Oregon EMS Conference 2011

Excellence in Education

Greetings from the Oregon EMS Conference Committee

Welcome once again to the Oregon EMS Conference. We hope that everyone has had a wonderful year! Now that recertification for 2011 is done it is time to start preparing for 2013. We are very excited to bring you very dynamic speakers and a wonderful curricu-lum again this year.

We are welcoming back speakers Dr. Ed Racht and Bob Page. If you have not heard them speak, prepare yourself for an educational experience that is both en-riching 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.

We are also very excited to offer the cadaver lab again this year. Last year’s lab was a huge success. Remember to sign up early, this class fills up fast!

New to this year’s conference is a Post Conference BLS course. We are happy to bring this course to our basic providers and hope that by having it on Sunday morning we will be able to accommodate those of our ranks that cannot come mid week for a class.

The conference is at the Salem Conference Center again this year. They were wonderful hosts to us last year and we are looking forward to being there again this year. There once again will be a booth at registra-tion with information about the Salem area and things to do while you are in town.

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!

The New World of EMS and How to Survive ItPresenters: David GivotSponsored by the EMS Section of OFCA1300 - 1700

In this session, Paramedic turned Defense Attorney, David Givot, will show you how the world of EMS has been affected and effected by this ever-litigious, ever-shrinking universe. Using real-life laws, examples, and cases, we will discuss how social media, the Internet, and so-called “news” outlets have given blood-sucking Lawyers a whole new food source. More importantly, we will discuss the black-letter law that impacts EMS the most. He will share tricks and tips, tools and techniques for protecting yourself and your patients from being yanked into the hungry lawyer food-chain.David Givot, Esq., graduated from the UCLA Center for Prehospital Care (formerly DFH) in June 1989 and spent most of the next decade working as a Paramedic responding to 911 calls in Glendale, CA, with the (then BLS only) fire department. By the end of 1998, he was traveling around the country working with distressed EMS agencies teaching improved field provider performance through better communication and leadership practices. David then moved into the position of director of operations for the largest ambulance provider in Maryland. Now, back in Los Angeles, he is a practicing Defense Attorney still looking to the future of EMS.

It’s Not Funny AnymorePresenter: David GivotSponsored by the EMS Section of OFCA1055 - 1205

It’s not the 80’s or even 90’s anymore. What was hysterical back in the day does not fly in 2011. While this program will likely have everyone laughing, participants will leave with the tools necessary to survive in the “New World of EMS” and still manage to have fun. Together we will identify legal threats to the professionals’ reputation and personal assets of providers at all levels. We will take a closer look at the depth and breadth of a provider’s exposure to legal liability, examine the changes to the litigious climate of society, and develop an understanding of why the climate is changing, while learning how to stay safe doing the best job in the world!See bio page 6.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Issues in Spinal CarePresenter: Bob Page1055 - 1205

This session takes a closer look at our spinal immobilization practices and focuses on why we do it and what our goals really are. The presentation features many examples of frequently missed items when immobilizing the trauma patient. Many researchers and physicians are suggesting that we should not immobilize everyone with trauma. This talk also focuses on that issue and offers a critical look at alternative algorithms (including BTLS) or ways to “clinically clear” Cspines.See bio on page 5.

Fundamentals of EMS DocumentationPresenter: David GivotSponsored by the EMS Section of OFCA1315 - 1425

In this program, participants will develop an understanding of the myriad of legal (and perhaps ethical) exposures documentation presents to EMS professionals from day to day. Likewise, they will learn some very important, yet commonly overlooked, facts and details about what they “think” they already know. Finally, they will gain tools and develop approaches intended to improve documentation, mitigate their own legal exposures and benefit each patient at the same time.See bio on page 6.

The Magic of Managing Pain - the BLS ToolkitPresenter: Dr. Ed RachtSponsored by American Medical Response1435 - 1545

One of the most frequent complaints in emergency medicine is pain. It’s also one of the most complex symptoms for healthcare providers to sort through. Pain may be a result of something as simple as a neuropathy to something as deadly as an ischemic organ. On top of the diagnostic challenge, the assessment and management of pain varies significantly between healthcare providers and past experiences with pain. Add to this the limited diagnostic toolbox available in the field (no labs, no X-rays, etc.), we find ourselves faced with quite a dilemma. This presentation will discuss critical concepts of pain assessment with a powerful emphasis on BLS management that will dramatically improve our patient’s discomfort.Edward M. Racht, M.D. is the Chief Medical Officer of American Medical Response, the largest EMS provider in the nation. He has been involved in Emergency Medical Services and healthcare systems for over 20 years. He has served as the Chief Medical Officer and Vice President of Medical Affairs for Piedmont Newnan Hospital in Metro Atlanta, Medical Director for Austin/Travis County Emergency Medical Services System, Assistant Professor of Medicine and Associate Chief of the Medicine Section of Emergency Medical Services at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. He received his undergraduate and medical degree from Emory University in Atlanta and completed his residency at the Medical College of Virginia and is a Clinical Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University

of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. He has served as the Federal Medical Advisor for the recent NHTSA Educational Standards Project.

Dr. Schmidt comes with a background which includes being a paramedic herself. She has and does function in the prehospital setting as a current medical director, an accomplished emergency physician, researcher, and all around advocate for patients receiving the care they wish.

