Bats, Balls & Trauma Calls This session will help First Responders, EMT’s, Paramedics, Nurses, and Physicians better understand sports injuries that occur in neighborhood ballparks. During this session, we will take a look at some of the most common types of sports injuries to children and teenagers from Little League through High School. We will review how children are often injured while riding bicycles, skateboarding and playing baseball, football and soccer. We will discuss the treatment for sprains, strains and injuries caused by repetitive sports. We will also discuss sports related trauma calls such as fractures, head injuries and blunt trauma. We will discuss both BLS and ALS treatment for specific sports injuries and will end the session by immobilizing a baseball player with a common baseball injury. Prehospital Care for the Morbidly Obese Patient This session will help providers have a better understanding of how morbidly obese patients are injured. We will use a unique power point presentation to show how difficult it is for obese patients to do simple things such as eating and using the toilet. During this session we will take a look at some of the most common injuries in obese patients and how difficult it is to render care. We will discuss how normal prehospital care equipment just doesn’t work. Discussion will also include the use of bariatric equipment including stretchers and ambulances. We will discuss the treatment for sprains, strains, fractures and head injuries that are caused by their size and weight. We will also discuss how the obese patient often suffers from multiple medical conditions. Extreme Gun Shot Wounds (ALS) Each year nearly 55,000 people are killed as a result of firearms. Medical reports indicate that nearly 500,000 people Dial 911 and use EMS for Extreme Gun Shot Wounds each year. The high incidence of injury and death due to firearms is second only to motor vehicle accidents. This session will use Gun Violence data collected from U.S. Cities including the City of New Orleans "The Big Easy"! During this session we will discuss types of weapons used and explain the following topics: Types on Injuries, MOI, Kinetic Energy, Shock from Blood Loss, and Basic and Advanced Life Support.

Ken Bouvier - continued EMS: More Than Just A Ride To The Hospital – GENERAL SESSION This session is designed to help Prehospital Care Practitioners better understand that EMS has changed and our profession has become “More than Just an Ambulance Ride”. With the rising cost of health care in the United States more and more people are dialing 911 and using the local ambulance service as their life net or primary source of medical care. Americans rank high when it comes to Cardiac Arrest, Hypertension, Diabetes, Obesity and Cancer. EMS responds to large populations of poor and uninsured patients who are often non-compliant with their medications and diet and live a very unhealthy lifestyle. The events of September 11, 2001 changed our lives forever and for the past 14 years we have had to respond to incidents both natural and man-made that forced EMS to be specially trained for unusual events including disasters and acts of terrorist, and for that reason the public is counting on EMS to be their life-net. School Shootings – Ready or Not This session is designed to help First Responders, EMT’s and Paramedics to be better prepared to handle incidents where school children have become victims of gun violence. During this session we will review shooting incidents where children have been both critically injured and killed while attending school. We will explain how your EMS system may become overloaded with requests for service. We will also remind responders that they may be forced to render care to children that they know from the community including their own. The session will also explain scene safety, and how to manage the scene, including dealing with concerned parents. We will also review respecting the crime scene and explain both BLS & ALS treatment for Gun Shot Wounds.

SIRS & Peds: The Surprising Truth About Pediatric Septic Shock (ALS) Pediatric fever can be a benign symptom of common childhood illness. But what about when it isn’t? When bacterial or viral infection triggers Systemic Inflammatory Disease Syndrome (SIRS) it’s known as pediatric sepsis. In the United States each year there are approximately 430,000 cases of pediatric sepsis, approximately 10% of which are considered pediatric severe sepsis. Of these, approximately 4,300 children die each year, often due to missed or delayed diagnosis. But today EMS plays a decisive role in the identification and early treatment of these critically ill children. This program will show advanced EMS providers how to assess, treatment, and coordinate care for these very sickest children. Take home the knowledge of how you can make the biggest difference for our littlest patients.

Rom Duckworth A career Fire Captain / Paramedic EMS Coordinator and past volunteer chief officer, Rommie L. Duckworth is the Co-Founder and Director of The New England Center for Rescue and Emergency Medicine, the Editorial Director for RescueDigest.com and Executive Director of the First Few Moments non-profit education corporation. As a dedicated emergency responder and award-winning educator with more than twenty-five years of experience working in career and volunteer fire departments, public and private emergency services and hospital healthcare systems Rom is a frequent speaker at conferences around the world and a contributor to research, magazines, & textbooks on topics of emergency services operations, leadership, and education.

