Joint Public Safety Response to the Active Shooter
Presented by renowned expert
Mike Clumpner PhD (POST Credit Pending) 8:00am to 5:30 pm Short Creek 1&2
MOKAN Resuscitation Academy 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Fall Creek
Lunch on your own Survival from out of hospital ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest varies significantly around the United
States. In fact, where you live can have an impact on whether you survive this type of cardiac arrest. If you
live in Detroit, Chicago, or even New York, your chance of survival is below 6%. However if you reside in
Seattle, it significantly increases to approximately 62%.
In an attempt to impact cardiac arrest survivability in Missouri and Kansas, the MOKAN Resuscitation Acad-
emy was formed to provide evidence based education and best practices in the management of cardiac ar-
rest to attendees. The MOKAN Resuscitation Academy is supported by the Mid-America Regional Council Emergency Rescue
Committee (MARCER) and the Resuscitation Academy located in Seattle, Washington.
This one day conference will involve lectures and a High Performance CPR practical portion that will for sure get your heart pumping. We will cover the Science of CPR and Post Arrest Emergency Care, Community Programs, and Cardiac Arrest Quality Improvement programs. Designed for those who can bring changes to their agencies/organizations.
Instructors:
Mike Wallace; Dr. J. Reich
$50
Hang on to your seat as Mike takes you through a jam-packed, fast-paced day. You will
definitely come away with new information.
This powerful lecture will discuss many facets of active shooter response including the
shooter history and the constant modification of active shooter attacks based on research
the shooter(s) conducted. Research of the active shooter “stopwatch of death” will be explored including predictors based on age, race academic history and social status.
The threat of radical extremists and international terrorist threats against our schools
will also be discussed and explored.
This class is designed for active public safety members, military law enforcement, intelli-
gence analysts, hospital administrators only and is definitely not available to the general
public.

Opening Session: 8:15-9:30 a.m.
A Funny Thing Happened on My Way Through the Jungle!
Jeff Solheim MSN, RN
Jeff Solheim has been Executive Director of a not-for-profit medical organization for 20 years allow-
ing him to travel with medical teams to some of the most desolate areas of the world. In this very vis-
ual and emotional presentation, Jeff takes participants on a trip around the world, sharing life-
lessons learned from nearly every corner of the earth.
Concurrent Sessions 10:00-11:15 a.m.
Location: Taneycomo A
101 ABG Interpretation for the ABG
Challenged
Jeff Solheim RN
Partially compensated
metabolic acidosis.
Uncompensated respiratory
alkalosis. Does this sometimes
seem like Greek to you. This
session will provide
participants with an overview
of the pathophysiology of
arterial blood glasses, as well as
a unique method for
interpreting blood gases.
Participants will also be able to
apply knowledge learned
through various case studies.
Location: Short Creek 1&2
102 Trauma and the Pregnant Patient
Dr. Scott Bjerke There is another baby boom happening all
around us. This boom differs in many
ways from the post World War Two baby
boom and more pregnant women are pre-
senting to emergency Departments and
Trauma Centers than ever before. For
many the thought of caring for a pregnant
Trauma Patient raises significant anxiety
because of the nature of two patients in
one. This lecture will discuss some of the
statistics around pregnant Trauma and
present a rational method of caring for
both patients without significantly stressing
out EMS and hospital personnel. Case
studies will be presented in addition to
physiologic and anatomic information about
the pregnant trauma patient that will make their
prehospital, hospital and post hospital care eas-
ier for healthcare workers at all levels.
Location: Short Creek 3&4
103 Who Needs the Emergency Dept Alternative destinations for patients
Dr. Brent Myers
Emergency Departments in the United
States serve not only as appropriate por-
tals to care for those with time-sensitive
conditions but also as an important safety
net for those with less acute condi-
tions. While much of the utilization of an
emergency department is appropriate,
there is an emerging body of evidence that
helps identify those patients who may
safely be treated without an intervention
in the emergency department. Come hear
how patients with a wide variety of clini-
cal conditions, from narcotic overdose to
falls in assisted living facilities may be
screened in the out-of-hospital environ-
ment and unnecessary transportation to
the emergency department may be
avoided.

