Management of Cardiac Arrest in Equipment-laden Public Safety Professionals

Course CE Available

The gear designed to protect police officers and firefighters is the same equipment that can hinder cardiac arrest interventions. This presentation explores the challenges and considerations of managing cardiac arrest in public safety professionals wearing heavy gear. It will provide an overview of key strategies for performing resuscitation, including modified CPR techniques, AED use, mechanical CPR, and the importance of quick extrication and transport. Additionally, this session will highlight the crucial role of teamwork, coordination, and training for effective response. Case studies will showcase real-world applications and best practices for managing cardiac arrest that are vital for first responders, medical personnel, and those training law enforcement or tactical teams.

Moving the needle: Advances in prehospital trauma resuscitation

Course CE Available

This talk will examine the concept of the “golden hour” for definitive trauma care and how our approach to resuscitation is evolving, with emphasis on delivering more advanced care in the prehospital environment before it’s too late. We will review several strategies, including Tranexamic Acid (TXA) administration, blood product resuscitation, junctional tourniquet application, and Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA).

Trauma: The Pediatric Time Critical Diagnosis

Course CE Available

This lecture will cover the unique aspects of pediatric trauma, from epidemiology and physiology that separate pediatric and adult trauma. Learn how the anatomy of a child informs the injury pattern and why mechanism matters. Learn what is meant by "falling off the cliff" when talking about pediatric shock and how to avoid it. After attending this lecture, you will be able to confidently manage the next pediatric trauma patient from prehospital to the emergency department. Objectives: 1. Review the current landscape of pediatric trauma 2. Discuss physiologic differences between adults and children 3. Review how the mechanism informs the management 4. Evaluate how to approach a pediatric trauma patient 5. Review management pearls and pitfalls 6. Identify where we are headed in the management of pediatric traumatic injury