Rom Duckworth - continued Mass Casualty Incidents: First Due Lessons Learned from Storms, School Buses & September 11th Using the instructor’s personal experiences from Hurricane Andrew and 9/11 along with lessons from MCI management around the world to make core skills of MCI management both concrete and tangible, students will learn “first due” command and control for large and small-scale mass casualty incidents and apply these principles through role-play and scenarios. This dynamic program covers fundamental aspects of Command, Triage, Treatment and Transportation. Difficult Airway Management: The MAGIC of First Pass Success (ALS) Rapid and effective airway management is critical for good patient outcomes, but patient presentation, field conditions and other limitations can sometimes present tremendous challenges. With practical methods to rapidly identify, assess and overcome difficult airway conditions with new tricks, tools and techniques, along with innovative ways to use the tools that we already have, never again should you have that “if only…” feeling after a difficult airway situation. This program utilizes the latest research, practice and expert opinion in prehospital airway management to provide responders of all levels with what they need to collaborate in overcoming difficult airway emergencies. Perspiration & Inspiration: You’ve Got To Love This Job – GENERAL SESSION Delivering emergency services is so much more than simply showing up for calls. Working emergency services can demand literal blood, sweat, and tears. Through our careers we work hard to gain skill, experience, and understanding, all while roadblocks challenge us and make it easy to lose our way. Opportunities to make a significant difference in the lives of others above and beyond 911 response can easily slip past as our systems struggle to keep up with the pressures of emergency calls. When we feel like we’ve run out of perspiration where can we look for our inspiration? In this humorous, passionate and insightful presentation, Rom’s stories shine light on ways that we can keep our heads, hearts and hands all pulling in the same direction, even by the side of the road at 3 am on a dark and stormy night. Extrication and EMS: Coordinating Team Delivery of Critical Care Good vehicle extrication demands a unique collaboration between rescue and emergency medical personnel. The purpose of this course is to increase your situational awareness and improve your strategic and tactical plans for extrication by incorporating key medical information in the decision-making process. To save a victim (not just chop up a vehicle) you need command, coordination, communication and care. This program uses a real-world approach to incorporate advanced life support considerations in the extrication strategy and shows how a great deal of critical trauma care can be managed quickly and effectively by BLS first responders. This program will help you better and more safely deliver immediate life-saving treatment, reduce time from patient contact to patient surgery and improve the lives of the people you are protecting. It Takes All Kinds: Trauma Care in Special Populations (ALS) Caring for patients with severe traumatic injuries can be difficult enough but what do you do when your patient is very young, very old or very pregnant? “Special populations” is the term we use to identify patients for whom we need new tools and different rules for trauma care. This program shows you how to ensure an informed size-up, systematic assessment and delivery of effective, prioritized trauma care for the most challenging patients that you’ll encounter. Board to Death: Improving Spinal Immobilization in Three Steps (ALS) Spinal injuries cause an estimated 6,000 deaths and 5,000 new cases of quadriplegia each year. It’s no wonder that EMS providers have been taught, “Better to board them all than miss a single injury.” But universal spinal immobilization has its own costs and risks, and there are better options. Should we be “boarding” everyone, no one, or somewhere in between? What is “safe” and what are the liabilities? This program examines EMS field care of traumatic c-spine injuries evaluating different selective spinal stabilization protocols, pros and cons of common spinal stabilization tools and techniques and methods for providers of any level to help their system adopt and implement these best practices.

Rom Duckworth - continued The Silent Majority: Geriatrics in the New Millennium The proportion of the elderly in America is greater today than ever before and is growing even larger. What’s more, the elderly tend to be our sickest and most challenging patients. What signs and symptoms may indicate common disease processes, the normal signs of aging or special needs of the geriatric patient? How do you deal with the special needs of the geriatric patient? With a focus on every aspect of caring for your patient, this presentation answers your questions so that you’ll love what you learn. Enhanced Patient Care Hand Off: Don’t Lose Patients in “The Bermuda Triangle of Healthcare” Keeping a patient’s information straight as they move from one medical provider to another can be a difficult, if not impossible task. The providers giving reports can be disorganized and unclear. The providers taking reports can be unprepared and distracted. It’s the patient who gets caught (or lost) in the middle. The Joint Commission has identified patient hand-off as a critical safety and quality problem, and the Wall Street Journal has called patient hand-off “the Bermuda triangle of healthcare”. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Using real-world examples, this program applies evidence-based techniques and proven resources from the military, the fire service, and the Center for Transforming Healthcare to show providers how to convey priority information in critical situations without dropping the ball.

