BILL JUSTICE ___

Bringing Battlefield Medicine to our Streets

Decisive and split second care of bleeding, chest injuries and airway problems to include “self aid” is imperative for a positive outcome of

a trauma patient. This program presents the most current effective interventions following the Trauma Casualty Care Course (TCCC) recommenda-

tions of immediate life saving steps and the proper sequence in which to do them. The program is targeted to all audiences both hospital and pre-

hospital clinicians, law enforcement, military and special operational units.

A Shout Away - Response to Mass Casualty Incidents

This session will provide participants with a realistic perspective of the necessary components to choreograph an MCI. How to best utilize

the newest SALT triage / treatment program in the pre-hospital and hospital environment. This new program allows for early intervention of specif-

ic life-threatening conditions and allow a more effective triage / tagging system. A review of the difference between a multi-patient incident, and

mass casualty incident, roles and responsibilities of responders, scene safety, incident management system for pre and in-hospital will be discussed.

Surviving in the Crosshair—Response to Active Shooter

Have you read in the news lately? One of the fastest growing problems in America is urban terrorism. This presentation will focus on new

tactics for both law enforcement and medical providers involved in an active shooter scenario. This program is extremely controversial and over-

views the newest most effective way to respond to an active shooter event. Teamwork, good communication, effective triage, proper equipment and

a formulated plan “before” the attack are paramount for an integrated response.

MARTY COOMES

So, You Want To Be A Chief Officer (Part 1 & 2)

Many outstanding firefighters and company officers ascend to the level of Chief Officer only to be profoundly disappointed in their level

of job satisfaction. Much of this can be attributed to false expectations of what the job really entails. This challenging and interactive session will

cover many of the myth and realities of being promoted to a Chief level position in your department. This seminar will cover, incident management

from small to large, as well as responsibilities in the administrative realm of stepping up to this all important position of leadership.

First In Fire Attack: Facing Fire and Life Upon Arrival (Part 1 & 2)

This visually compelling program looks at the fast paced dynamic fireground and the first - in decision making and critical thinking of

those first - in companies. The program reviews the critical actions and decisions that these companies make and their outcomes. The program en-

lightens you to many variations on policies and procedures that departments use throughout the country. Critical decisions making review such as

the first hose line, ventilation practices, VEIS, command and control, maydays, fire behavior and the potential for collapse of burning buildings.

The program is invaluable to all ranks of the fire service.

CHRIS EBRIGHT ______________

A Kicker for the Ticker

Occasionally EMS professionals encounter a patient with an implanted pacemaker. When that device isn’t working optimally, it may cause signs and symptoms that range from a minor inconvenience to a major physiologic malfunction. This presentation will describe and discuss the common terminology, various normal ECG presentations, and the complications and consequences of an implanted pacemaker that malfunc-tions.

The Sick AMI

Cardiogenic shock secondary to myocardial malfunction has serious consequences for any patient experiencing an AMI. This presentation explains the causes, pathophysiology and mechanics behind the development of cardiogenic shock as well as how to assess and treat these patients in the pre-hospital setting.

Hot Tots! Pediatric Burn Patients

It is estimated that there are approximately 3,000 pediatric deaths annually due to burns and probably three times as many disabling inju-ries. Burns not only affect the body physically, but also the life-long emotional well-being of individuals who must deal with any disfigurement that occurred from a burn. This presentation will help the EMS provider provide proper, rapid assessment and care to a pediatric patient sustaining a burn from flame, electrical and / or inhalation injury.

7 Things to Know about Pediatric Cardiac Arrest

The worst call possible: child in cardiac arrest. So many thoughts go through your head before you show up. On scene, chaos reigns. Why did this happen? What do I do first? The situation alone of treating a child or infant is daunting even for the most seasoned EMS professional—this presentation will help you focus and be more confident when attempting resuscitation on this patient population.

Until All the Pieces Fit

As a pre-hospital care provider, on average, you are seven times more likely to come in contact with a person on the autism spectrum. It is not one condition, but rather a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. As a result, these patients can present EMS providers with unique assessment and management challenges. This presentation will explain the autism spectrum as well as certain notable characteristics of these patients to consider when performing an assessment and rendering medical treatment.

FIDEL GARCIA ___________

The Who—What—Why of Patient Care

EMS is a challenging and unpredictable profession. Patient care should always be the priority, however we do not always do what is best practice for our patient. During this presentation we will look at how we can implement changes that improve patient care and incorporate a culture of safety. Using lesson learned from aviation we will breakdown the components of Crew Resource Management to be the best we can be with every patient on every call.

