Joint Public Safety Response to the Active Shooter

Presented by renowned expert

Mike Clumpner PhD (POST Credit Pending) 8:00am to 5:30 pm Short Creek 1&2

MOKAN Resuscitation Academy 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Fall Creek

Lunch on your own Survival from out of hospital ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest varies significantly around the United

States. In fact, where you live can have an impact on whether you survive this type of cardiac arrest. If you

live in Detroit, Chicago, or even New York, your chance of survival is below 6%. However if you reside in

Seattle, it significantly increases to approximately 62%.

In an attempt to impact cardiac arrest survivability in Missouri and Kansas, the MOKAN Resuscitation Acad-

emy was formed to provide evidence based education and best practices in the management of cardiac ar-

rest to attendees. The MOKAN Resuscitation Academy is supported by the Mid-America Regional Council Emergency Rescue

Committee (MARCER) and the Resuscitation Academy located in Seattle, Washington.

This one day conference will involve lectures and a High Performance CPR practical portion that will for sure get your heart pumping. We will cover the Science of CPR and Post Arrest Emergency Care, Community Programs, and Cardiac Arrest Quality Improvement programs. Designed for those who can bring changes to their agencies/organizations.

Instructors:

Mike Wallace; Dr. J. Reich

$50

Hang on to your seat as Mike takes you through a jam-packed, fast-paced day. You will

definitely come away with new information.

This powerful lecture will discuss many facets of active shooter response including the

shooter history and the constant modification of active shooter attacks based on research

the shooter(s) conducted. Research of the active shooter “stopwatch of death” will be explored including predictors based on age, race academic history and social status.

The threat of radical extremists and international terrorist threats against our schools

will also be discussed and explored.

This class is designed for active public safety members, military law enforcement, intelli-

gence analysts, hospital administrators only and is definitely not available to the general

public.

A Funny Thing Happened on My Way Through the Jungle!

Jeff Solheim MSN, RN

Jeff Solheim has been Executive Director of a not-for-profit medical organization for 20 years allow-

ing him to travel with medical teams to some of the most desolate areas of the world. In this very vis-

ual and emotional presentation, Jeff takes participants on a trip around the world, sharing life-

lessons learned from nearly every corner of the earth.

Concurrent Sessions 10:00-11:15 a.m.

Location: Taneycomo A

101 ABG Interpretation for the ABG

Challenged

Jeff Solheim RN

Partially compensated

metabolic acidosis.

Uncompensated respiratory

alkalosis. Does this sometimes

seem like Greek to you. This

session will provide

participants with an overview

of the pathophysiology of

arterial blood glasses, as well as

a unique method for

interpreting blood gases.

Participants will also be able to

apply knowledge learned

through various case studies.

Location: Short Creek 1&2

102 Trauma and the Pregnant Patient

Dr. Scott Bjerke There is another baby boom happening all

around us. This boom differs in many

ways from the post World War Two baby

boom and more pregnant women are pre-

senting to emergency Departments and

Trauma Centers than ever before. For

many the thought of caring for a pregnant

Trauma Patient raises significant anxiety

because of the nature of two patients in

one. This lecture will discuss some of the

statistics around pregnant Trauma and

present a rational method of caring for

both patients without significantly stressing

out EMS and hospital personnel. Case

studies will be presented in addition to

physiologic and anatomic information about

the pregnant trauma patient that will make their

prehospital, hospital and post hospital care eas-

ier for healthcare workers at all levels.

Location: Short Creek 3&4

103 Who Needs the Emergency Dept Alternative destinations for patients

Dr. Brent Myers

Emergency Departments in the United

States serve not only as appropriate por-

tals to care for those with time-sensitive

conditions but also as an important safety

net for those with less acute condi-

tions. While much of the utilization of an

emergency department is appropriate,

there is an emerging body of evidence that

helps identify those patients who may

safely be treated without an intervention

in the emergency department. Come hear

how patients with a wide variety of clini-

cal conditions, from narcotic overdose to

falls in assisted living facilities may be

screened in the out-of-hospital environ-

ment and unnecessary transportation to

the emergency department may be

avoided.