Location: Taneycomo A Location: Short Creek 1&2 Location: Short Creek 3&4
201 Ethics in Practice, A Blurred Line
Between Right and
Wrong
Jeff Solheim RN
Emergency Nurses face ethical dilem-
mas almost every time they work.
Many times, these ethical dilemmas
are not even recognized and emer-
gency nurses are able to manage the
dilemma through past experience. At
other times, these dilemmas can create
challenges between members of the
health care team as well as challenges
between members of the health care
team and patients or their families.
This session will present numerous
case studies as a way to introduce ethi-
cal principles that should be used to
guide unique and challenging ethical
clinical situations.
202 Acute Fluid Resuscitation and
TXA
Dr. Scott Bjerke
Recommendations for Acute Fluid Resusci-
tation seem to change with each major
world conflict. Keeping up with the recom-
mendations of the year can be difficult and
frustrating. This lecture will discuss some
of the historical precedents of fluid resusci-
tation in both wartime and civilian practice
and the newest changes and standards be-
ing used today. Be prepared for some basic
physiology and anatomy as well as the sci-
entific reasons behind some of the newer
recommendations. Pre and In hospital use
of TXA will also be discussed with reasons
for use, the current experience in the US
and other countries and patient outcomes
based on recent large studies.
203 Show Me the Money—Healthcare
Financing and EMS in 2016—
Change is Coming
Dr. Brent Myers
Healthcare payment methodologies in the
United States are undergoing a period of
tremendous reform. From readmission
penalties to transitions of care to value
based purchasing — new terms and con-
cepts are being introduced or redefined on a
seemingly daily basis. What does all of this
mean for the frontline healthcare pro-
vider? What changes might one expect in
the next few months, next year, next dec-
ade? The good news is the major theme
has remained constant for over a dec-
ade: value-based purchasing will take
precedence over volume-based purchas-
ing. Come to this lecture to learn how the
ideal medical practices and EMS Systems
of the future will respond to this changing
financial landscape.
Concurrent Sessions 2:00-3:15 p.m.
Location: Taneycomo A Location: Short Creek 1&2 Location: Short Creek 3&4
301 Recognizing and Responding to
Child Abuse
Lori Beck RN
Physical signs of child abuse is usually
obvious. Cuts and bruises in various
stages of healing or opposite side inju-
ries are pretty easy to spot. Less ap-
parent are many other signs and
symptoms including developmental or
behavioral issues. Fatigue, changes in
eating habits, feeling of shame, guilt or
embarrassment can also signal abuse.
This presentation will discuss how to
recognize even subtle child abuse signs
and also the role of the pediatrician
and others involved in the care of the
child.
302 Elderly Falls, Is This Really a Level I
Trauma Patient?
Dr. Scott Bjerke Standing falls in the elderly is the newest epi-
demic in the United States. These injuries pre-
sented in the past as isolated broken wrists and
the occasional hip fracture and were usually
transported to local hospitals or to low level
trauma Centers in the United States. The num-
bers of elderly transported to level One Trauma
Centers is rapidly increasing and these systems,
used to dramatic trauma in young patients from
Motor Vehicle crashes and Penetrating Trauma,
are questioning the paradigm shift and the best
method to care for the new wave of elderly
trauma presenting to their doors. \Changes in
the population has changed the face of Trauma
Care and the benefits and problems with the new
reality.
303 Therapeutic Temperature Manage-
ment after Cardiac Arrest
Dr. Brent Myers
What is the best practice today for pa-
tients who are non-neurologically in-
tact after resuscitation from cardiac
arrest? Over the past decade, many
studies which appear to contradict
themselves have been published, lead-
ing to confusion and lack of standardi-
zation. Come to this informative and
entertaining lecture and we will sort
through the literature, critically review
key studies, and describe a rational
approach to treating this important
group of patients.