Roger Glick, MS, MBA, CEM, FACHE Roger Glick is the Senior Emergency Management Consultant for the Carilion Clinic, a not-for-profit healthcare organization serving a population of nearly 1 million and based in Roanoke, VA.

He has earned the distinctions of becoming a Certified Emergency Manager and a Fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives. He and his wife are blessed with seven children.

Station Fire & Small Community Disasters This workshop will discuss the impact that disasters have on the communities they strike, and discuss the EMS role in response and recovery. Minutes after 11:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 20, 2003, sparks from a pyrotechnic display ignited the foam soundproofing insulation on the stage behind the rock band “Great White” during its opening number at the Station Club in West Warwick, RI. Within seconds, the flames raced across the ceiling, enveloping the nightclub in billowing black smoke. In a matter of minutes, the raging fire claimed 96 lives and injured more than 200 others. Four of the injured subsequently died from their wounds, raising the total number of fatalities to 100. Rail Car Disasters: An Overlooked Hazard With the 2005 Graniteville, SC Train derailment as a foundation, this session will focus on the risks associated with rail transport of Hazardous Materials and discuss strategies for reducing community vulnerability to these risks. HazMat Incident Management: EMS Branch Hazardous Materials – Managing The Incident and The Eight Step Process are two of the best tools available for safe, efficient resolution to a HazMat response. This session will review these invaluable tools, as well as discuss the injuries that an EMS responder can expect to encounter when responding to various classes of Hazardous Materials releases. Ideas for pre-planning a community to best prepare for such an event in advance will also be shared.

John F. Ryan John is a 32 year veteran of the Department of Defense Fire & Emergency Services and is currently the Chief of Special Operations and Training, overseeing the CBRN, Hazardous Materials Emergency Response, Emergency Medicine and Technical Rescue Programs at Fort Gordon, home of the United States Army Cyber Command. Assistant Chief Ryan was awarded the DA Commanders Award for Civilian Excellence, and created a Hazardous Materials Pre Planning Dashboard that was recognized as a US Army Installation Management Command Best Practice and briefed to MG Ferriter via teleconference at the Pentagon. Mr. Ryan has been published in Hazardous Materials Managing the Incident 4th Edition, an industry text used worldwide, as well as several Disaster Medicine texts published by the American Medical Association. As the healthcare and hazardous materials emergency response worlds were drawn together to formulate a new model, the First Receiver, John co-authored a text on the decontamination of victims of chemical accidents or incidents. The resulting travel has seen training delivered to emergency responders and healthcare professionals extensively across the United States, as well as internationally in South Korea, the United Arab Emirates and on several trips to the Federated States of Micronesia. As the Emergency Services industry transitions into the 21st century All Hazards model, Assistant Fire Chief John Ryan represents a functioning example of old school and new school coming together to reach across physical, disciplinary, and generational boundaries to measure what’s important and tirelessly pursue strategies to deliver results.

Roger Glick and John Ryan - continued Rescue Task Force (RTF): Roles of EMS During an Active Shooter Event – GENERAL SESSION The accepted standard EMS response to the Active Shooter event has been to stage in a secure location until Law Enforcement either isolates or eliminates the threat, and secures the area to create a safe scene for Fire/EMS operations. Studies have proven, however, that waiting for a secure scene before accessing victims with certain injuries may often result in the death of an otherwise potentially viable patient. Battlefield medicine has evolved to the point of taking the treatment forward to the point of the injury, and saving lives. The RTF concept takes the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (T-CCC) model and adapts it for use in the civilian environment; with medics in a forward position, armed with appropriate PPE and teamed with Law Enforcement. Life-saving care can be provided much sooner than traditional deployment methods, and lives that would otherwise be lost may be saved. HSEEP and NIMS: Beyond the Certificate The Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) is a very useful source for EMS responders to prepare for their response to All Hazards threats in their area of responsibility. Unfortunately, beyond the online training required by many agencies, little useful understanding of how to maximize this training and preparedness tool and integrate HSEEP into The National Incident Management System (NIMS) planning requirements.

Pediatric Emergency Training Simulator Class (PETS) Children involved in an emergency medical situation deeply touch the hearts of all. The goal of the Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMS-C) Program is to reduce the severity of illness and injury in the children of Nebraska. EMSC has designed a custom class specifically for health care providers feel more comfortable with pediatric patients. The Pediatric Emergency Training Simulator (PETS) class covers topics related to respiratory, trauma and medical problems using a case-based teaching method and hands on simulators.

This class will be presented a total of six (6) times with a maximum per class of 32 students each time.
