Modern Fire Tactics for Mid-Size Fire Departments
•
4 likes•1,667 views
Every firefighter has heard about the “new fire science” but until now most programs have either been focused more on the numbers and the science than on the tactics and operations or they present everything in bits and pieces, addressing one aspect or another, not quite giving the big picture. This program uses a straight forward approach to show how officers, Chiefs and firefighters in mid-size departments can use new information to give more options, not less. Honoring the traditions that keep our fire service great, this program shows how to use modern fire tactics to be an effective, aggressive department, even if you can’t expect 8 engines, 4 truck companies and a rescue at every fire.

EMS and Extrication: Coordinating Critical Care
Good vehicle extrication demands a unique collaboration between rescue and emergency medical personnel. Incorporating key victim assessment information in the extrication size-up will improve your strategic and tactical plans. To save a patient (not just chop up a vehicle) rescue and EMS must understand each other’s’ jobs and work together effectively. This program uses a real-world approach to incorporate EMS care considerations in the extrication strategy and shows how most critical trauma encountered in vehicle collisions can be managed quickly and effectively by first re-sponders. This program will help you make better strategic extrication decisions and more safely deliver immediate life-saving treatment, reducing time from patient contact to patient removal to pa-tient surgery.

The Steps to Succession Planning Emergency Services
Identifying and preparing the next generation of leaders for your department is a critical responsi-bility. What will happen to all of the hard work you’ve put into your organization when it comes time for you to leave? Who will take your organization to the next level? Will they be ready to face the challenges that await them? Will they know how? Training your replacement takes work. Mak-ing a plan, finding a candidate, helping them develop, and handing off the reins isn’t just a good strategy; it is the only choice for your organization to survive. It can take time, money, and work and may seem counterintuitive to train people for a job they aren’t currently doing, but the “Train Your Replacement” mindset, and the four steps it requires, will help your organization get ready for the next set of challenges. This intensively participative workshop helps attendees evaluate their organization and themselves with the goal of “deepening the bench” of future emergency services leaders.
Teaching Formats:
-Lecture
-Question and Answer
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this program students will be able to:
- Utilize the “first steps-next steps-step up-step out” format of successful succession planning.
- Ask the key questions necessary to frame a succession plan or program.
- Outline the job requirements as they exist now and as they may exist 5 to 15 years into the leader-ship development process.
- Apply NFPA 1020 or NEMSMA 7 Pillars to leadership development in their organization.
- Link job performance requirements to knowledge, skills, and attitude requirements for positions that will need to be filled.
Duckworth Designer Drugs.pptx
Title: Designer Drug Evolution: Managing Uncontrolled Patients On Controlled Substances
Description: Emergency services are confronted by horrific events caused by a surge in the use of new types of designer drugs. In this program we'll use real world case studies to discuss the up-surge in mephedrone based drugs (“bath salts” and more), synthetic marijuana, salvia divinorum, datura weed, molly and more; what these drugs are, where they've come from, and what form they may take in the future. We'll also discuss what regulators and law enforcement are doing to stop them, and what field providers can do to manage the fallout from this new wave of designer drugs.

Innovations in Stroke Care FB2023.pptx
To think of stroke as a life or death situation is to over-simplify. The concept of “Time Is Brain” doesn’t refer to inanimate neurons that die as a stroke progresses. Each moment of delay in stroke care can destroy not only a patient’s ability to perform activities to get through the day can also lose cells that contain personality and memories. Even patients who survive may lose part of their life. As hospitals are developing new methods of treatment for stroke victims, what role is there for EMS? This program will examine new in-hospital treatments like site-specific thrombolytics, clot corkscrews, cranial hypothermia, and the critical role of EMS in each phase of Stroke Systems of Care. These systems rely on both ALS and BLS providers to not simply save patients’ lives. This lively, pertinent, and through-provoking lecture shows how the actions of EMS providers are critical to every step of saving stroke patients’ life’s.