Opening Remarks 8:00-8:15 a.m. Taneycomo A
General Session: 8:15-9:30 a.m.
Special Agent David Cudmore
Terrorism/Weapons of Mass Destruction Update
Originally from Boston, Massachusetts and now assigned to the Missouri and Kansas region is FBI Special Agent (SA) David Cudmore
who will provide an update to the ever changing International Terrorism (IT), Domestic Terrorism (DT) and Weapons of Mass Destruc-
tion (WMD) threat landscape. He will cover global events and threats that could adversely impact local emergency responders and opera-
tions. Having done numerous national and international presentations, SA Cudmore’s presentation will go far beyond the simple weapons
of mass destruction issues with information that could be invaluable in saving our own lives as well as the lives of our patients.
Concurrent Sessions 9:50– a.m. -11:05 a.m.
Location: Taneycomo A Location: Short Creek 1&2 Location: Short Creek 3&4
401 Syrian Crisis and American
Youth
SA David Cudmore
Why Islamic extremists would let
American and foreign men/women
take up arms in Syria raises many
questions. It’s a huge step going from
living in American suburbia to taking
up arms against the Syrian govern-
ment. Beginning in March 2013, SA
Cudmore deployed on a three month
duty assignment to all four borders of
Syria involving WMD investiga-
tions. See the refugee pictures and
hear the story of the Syrian crisis first
hand.
403 Drones: Nightmare in the Air or
Cool Technology…What’s it Gonna
Be?
Tammy Chatman CMTE
Drones have exploded on the market
and were one of the top purchases for
Christmas gifts in 2015. It has become
a hot topic hobby. The drones also
bring great value to farmers, realtors,
fire management and numerous other
professions. But what happens when
an air ambulance needs to land and a
drone is taking pictures of the car
wreck? How can we communicate
with the drone operator? Come listen
to this and other real life challenges as
well as benefits of drones.
402 Dirty Dozen: Infection Control in
EMS
Janet Taylor RN
“Don’t touch that! It has germs on it! Did
you wash your hands?” We all heard
these words from our mothers as we were
growing up . Mom isn’t watching any-
more but there are dozens of bacteria
that affect us every day. Some are good
and some are bad. We know about MRSA
and C-Diff and antibiotic resistance bacte-
ria. Infection control is a hugely impor-
tant factor for hospitals. If we are going to
be good partners in health care, we need
to do our part. This session will raise your
level of awareness on ways to keep your-
self and your patient safe.
Concurrent Sessions: 11:15 a.m.—12:30 p.m.
Location: Taneycomo A Location: Short Creek 1&2
502 The Second Victim
Laura Hirschinger RN
Emergency medical services workers
deal with tragedies everyday. In order
to remain effective and professional
we push our emotions aside. The af-
termath of an unexpected patient
event can suddenly send us into a
‘Second Victim’ phenomena where
we may blame ourselves or suffer
other emotional trauma. The Second
Victim training is a holistic approach
to staff self-care that empowers them
to “take care of their own” and create
a more positive patient safety culture.
503 Wag the Dog….EKGs Your In-
structor Warned You About
Steve Harkness EMT-P
Steve will take you though an in-
teresting look at EKGs with
unique qualifiers that have big
impacts on our patients. Easily
identifiable, yet somehow obscure.
When you look at FLBs (Funny
Looking Beats) or scratching your
head these are some things to
think about.
Location: Short Creek 3&4
501. Pediatric Drowning
Dr. Peter Antevy
Death from pediatric drowning
remains a significant problem
world wide. Outcomes of non-
fatal drownings remain variable
and inconsistent. Join DR. Antevy
as he describes the drowning se-
quence and plays audio of
911calls and video of actual resus-
citations. Learn about the up to
date evidence regarding treat-
ment, including the latest on hy-
pothermia and ECMO.

602 Implement Your Own Second
Victim Plan
Laura Hirschinger RN
In the last session you learned
how he Second Victim training
is a holistic approach to staff
self-care that empowers them to
“take care of their own” and
create a more positive patient
safety culture. This session will
give you the tools to develop
and deploy your own clinical
support team so Care for the
Caregiver can be provided
within your organization.
603 Facebook is NOT Your Di-
ary! The How-to-Guide to the 3
P’s of Social Media: Professional-
ism, Privacy and Protection
Tammy Chatman CMTE
Organizations and employees
use social media to reach dif-
ferent audiences. It can be
used to be a positive ambassa-
dor but it can also cause
breeches in security and pri-
vacy. This session will review
ways to be professional and
avoid the pitfalls of online so-
cial media engagement
General Session: 3:00 - 4: 15 p.m. Taneycomo A
Dr. Jeff Coughenour Medical Director University of MO Trauma Center
Rural Trauma: What Make It Different
Dr. Coughenour will address rural trauma system development and function. While care of the injured patient in the
rural setting may not be all that different from our urban counterparts, assurance of quality, efficient care with
limited material and human resources can be challenging. This session will provide a template to developing an
optimal RURAL trauma system, with a special emphasis on performance improvement and research (yes, even in

lenge you with a case based
presentation using actual EMS
calls. Test your knowledge of
medications that can kill chil-
dren with just one dose.

Hardwired Systems of Thinking – The Root of Pediatric Errors Have you ever wondered why pediatrics causes so much anxiety for prehospital providers? Why is it that

swer is based on scientific evidence that evaluates the brain’s function during stress. Join Dr. Antevy for an

Patient assessments are done in an
organized repetitive way so we don’t

tion done the same way? Do you have
the right consent documentation and
other important points in every re-
port? This session will teach you what
is admissible in court regarding your
documentation and how each portion
integrates with other parts. Software
programs used for reporting cause
issues and may conflict with the court
process. You definitely need to take
heed of this presentation.

702 Battle of the Belts
Lori (Schwalm) Freeman RN, EMT
Teen seat belt use in Missouri is
only 67 %which is much lower
than the state average of 79% or
the national average of 86% seat
belt use. Missouri has 28 schools
with a seat belt usage rate of 50%
or less Teens from age 15-18 are
required to wear their seat belt —it
is a primary offense if they don’t.
So why is this basic safety feature
ignored and to what end? How
can we influence change?
Location: Short Creek 3&4