The Lethal Trauma Triad

Using a case presentation we will explore the effects of shock on the body. This presentation will weave the findings noted in the neuroendocrine response to shock, while being able to identify the S/S of the “Lethal Triad”. Finally, it will conclude with appropriate management of your patient to prevent patient death. This presentation is an in depth look at the pathophysiology behind shock and how to treat your patient effectively.

Acute Coronary Syndromes

Coronary artery disease is still the leading cause of death in the United States. Using case presentations we will follow interesting cases from the field through their treatment at the receiving facility. Emphasis will be on twelve leads, signs and symptoms, and developing a treatment plan that ties into the hospital management to decrease myocardial damage.

Dazed and Confused: Head Injuries

Head trauma accounts for 25% of trauma deaths with 10% expiring in the prehospital setting, neurologic trauma can be devastating and irreversible. Using a case presentation we will discuss signs / symptoms of specific head injuries and current interventions.

Septic Shock: A Tale of Two Brothers

“A Rude Unhinging To The Machinery Of Life” is a realistic definition for shock. We will review the primary types of shock with emphasis on septic shock. From an inside perspective we will use cases that show the stages and severity of septic shock, and why it is important to identify and treat it early and aggres-sively.

Managing Children with Special Needs

What is Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia and how do you treat it? What can you do for when you are dispatched for a venticuloperitoneal shunt issue? How do you manage a patient with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)? It is estimated that 12 million children, or 18% in the United States have special health care needs. This presentation will use case scenario’s to identify issues with special needs children and what we can do to manage the patient.

.JOHN HARDY ___________

Strategic & Tactical Command in Structural Firefighting

Regardless of the size of your organization, we must ensure that there is an effective command structure at all working incidents. Whether it is a career, combination or volunteer department the strategic and tactical applications and control at structural fires ensures a responsible and safe fire ground. This course focus-es on the Incident Commanders and their company officers responsibilities as it relates to the basic command structure, fire ground safety, and fire ground accounta-bility. In addition this course provides for those in charge at structural fires to create a fire ground engrained in situational awareness for all its members no matter what the rank or position.

Tactical Priorities for the Fire Ground

Today’s fireground is an unpredictable as ever. Inside this presentation we will be looking at tactical benchmarks relating to fast paced decision making by first-in companies arriving at structural fires. The seminar will examine multiple areas such as building construction, fireground size –up on arrival, tactical postures and applications suck as offensive and defensive along with occupant profiling and ventilation needs. Tactical priorities are driven by strategic decisions which then are committed to action by firefighters in which this program will help provide answers for those first arriving at structural fires.

KENNETH NAVARRO ____

Sudden Death in Young Athletes

The possibility that young physically fit athletes may be susceptible to sudden cardiac death seems counter-intuitive. Nevertheless, such catastrophes

occur, often in the absence of prior symptoms and the emotional and social impact can be profound. Two conditions, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and commotio

cordis together are responsible for almost half of the deaths. This presentation will examine these conditions in detail and provide EMS with useful information for

helping to reduce the incidence of sudden death in the young athletes within their local communities.

Size Matters: Differentiating Large Vessel from Small Vessel Occlusion in Stroke

Stroke is a nonspecific term that has come to mean a sudden interruption of blood flow to a portion of the brain resulting in loss of neurological function. On

average, someone in the United States suffers a stroke every 45 seconds making it the fifth leading cause of death in this country. In this session, we will examine the

latest advances in the prehospital management of stroke, including the use of mobile stroke units and the management of large vessel occlusions.

Fluid Resuscitation: Without an IV

Aggressive out-of-hospital fluid administration to patients suffering from traumatic injury increases blood loss and mortality. Recently, researchers devel-

oped an easy to use device that will increase blood return to the heart therby increasing cardiac output and cerebral perfusion, while simultaneously lowering intracra-

nial pressures (ICP). This new therapy requires no IV, no advanced airway, and in fact, no advanced skills of any kind. This presentation will examine how rescuers

can provide beneficial fluid therapy without ever having to spike an IV bag.

MARK SPANGENBURG Capnography—The Wave of the Future

With Capnography becoming the gold standard for respiratory monitoring healthcare professionals need to accurately and rapidly interpret capnograms in

EtCO2 monitoring. By being able to interpret normal and abnormal capnograms, medical personnel can save valuable time, reduce critical errors and provide best

practice treatment for a patient with respiratory and metabolic changes. This course is designed and developed for EMT’s, AEMT’s, Paramedics, Nurses, and all other

BLS & ALS professionals who provide EtCO2 monitoring in multiple patient care settings such as pre-hospital, ER, clinics, or any other patient settings utilizing

EtCO2 capnography monitoring.