What they didn't tell you about Anaphylaxis 2023.pptx
What’s the difference between anaphylactic and anaphylactoid, and should I care? Can a patient have a life-threatening reaction on a first exposure? What are the most important ALS medications for anaphylaxis after epinephrine? How bad is it to give epinephrine for a panic attack? What the heck is Kounis syndrome? Why didn't they teach me this in class? The past ten years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of cases of anaphylaxis across the United States. In response, the American College of Emergency Physicians and the World Allergy Organization have issued im-portant updates on initial emergency treatment for patients suffering from anaphylaxis. While epi-nephrine remains the front-line drug for all levels of care, recent studies show that in-hospital and pre-hospital providers alike aren’t giving it as often or as early as they should. This interactive case-study and pub-quiz style presentation answers these questions and many more with a focus on a rapid differential of anaphylaxis and effective initial and secondary treatments to manage these immediately life-threatening emergencies.
Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.pptx
Regular medical and recreational use of cannabis is on the rise among all age groups. In most cases, this is associated with few side effects, but some regular users experience a wildly paradoxical reaction. While cannabis will normally suppress nausea and pain and stimulate appetite, weekly cannabis use can sometimes produce severe cramping, abdominal pain, vomiting, and nausea, known as cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS). In this program, we explore the pathophysiology of CHS, discuss presentations that EMS may encounter, and review the current diagnostic and treatment criteria. Current estimates of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome affecting potentially 2.7 million people in the US annually, with significant increases in states with legalization. With complica-tions of CHS including kidney failure, electrolyte imbalance and skin burns on patient seeking self-treatment, can EMS providers afford to be unprepared?
Teaching Formats:
-Lecture
-Discussion
-Case Studies
-Question and Answer
Learning Objectives: Students will be able to:
- Appreciate the acute and chronic hazards presented by cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome
- Describe the three phases of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome
- Identify prehospital presentation signs and symptoms of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome with a focus on differential diagnosis
- Debate current theories of the pathogenesis of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome
- Describe immediate EMS as well as long-term treatment for cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome
Catch Them and Keep Them: Recruiting and retaining top employees and volunteers
Work in any organization, large or small, paid or volunteer, involves transactions of value where the member gets value from the organization and gives value back. Volunteer and employment ex-changes have traditionally focused on the perspective of the organization and what they could get from members. Today, leaders must flip that perspective and consider what the member is looking to gain rather than just what the organization is willing to give to the employee or volunteer. Getting this "employee value proposition" right can help organizations attract high-quality candidates, engage current members to boost performance, and improve the customer experience and business operations. With quality EMS candidates and providers at a premium, organizations that can provide good employee value propositions will thrive, and those that do not will fail to survive.
The Top 10 Resuscitation Headlines and Controversies: And How To Read Past Th...
We’ve all heard controversies about cardiac resuscitation. “Use the right medications.”, “Medications don’t matter.”, “Airway first!”, “Don’t worry about the airway!” It is confusing for EMS professionals to sort out exactly what they’re supposed to do. Taking a look at the Top Ten Headlines for cardiac resuscitation, this program evaluates the strength of the science behind each recommendation as well as how they might be implemented in different EMS systems. Getting past the “Headlines,” attendees will return home well-equipped to open up discussions about optimizing EMS cardiac arrest resuscitation in their systems beyond “I read this study once” or “This is what the algorithms say now.”
The Top 10 Trauma Myths and Legends: Seeking the science beyond the textbooks
We’ve all heard the legends of trauma care. “ABCs vs. CABs!”, “Mechanism of Injury Matters!”, “Never remove a dressing!”, “Hyperventilate that head injury!” But what happens when what you were taught no longer matches what science says? Taking a look at the Top Ten Trauma Myths and Legends, this program evaluates the strength of the science behind each recommendation as well as how they might be implemented in different EMS systems. Getting past “we’ve always done it this way,” attendees will return home well-equipped to open up discussions about trauma care in their systems beyond, “This is what I was taught in class.” and “I read this study once.”
Good Enough is NOT Good Enough
Vince Lombardi said, “The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence.” In our work, the quality of the lives of others is also in direct proportion to our commitment to excellence. So, if we have all agreed to work in the service of others in their time of need, why do some people in emergency services only go as far as “good enough”? How do people slide from doing what’s right to doing what’s “good enough,” and how do we reconnect them to a commitment to excellence? Inspiring and informative, Rom Duckworth shows how easy it can be for organizations and individuals to stray from the path of excellence and reminds us of the importance of what we do and why, in our unique profession, good enough is simply not good enough.

