System of Care Approach for Traumatic
Injuries and Acute Illnesses: A Statewide
Approach and How It Can Help in Response
to Disasters

Diagnosis and Treatment of LVO Strokes

CARL A. FLORES, NRP; JEFFREY E. CARTER, MD, FACS; JEFFREY M.
ELDER, MD, FAAEM, FAEMS
This will be a panel discussion surrounding a statewide system of care
approach. Discussions will surround what led the state to implement a
process and system, the need to gather and evaluate data in an effort to
help identify gaps in definitive care throughout the state. For example,
knowing we have a gap in a rural area of the state for definitive care and
services with Trauma, Cardiac Cath Labs, or Stroke Teams. The system
would then help to identify needs and work with the hospitals to train and
stand up services to fill gaps throughout the state. Additional discussion
surrounds EMS transport decisions and support through a destination
call center. This helps ease the process for medics in the field, as hospital
statuses are monitored by the call center. We will discuss how some urban
areas may not use this system on a daily basis but have incorporated the
system during disasters and mass casualty events to help distribute patients throughout the region or state. The final topic will be incorporating
a specialty such as Burn Care into an already established system and the
challenges associated with such
an implementation.
CRITICAL CARE

The Battle of the RSI Paralytics:
Depolarizing vs. Non-Depolarizing
WILLIAM HEUSER, PHARMD, MS, EMT-P
Paralytics are an extremely important, yet
potentially dangerous tool in the prehospital setting.
It is important that prehospital providers be
up-to-date and aware of the most current literature surrounding these
agents to successfully facilitate a safe and effective intubation. Is there a
" one-size fits all " when talking about the use of paralytics for rapid
sequence intubation (RSI)? Is there a " preferred " paralytic in specific
patient populations? What are the most important side effects and clinical
pearls that prehospital providers should be aware of? All of the
aforementioned questions and more are addressed with the most current
evidentiary support.
LEADERSHIP

Three Things COVID Changed
Forever for EMS
DAN SWAYZE, DRPH, MBA, MEMS
COVID forced the entire healthcare industry to radically transform patient
care. During this discussion, Dr. Swayze will describe his role from within a
healthcare insurance company during the pandemic and how the changes
COVID catalyzed will have a permanent impact on the role and
reimbursement for EMS.

Advanced Concepts in EtCO2 Monitoring
ANDREW LATIMER, MD
This session will discuss intermediate and advanced waveform capnography for prehospital providers. We will build a framework starting
with the science of waveform capnography and discuss how end-tidal
carbon dioxide (EtCO2) values can directly and indirectly relate to perfusion, metabolism, and ventilation. We will discuss the concept of the
" EtCO2 gap " and how this can inform ventilation targets. Throughout
this session we will highlight the lessons using real-world rapid sequence intubation and cardiac arrest patients treated by Seattle Medic
One mobile intensive care paramedics.

SALIM R. REZAIE, MD
This presentation will review the trials that led us to endovascular
therapy, issues with the trials, how to identify large vessel occlusion
strokes, and finally how to put it all together into one concise workflow.

Ed Con: How to Flip Your Con-Ed to Make It
More Enjoyable
CHRISTOPHER KROBOTH, MS, NR-P, FP-C
Is your continuing education program stagnant? How about online
click-through content? Join us for an interactive how-to course on
how to develop and deploy data-driven, scenario-based education
that is more engaging, relatable, and retainable for your crews, all
while maintaining cost-effective modeling. Develop CE geared to your
agency and providers and a platform for problem-solving and training
out issues. We will also discuss " scaffolding " the learning by assigning
precourse work (content exposure) to help with provider comfort,
confidence, and knowledge before sessions.

EMS Education 101: Skill Instruction
MICHAEL KADUCE, MPS, NRP
Skill instructors are the backbone of EMS education and serving as
one is a great opportunity for experienced EMS providers to share
their talents. Whether you are just getting into education or have been
teaching skill labs for years, applying the science of psychomotor
knowledge acquisition will lead to increased student success. This
session will discuss the principles of skill education and how to leave a
legacy with your students.
CRITICAL CARE

Hemodynamics Made Simple
ALLEN C. WOLFE, JR., MSN, CNS, APRN, CFRN, CCRN, CTRN, CMTE
Advanced hemodynamic monitoring is widely
used in critical care-but its impact across
emergency care can be profound. Advanced
hemodynamic monitoring (ie, assessment of preload, afterload,
cardiac output, and global systemic perfusion) could help establish
goals of resuscitation and oxygenation, which vary depending on
diagnosis and disease stage. This session will evaluate each component to
assist you in understanding the effects of what we do at bedside.

Hindsight is 20/40: Musings About the Past
and Future of EMS
DOUGLAS F. KUPAS, MD, EMT-P
Dr. Douglas Kupas has been an EMS field practitioner for 40 years and
a state EMS official for 20 years. In this presentation, he will reflect on
the last 40 years of EMS and provide predictions for the future. Over
the years, EMS has steadily advanced in patient and provider safety,
technology, and patient care. EMS providers are now vital healthcare
practitioners who are positioned to treat our patients as part of the
integrated healthcare system. The US is at a tipping point in EMS reimbursement. The presentation will discuss the future of telehealth by EMS,
treat-in-place, and mobile integrated healthcare. Dr. Kupas believes that
in the future, all EMS providers will play a role in mobile integrated healthcare and EMS systems will be integrated with health systems to keep
patients well at home. He also believes that EMS practitioners can provide
significant value in patient care and will be recognized and rewarded for
this on par with other healthcare professionals.
