It will review the procedures, indications and contraindications for IO access in three of the most common locations.

Paramedic - Pediatric Potpourri KIRK and MARGARET MITTELMAN Few calls cause great anxiety than caring for a sick or injured child. Pre-hospital care providers must be prepared for the challenges of a pediatric emergency. Prompt recognition and treatment of potentially life-threatening diseases or injuries may have a significant impact on the outcome of the patient. Kirk and Margaret will provide participants with information to assess and treat a variety of pediatric patients.

Triage NEVADA GOLD MINES MINE RESCUE

If It Sounds Like A Duck (Improving What We Do and How We Do It As Instructors) ROB ELLIOTT and JERRY YEAGER Is a picture worth a thousand words? Absolutely! Your student’s mental record of experiences begins in your classroom. Incidents present CUES that when recognized by your students will elicit a response that has been captured or played out in their training experiences.

Key to this process is the ability to recognize a situation and its CUES. This type of decision-making is called Recognition Primed Decision Making or RPDM. RPMD has serves us well…..IF IT Sounds Like a Duck, it most likely is a duck! Training, ride alongs, hospital time, and hands-on help to imprint mental experiences in your students of EMS.

End Tidal and 12-Lead Training RICK HOWARD and BRANDON HOWARD Paramedics, this is a great one! This class is the best pre-hospital 12- lead training around! By the time participants are done, they can read some of the most dangerous 12-leads they will come in contact with during their careers. As a bonus, participants will learn to be able to understand and utilize End Tidal Readings.