General SessionIn Search of the EMS SoulPresenter: David GivotSponsored by the EMS Section of OFCA1610 - 1720

EMS providers are not normal; we run toward what normal people run from; we joke about death and give hope to life; we survive on half-eaten meals and little or no sleep; we confront inhuman challenges with skill, compassion, and tenacity; and we almost never admit defeat. But sometimes we forget what we are doing and why, and for whom. Through the prism of law, this program will be a wake-up call to some and a battle cry to

others. When it is over, participants will understand why EMS providers are held to a higher standard than “regular people” and how perspective alters the appearance of conduct, behavior, and effectiveness. Newer providers will understand what it means to change the world and old-timers will understand the power of their guidance. Finally, participants will walk away sure about one of two things: either 1) they need to consider another profession or 2) they have EMS in their soul and the world is theirs for the changing.David Givot, Esq., graduated from the UCLA Center for Prehospital

A Whole Lot of Shaking Going On! Understanding SeizuresPresenter: Bob Page1315 - 1425

Ask most people and their definition of a seizure involves the “grand Mal” seizure with the person violently shaking all over. Is that all there is? Is this the only type of seizure? Does it make any difference in the pre-hospital setting what I saw? What is the correct classification of seizures? This course will show, via videotape, the various types of seizures, discuss their etiology and proper classification, and describe the various management issues for today’s EMS personnel. Exciting AV support and real life case studies makes this a don’t miss session!Bob Page is an internationally known speaker, instructor, author and paramedic. He has presented seminars across the United States, Canada and in the United Kingdom. He is recognized for his energetic, humorous and motivational style.

General SessionIndifferent IgnorancePresenter: Bob Page0800 - 0910

“Everybody is Ignorant, until Proven Stupid” Old Ozarks proverb…Now ignorance is not a bad word it simply means you don’t know or never heard of that before. Some people use that as an excuse to remain “where they are.” When you stop learning, ignorance indifference sets in. You don’t know and you don’t care. This is dangerous in the health care field. New treatment and techniques pop up all the time. People resist change to new things because they simply don’t know the whole story. Come join Bob Page, a passionate educator with a track record of leading organizational and personal change in many areas and in some cases, states from education based initiatives. See how this was accomplished and renew your spirit and find out how to be an agent of change.

ABCs for the BLS ProvidersPresenter: Dr. Ritu Sahni

0920 - 1030

The majority of medical responses are dealt with at a BLS level including pediatric patients. This presentation will look into how the BLS provider assesses and treats these patients and how your initial assessment can affect the outcome of these patients. Dr. Sahni’ s presentation is sure to keep students engaged and asking questions.Dr. Ritu Sahni is the current Medical Director of the Oregon EMS/Trauma Program and Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at Oregon Health & Sciences University.

The Magic of Managing Pain - the BLS ToolkitPresenter: Dr. Ed RachtSponsored by American Medical Response1055 - 1205

One of the most frequent complaints in emergency medicine is pain. It’s also one of the most complex symptoms for healthcare providers to sort through. Pain may be a result of something as simple as a neuropathy to something as deadly as an ischemic organ. On top of the diagnostic challenge, the assessment and management of pain varies significantly between healthcare providers and past experiences with pain. Add to this the limited diagnostic toolbox available in the field (no labs, no X-rays, etc.), we find ourselves faced with quite a dilemma. This presentation will discuss critical concepts of pain assessment with a powerful emphasis on BLS management that will dramatically improve our patient’s discomfort.See bio on page 12.

CHEMPACK Awareness Part IIPresenter: Michael Heffner, Captain1055 - 1205 (Part I at 0920)

Part 2 will cover initial response actions to organophosphates and chemical nerve agents; recognition of the need to dispatch additional resources and make appropriate notifications; awareness of medical care priorities and antidotes for exposures to organophosphates and chemical nerve agents; practical application performing the use of antidote auto-injectors on manikins; orientation to the CDC CHEMPACK program, container locations, and stockpile configurations.See bio page 16.

War Times Advances in Trauma CarePresenter: Dr. Martin Schreiber1055 - 1205 (repeats at 1435)

War time has many consequences the least of which has been advances in the treatment of trauma patients. This session will give both a historic and current look at the treatment trauma patients receive. Advances in trauma treatment are driven primarily by outcomes and data. Dr. Martin Schreiber has himself spent time in the war zones and has been actively involved in the treament of trauma patients in these war zones. This will give examples of the advances we have made in trauma care and how those advances have changed the

care we are able to provide in the civilian environment.Dr. Schreiber is the Chief of Trauma, Critical Care and Acute Care Surgery at Oregon Health & Science University. He is also a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army Reserve and he was deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom giving him a unique view of trauma resuscitation. His research interests include resuscitation, hemorrhage control and novel blood products.

General SessionWhat Does EMS Spell Now?Presenter: Dr. Ed RachtSponsored by American Medical Response1610 - 1720

Much is changing in the ever-evolving World of EMS. The science continues to evolve and more evidence-based approaches are finding their way into the field practice of medicine (think Guidelines 2010, CPAP and more…). Healthcare SYSTEMS are now starting to understand the importance of a collaborative approach to patient care (think STEMI, Stroke, Trauma and Pediatrics). On top of all that, “Healthcare reform is gearing up and bouncing around in the political arena (with a great potential opportunity for EMS to play a whole new role…)”. EMS hasn’t seen this magnitude of change and potential opportunity since its inception in the 70s. So… What does EMS spell now?See bio page 12.
