Velocity EU 2013 What is the velocity of an unladen swallow?

pdyball

Seatwave was growing fast, success was unabated, and industry awards were landing on their doormat. Infrastructure had been revamped, load patterns were understood. Everything was going just great… Until… The marketing team planned Seatwave’s first UK TV campaign – all regions – simultaneously, but only told the engineering team the day before the first advert was due to run! 10 seconds into the advert the site melted and there was a collective thud as heads hit desks. It was expensive lesson to learn but also the wake up call that forced everyone in Seatwave to focus on the performance of their site. In this session we’ll share that pain we experienced, and how we improved performance so that when all our competitors crashed during the UKs largest concert ticket sale, we were able to take 20 days revenue in just 2 hours! However, maintaining performance is a challenge, product owners want new features, the site starts to put on weight and slowly performance starts to degrade once more. Will it take another disaster to focus everyone on performance or is there another way to avoid “boom and bust”? We’ll talk about the steps we’re taking to avoid “boom and bust” by making both performance and the impact performance has on our customers visible to everyone across Seatwave including: Our Adobe Site Catalyst installation with a custom implementation of the W3C Navigation Timing API allowing us to segment our business KPI’s by speed. How we’re using a WebPageTest within continuous integration for our QA and production builds. How we constantly review our performance against competitors using our own installation of the HTTPArchive. Join us on our quest in search of the Holy Grail of truly understanding how web site performance affects our business, and the processes and systems we are putting in place to ensure we keep speed at the heart of our product development roadmap.

Board to Death: Improving Prehospital Spinal Stabilization

Rommie Duckworth

Spinal injuries cause an estimated 6,000 deaths and 5,000 new cases of quadriplegia each year. It’s no wonder that EMS providers have been taught, “Better to board them all than miss a single injury.” But universal spinal immobilization has its own costs and risks, and there are better options. Should we be “boarding” everyone, no one, or somewhere in between? What is “safe” and what are the liabilities? This program examines EMS field care of traumatic c-spine injuries evaluating different selective spinal stabilization protocols, pros and cons of common spinal stabilization tools and techniques and methods for providers of any level to help their system adopt and implement these best practices.

EMS and Extrication: Coordinating Critical Care

Rommie Duckworth

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.

Debriefing for Real World Learning I.pptx

Rommie Duckworth

While the popular myth is that everyone learns from experience, we all know people who can pass through experience without ever learning a thing. We now know that real learning comes from ef-fective reflection on real-life and simulated experiences. This session will provide you with the tools to use for effective reflection and enhanced learning from any situation. These include the learning models that lead to successful debriefing as well as the modified Plus Delta debrief format. These tools are crucial for any emergency services leader, educator, or provider for continuous per-formance improvement. www.romduck.com

The Steps to Succession Planning Emergency Services

Rommie Duckworth

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

Rommie Duckworth

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. Teaching Formats: -Lecture -Discussion -Case Studies -Question and Answer Learning Objectives: Students will be able to: - Identify, assess and manage designer drug abusers in acute crises and overdose situations. - Coordinate response and scene management across emergency services for designer drug emergencies. - Provide both basic and advanced emergency medical care for designer drug abuse and ex-cited delirium. - Understand past, present and future development of designer drugs presented through his-torical and contemporary case studies.

Innovations in Stroke Care FB2023.pptx

Rommie Duckworth

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. www.ROMDUCK.com

What they didn't tell you about Anaphylaxis 2023.pptx

Rommie Duckworth

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

Rommie Duckworth

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

Rommie Duckworth

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...

Rommie Duckworth

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

Rommie Duckworth

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

Rommie Duckworth

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. www.RomDuck.com

EMS Management of Traumatic Cardiac Arrest

Rommie Duckworth

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

Rommie Duckworth

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

Rommie Duckworth

In the United States each year approximately 75,00 children develop severe sepsis, ap-proximately 6,800 of whom will die. Many of these cases may include missed or delayed diagnosis. As an EMS provider you play a decisive role in the identification and early treatment of these critically ill children. This program will show EMS providers how to identify, assess, and begin treatment for pediatric patients with sepsis as well as how to coordinate care with emergency department and critical care staff. This program is in-tended for both advanced and basic providers whether working or not your EMS system currently has formal sepsis alert protocols. Learn the latest updates and take home the knowledge of how you can make the biggest difference for our littlest patients. For more information go to www.RomDuck.com

Putting hands on teamwork back in your classroom ss

Rommie Duckworth

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.

Physiology of Chemical Sensation of smell.pdf

MedicoseAcademics

Title: Sense of Smell Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology Qualifications: MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore) FCPS Physiology ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU) MPH (GC University, Faisalabad) MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan) Learning Objectives: Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness. Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction. Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain. Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential. Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes. Key Topics: Olfactory Genes: 3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes. 400 genes for odorant receptors. Olfactory Membrane: Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity. Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum. Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate. Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters. Olfactory Mucosa: Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell. Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment. Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months. Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus. Stimulation of Olfactory Cells: Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia. Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve. Quality of a Good Odorant: Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble. Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus. Membrane Potential and Action Potential: Resting membrane potential: -55mV. Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength. Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell: Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation. Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system. Primary Sensations of Smell: Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid. Odor Detection Threshold: Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm). Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations. Characteristics of Smell: Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein. Behavioral and emotional influences of smell. Transmission of Olfactory Signals: From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition. Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
