Excellence in Education

Greetings from the Oregon EMS Conference Committee

Welcome to the Oregon EMS Conference in sunny Bend, Oregon. We hope that everyone has had a wonderful year! We are excited about the dynamic speakers that are com-ing and we are honored that you have chosen to attend the Oregon EMS Conference.

We are welcoming back speakers Bob Page and Ritu Sahni and are happy to introduce Dan Limmer and Mike Shertz. If you have not heard them speak, prepare yourself for an educational experience that is both enriching and fun. These speakers as well as our other speakers this year are leaders in their field and are bringing wonderful educational content to this year’s conference.The cadaver lab continues to be a big success and will once again be held as one of our preconference courses. This course is an awesome opportunity to get hands on experience in human anatomy. Remember to sign up early since this course fills up fast!

We are also very excited to offer a new preconference course this year in Sim Technology! This course will be scenario based where students are immersed in real life scenarios with high-fidelity pediatric and adult manne-quins that provide feedback to the student. This course is designed for all levels of providers and will prove to be an enriching and educational experience for all.

The Post Conference BLS course will also be offered again this year. We had very positive feedback from last year’s post conference and are happy to offer this course again to our basic providers. The conference is at the Bend Riverhouse Conference Center in Bend, Oregon. They have been wonderful hosts to us in the past and we are looking forward to being there again this year. The committee would like to thank all of you for all the hard work that is done on a daily basis to make EMS great in Oregon. Thank you also for all of the support in making this conference great!

We hope to see you there!

General SessionLessons Learned Through the LensPresenter: Dan Limmer0800 - 0910

During the past 24 months Dan has been working on a photo documentary of EMS. Throughout the country EMS agencies, providers and patients have allowed him to document their stories in a collection of images. These images document clinical triumph and tragedy, compassion and comedy. In this photo-driven presentation he shares this experience with you providing both interpersonal and clinical insights that will both sharpen your skills and remind you of the EMS we passionately strive to provide.Daniel Limmer is an EMT-Paramedic who has been involved in EMS and Law Enforcement for more than 32 years and practices as a paramedic with Kennebunk Fire Rescue in Kennebunk, Maine. He is a co-author of Emergency Care, EMT Complete, Essentials of Emergency Care, Advanced Medical Life Support and First Responder - A Skills Approach. Dan has presented previously at the Oregon EMS Conference and his presentations are always well received and engaging. His ability to “speak to the BLS provider” is exceptional.

Slap the Cap! Real Use for Capnography in EMS - Part IPresenter: Bob Page, BAS, NREMT-P, CCEMT-P, NCEE0920 - 1030

You’ve had your introduction, heard about it, read about it, now it is time to get down to it. Capnography represents an important UPGRADE for your clinical assessment skills. In this non-stop session, participants will perform REAL waveform analysis of actual cases along with some

pretty incredible real time video of capnography. Come and see how the tool can be an incredible asset for the intubated and non-intubated patient. This will be an excellent class for the EMT as well as higher levels of providers including Intermediates and Paramedics.See bio on page 6.

Pre-hospital Therapeutic HypothermiaPresenter: Dr. Jim Bryan0920 - 1030The 2010 ACLS guidelines recommend therapeutic hypothermia for comatose patients with Return Of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) after out-of-hospital VF cardiac arrest as well as arrest patients with an initial rhythm of PEA or asystole. The impact of the timing of initiating hypothermia is not completely understood, but studies have suggested the benefit may be lost when therapy is delayed. This presentation will review the available literature on the value of therapeutic hypothermia, current methods for inducing hypothermia and the benefits of initiating hypothermia in the prehospital setting.Jim Bryan, MD, PhD, is the medical director for Life Flight Network and a staff emergency physician at the VA Medical Center and Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. He previously served as medical director for the OHSU/OIT Paramedic Education Program for 14 years. Dr. Bryan has presented at multiple EMS conferences in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho on the topics of cardiac resuscitation and EMS pharmacology.

Ten Things I Wasn’t Taught in EMT ClassPresenter: Dan Limmer0920 - 1030EMT class teaches us a lot, but far from everything we need to know. This presentation talks about some of the clinical and non-clinical things

we weren’t taught in class and relates it to the everyday practice of EMS. Covering a wide-range of topics from clinical thinking to the human side of patient care, Dan shares Ten Things you wish you were taught in EMT class.See bio on this page.

Slap the Cap! Real Use for Capnography in EMS - Part IIPresenter: Bob Page1055 - 1205

(Continuation of Part I) You’ve had your introduction, heard about it, read about it, now it is time to get down to it. Capnography represents an important UPGRADE for your clinical assessment skills. In this non-stop session, participants will perform REAL waveform analysis of actual cases along with some pretty incredible real time video of capnography. Come and see how the tool can be an incredible asset for the intubated and non-intubated patient. This will be an excellent class for the EMT as well as higher levels of providers including Intermediates and Paramedics.See bio on page 6.

Case Studies in Traumatic DeathPresenter: Dan Limmer1055 - 1205

Cases involving serious trauma are challenging for every level of EMS provider. These calls are not common which adds to the challenge when they do come in. This presentation reviews actual multiple trauma calls to highlight key considerations at the scene including triage, resuscitation decisions, mechanism of injury, and patient care priorities.See bio on this page.