EMS Management of Traumatic Cardiac Arrest
Prehospital traumatic cardiac arrest is relatively rare and highly complex event that will challenge even the most skilled providers and resuscitation teams. This is further complicated by a shortfall of clear consensus guidelines to help EMS providers rapidly identify, assess, prioritize and care for underlying life-threats as they simultaneously work to resuscitate the patient. What is the best bal-ance between simple algorithms that focus on core priorities versus critical think-ing recommendations that address issues more specifically? This session looks at the latest research and guidelines from key organizations such as the National Association of EMS Physicians, American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma, and the American Heart Association as well as similar organizations from around the world to help us make the best decisions and take rapid action to give our patients the best hope of survival.

It's Not Always Sepsis
Sepsis is an emergent medical condition that kills more people annually than prostate cancer, breast cancer, and AIDS combined. For every two heart attack patients cared for by EMS, five patients are hospitalized by sepsis. EMS transports 60% of patients with severe sepsis arriving at the ED and yet EMS providers are often unaware of its presence or what they should do if they find it. This presentation discusses new sepsis criteria along with expert commentary as to how they can be applied in the field. This program includes real-world, practical methods for EMS identification, assessment and field treatment of life-threatening sepsis and looks at the current state of sepsis critical care as well as what we can anticipate in the coming months and years.
Pediatric Septic Shock for EMS: Rom Duckworth
This document provides information on pediatric sepsis for first responders. It begins with introducing the speaker and their experience with EMS and sepsis. It then discusses the challenges of recognizing sepsis in pediatric patients and the impact EMS can have by recognizing it early and transporting patients quickly. The rest of the document covers assessment of pediatric patients for sepsis, treatment guidelines including fluid resuscitation and pressors, and discusses some screening tools and criteria for identifying sepsis. It emphasizes the ABCs (airway, breathing, circulation) approach and following treatment algorithms.
The Top 10 Resuscitation Headlines and Controversies: And How To Read Past Th...
We’ve all heard the controversies for cardiac resuscitation. “Use the right medications.”, “Medications don’t matter.”, “Airway first!”, “Don’t worry about the airway!” It is confus-ing for EMS professionals to sort out exactly what they’re supposed to do. Taking a look at the Top Ten Headlines for cardiac resuscitation this program evaluates the strength of the science behind each recommendation as well as how they might be implemented in dif-ferent EMS systems. Getting past the “Headlines”, attendees will return home well-equipped to open up discussions about optimizing EMS cardiac arrest resuscitation in their systems beyond “I read this study once” or “This is what the algorithms say now.”

Putting hands on teamwork back in your classroom ss
As a profession, emergency services is nearly unique in it’s demands for providers to be able to act as both coordinated team members and independent operators. Critical concepts such as group dynamics, teambuilding, leadership, followership, and interpersonal communications can be difficult to introduce in cognitive and affective domains, let alone practice as psychomotor skills. While there are plenty of “Get out of your seat” activities out there, many of them entertain and fill time, but few focus on teaching and evaluating team-based competencies. Featuring fifteen exercises that you can bring back to your EMS classroom today this program will help you help your students work together better both in the classroom and on the street.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