MARK SPANGENBURG Hands On Anatomy Lab - Pig Heart and Lung Dissection

The hands-on pig dissection lab is an interactive lab. Participants will accomplish identifying all parts of the heart ( including identifying the SA node),

trachea and lungs. Participants will cannulate the coronary arteries to simulate the difficulty in cannulating scalp veins in an infant. They will complete the skill of

surgical cricothyrotomy, ventilate without and with PEEP, and dissect the trachea, and bronchioles til they are so tiny as not to be visible. During the dissection lab,

participants will see and discuss the pathophysiology why we don’t use nitro for inferior MI’s and why a massive anterior MI causes patients to develop CHF shortly

after the MI. This lab allows the participants to gain a vast amount of skills on critical airway management and difficult IV access. Class size is limited, be sure to

register early!

Before I Forget—Dealing with Patients who have Alzheimer’s and their caretakers

Alzheimer’s dementia gradually robs its victims and their loved ones of precious years by forever altering memories, emotional and physical well-being.

Join us for case-based group discussions regarding strengthening our knowledge and skills of dealing with patient who present with various phases of this devastating

disease. We will also review signs that might help us spot additional need of the caregivers of these patients.

I Did Not Know That

No one knows everything though we all know people who might think they do. Ever wonder the reasons behind some of the things we see and do? This session

will take a deeper look into that wonderment. Perhaps we can build on our already awesome knowledge!

Ooh, Aah, Ooh! How Did That Happen

This session is not for the faint of heart. We will be looking at different trauma pictures and attempting to figure out exactly what the patient said happened. Let’s see

how well you think outside the box on causation. By the end of this presentation, the attendee will have taken a fresh look at soft tissue trauma and best practices on

how to deal with this trauma. The attendee will have had fun with their differentials by thinking outside the box.

Funny You Don’t Look Deaf

Medical mistakes, omissions and delays can happen when miscommunication occurs on scene. This session takes a closer look at how to recognize and better com-

municate with our patients who are deaf or hard of hearing. Additionally, as EMS professionals, we put our hearing at risk on a daily basis. Tips to avoid further hear-

ing loss will be explored. During the last portion of this session, attendees will have a chance to learn and practice some basic emergency signs in American Sign

Language.

Critical Thinking. How Differential are your Diagnoses?

As EMS professionals, we are called to many situations involving medical and trauma assessment. We are called to scenes where we are expected to be at our best,

every single time. Even when the patients are at their worst. In this session, participants will be broken up inot groups and given scenarios to identify as many plausi-

ble differential diagnoses as they can during a strict time limit. Think you and your group have the best differentials? Join us and prove your strength!

JAMES WILLIAMS

An Approach to Company Officer Discipline

Discipline of employees is an onerous task that company officers must undertake. Our perception of discipline is that of punishment. However, discipline is an effec-

tive tool that can be utilized to mold firefighters into effective, safe, and contributing members of any dept. The key to discipline is to use it appropriately and more

often than not, it can result of no punitive actions being taken. James will share with you his experiences and approaches to discipline, as well as providing insight to

typical dilemmas officers may face during their career when dealing with this aspect of management.

To Be or Not to Be

New and current supervisors have a tough choice to make. They have a choice ot either be a leader or a manager. Although many have a belief that these two things

are identical, they are different. Making the decision to either be a leader or a manager can be difficult decision. During this informative session, James will help at-

tendees to differentiate between the two, demonstrate how both qualities can mesh, and discuss the qualities of an effective leader and efficient manager.

Can We Learn From Humor

Humor is a necessary tool in order to stay sane in this profession. The sarcasm, jokes, and comments traded between safety providers are often found to be a form of

stress relief. However, from the outside looking in, most would think that we need serious therapy. Aside from the psychological benefits of humor, valuable lessons

can be learned. James will share with you some of the hilarious situations he has faced in his career and the lessons he has learned from each experience. Attendees are

encouraged to use the restroom prior to this session, as having an “accident” would be embarrassing.

I Need A Drink and Don’t Have the Good Stuff

Alcohol abuse is a prolific problem throughout the world. Many individuals addicted to this substance will often spend their last dime on a drink of alcohol. Have you

ever thought of what they do when they run out of money for the “good stuff?” During this session, we will explore common ingestions of substances chronic abuses

of alcohol may use to replace the “good stuff” and the devastating effects it can have on the human body.

If It Happened Today

Have you ever wondered if having todays prehospital response and capabilities would have changed the outcome of some of the most famous (or infamous) public

figures deaths? We all know that trauma care has evolved over the past several decades, however, with what we know today versus the care some of these individuals

received back then, would the outcome have changed? Attendees will review several famous traumatic deaths and the care they received, compare it to how we would

treat it today, and determine if their outcome would have been different if a “Time Machine Ambulance” would have existed.
