Assessing the Nightstand Medications by Jon PolitisLooking at a shoebox and meds and trying to sort it all out can be daunting. But those meds are usually the key to what their medical history is. This session will cover some of the most common prescription meds and why your patients may be taking them... Cardiac meds, anti-hypertensives, statins, diuretics, anti-coagulants, psychoactive, pulmonary and common pain medications.

Trauma Response: Time Matters by Dr. Drew McRoberts“Time waits for no one” is especially true when dealing with trauma. From the initial evaluation at the scene to transport and in-hospital management of the trauma patient, “time” and expertise is critical to outcomes. Examine this year’s most outstand-ing trauma cases and outcomes from our region following the patient from the scene of the injury through recovery.

Wilderness Case Studies in Pre-EMS by Dr. Buck Courtney and A.J. WeinholdThree 15-minute case studies considering preparation, field assessment, stabilization, treatment, transportation/evacuation in a back-country, pre-EMS setting.

Practical Patient Assessment: All Hands On Deck! by Cami TaysomTired of sitting? Come get some hands-on patient assessment practice. This exercise is suitable for anyone who needs solid Patient Assessment skills from a field perspective. When responding to 911 or SAR calls, we typically don't have all day or a nice warm, dry, well-lit, and clean place to assess our patients. This is a "get-er done" kind of assessment that ensures we follow a safe and e�icient system to find all the injuries, helps us decide what is not injured, and guide what care happens next.