Saturday,October6ConferenceDay2

General SessionFrom Battle Field to Hay Field; Lessons Learned in the Care and Treatment of the Traumatic PatientPresenter: Dr. Michael Shertz0800 - 0910

The concepts behind the Department of Defense’s Tactical Combat Casualty Care guidelines will be presented. These guidelines are credited with decreasing the killed in action rate in modern combat for the first time in over three hundred years of warfare. Currently only one in every ten wounded service members dies from injuries sustained in combat. Traditionally that number has been one in four. Additionally we will discuss how these military guidelines can be applied to civilian EMS / first responders through the TCCC civilian counterpart the Tactical Emergency Casualty Care guidelines.See bio on page 11.

ShockPresenter: Dr. Matt Eschelbach0920 - 1030

Shock has several causes. It can be hemorrhagic, septic, or cardiogenic. For EMS the treatment and recognition of shock is central to understanding how to adequately treat patients. This lecture discusses the cause, recognition, and treatment of shock. The physiology of shock as well as treatment will be discussed. Dr. Eschelbach will bring firsthand experiences of dealing with the “shock” patient in the rural setting. This track is appropriate for all levels of providers from EMR to Paramedic. Dr. Matthew Eschelbach has been involved in EMS for greater than 20 years. He is the medical director for many central Oregon agencies as well as being involved in EMS education. He has served as the medical

director of the EMS conference and is dedicated to the advancement of EMS in the State of Oregon. Matt was the recipient of the 2001” Facility Medical Director of the Year” awarded by Northwest Emergency Physicians and in 2003 he was named the” Oregon EMS Medical Director of the Year”. Along with being the medical director for the emergency department at St Charles Medical Center in Redmond, Oregon, he is also the current Chair of the EMT Advisory Committee of the Oregon Medical Board and continues to strive for excellence in all things EMS.

Critical Care Transports-- What is a critical care patient? “Do you know what you don’t know?Presenter: Dr. Ameen Ramzy0920 - 1030

What is Critical Care? What is Critical Care Transport and is it any different from other ALS patients? What training currently exists and does it make any difference?

EMS Challenges - The Obese PatientPresenter: Dr. Matt Eschelbach1055 - 1205

Obesity may be one of our most challenging medical problems as it relates to public health. But what of the more immediate challenges to EMS in our everyday practice? Starting IVs, intubating patients, even transportation may become a near impossible task when it comes to the morbidly obese patient. Are there solutions? How do we handle the treatment of obese patients and what are the challenges and solutions in dealing with them? Come learn about changes in physiology, pharmacology, and treatment protocols when dealing with the obese patient.See Bio on this page.

CULTURE OF SAFETYPresenter: Art Hsieh1055 - 1205

From the start, EMS providers have been drilled in “safety first” as a near mantra. Yet the studies show that as an industry we are far from being safety conscious. To move toward a culture of safety requires diligence, dedication and determination from

Sports Concussions: More Than a Sprained BrainPresenter: Dr. Jim Chesnutt1055 - 1205 (repeats at 1435)

Many athletes try to play through a concussion or return too soon before being fully recovered. We need to recognize and treat concussions much better than a sprained ankle. Sports Concussions are more than a Sprained Brain! Concussions seem to be occurring more frequently and causing more serious side effects than ever before. But not everyone knows how to recognize or optimally treat a concussion, not even much of the medical community. Most people will recognize a sprained ankle and know to rest the sprained ankle long enough for pain and swelling to improve and then slowly transition back to play to allow for improved function and to prevent risk of re-injury. Dr. Chesnutt will share with the pre-hospital provider a solid understanding of the range of severity in the injured athlete. Dr. Jim Chesnutt , is the medical director of the OHSU Sports Medicine Program and Co-Director of the Oregon Concussion Awareness

and Management Program. OHSU Sports Medicine has the most comprehensive concussion management and rehabilitation program in the state, serving local schools and universities and the community through direct patient care, research, athletic training programs in schools and medical professional and community education. Dr Chesnutt’s Sports Concussion lecture will address new strategies to identify and treat concussions and help students return to academics and sports using ImPact or Cogstate testing and other scientific advances and rehabilitation strategies.

Telling Difficult NewsPresenter: Dr. Ameen Ramzy1315 - 1425

Every EMS provider deals with difficult news on a regular basis, with little formal training on Telling Difficult News. This session will help to define difficult news as well as the settings in which it occurs. Dr. Ramzy will describe an approach to Telling Difficult News that has evolved over many years in his practice of trauma surgery. See bio on page 16.

Every Breath You Take: Differentiating Respiratory Distress in the Pre-Hospital SettingPresenter: Art Hsieh1315 - 1425

This is a fast-paced presentation that integrates pathophysiology of the respiratory and other body systems, with the common complaint of shortness of breath. Tips and pearls of knowledge for a better assessment of the patient in respiratory distress will help even the experienced field provider.

See bio on this page.

What’s Up With All This Community Paramedicine Stuff?Presenter: Dr. Ritu Sahni1315 - 1425

There has been a lot of talk about the term “Community Paramedic.” What does this really mean? Is it the same as the Advanced Practice Paramedic? We will discuss the various models of Community Paramedicine that have been implemented and proposed as well as discuss the factors that have led to the sudden explosion in interest in this model of EMS.Dr. Sahni is currently an Emergency Physician at Portland Providence Hospital and Medical Director of the Lake Oswego Fire Department. He is President-Elect of the National Association of EMS Physicians and on the Board of Directors of the National Registry of EMTs. He has previously been Oregon EMS/Trauma Medical Director as well as Medical Director of Lifeflight Network.