Location: Taneycomo A Location: Short Creek 1&2 Location: Short Creek 3&4

201 Ethics in Practice, A Blurred Line

Between Right and

Wrong

Jeff Solheim RN

Emergency Nurses face ethical dilem-

mas almost every time they work.

Many times, these ethical dilemmas

are not even recognized and emer-

gency nurses are able to manage the

dilemma through past experience. At

other times, these dilemmas can create

challenges between members of the

health care team as well as challenges

between members of the health care

team and patients or their families.

This session will present numerous

case studies as a way to introduce ethi-

cal principles that should be used to

guide unique and challenging ethical

clinical situations.

202 Acute Fluid Resuscitation and

TXA

Dr. Scott Bjerke

Recommendations for Acute Fluid Resusci-

tation seem to change with each major

world conflict. Keeping up with the recom-

mendations of the year can be difficult and

frustrating. This lecture will discuss some

of the historical precedents of fluid resusci-

tation in both wartime and civilian practice

and the newest changes and standards be-

ing used today. Be prepared for some basic

physiology and anatomy as well as the sci-

entific reasons behind some of the newer

recommendations. Pre and In hospital use

of TXA will also be discussed with reasons

for use, the current experience in the US

and other countries and patient outcomes

based on recent large studies.

203 Show Me the Money—Healthcare

Financing and EMS in 2016—

Change is Coming

Dr. Brent Myers

Healthcare payment methodologies in the

United States are undergoing a period of

tremendous reform. From readmission

penalties to transitions of care to value

based purchasing — new terms and con-

cepts are being introduced or redefined on a

seemingly daily basis. What does all of this

mean for the frontline healthcare pro-

vider? What changes might one expect in

the next few months, next year, next dec-

ade? The good news is the major theme

has remained constant for over a dec-

ade: value-based purchasing will take

precedence over volume-based purchas-

ing. Come to this lecture to learn how the

ideal medical practices and EMS Systems

of the future will respond to this changing

financial landscape.

Concurrent Sessions 2:00-3:15 p.m.

Location: Taneycomo A Location: Short Creek 1&2 Location: Short Creek 3&4

301 Recognizing and Responding to

Child Abuse

Lori Beck RN

Physical signs of child abuse is usually

obvious. Cuts and bruises in various

stages of healing or opposite side inju-

ries are pretty easy to spot. Less ap-

parent are many other signs and

symptoms including developmental or

behavioral issues. Fatigue, changes in

eating habits, feeling of shame, guilt or

embarrassment can also signal abuse.

This presentation will discuss how to

recognize even subtle child abuse signs

and also the role of the pediatrician

and others involved in the care of the

child.

302 Elderly Falls, Is This Really a Level I

Trauma Patient?

Dr. Scott Bjerke Standing falls in the elderly is the newest epi-

demic in the United States. These injuries pre-

sented in the past as isolated broken wrists and

the occasional hip fracture and were usually

transported to local hospitals or to low level

trauma Centers in the United States. The num-

bers of elderly transported to level One Trauma

Centers is rapidly increasing and these systems,

used to dramatic trauma in young patients from

Motor Vehicle crashes and Penetrating Trauma,

are questioning the paradigm shift and the best

method to care for the new wave of elderly

trauma presenting to their doors. \Changes in

the population has changed the face of Trauma

Care and the benefits and problems with the new

reality.

303 Therapeutic Temperature Manage-

ment after Cardiac Arrest

Dr. Brent Myers

What is the best practice today for pa-

tients who are non-neurologically in-

tact after resuscitation from cardiac

arrest? Over the past decade, many

studies which appear to contradict

themselves have been published, lead-

ing to confusion and lack of standardi-

zation. Come to this informative and

entertaining lecture and we will sort

through the literature, critically review

key studies, and describe a rational

approach to treating this important

group of patients.

General Session: 8:15-9:30 a.m.

Special Agent David Cudmore

Terrorism/Weapons of Mass Destruction Update

Originally from Boston, Massachusetts and now assigned to the Missouri and Kansas region is FBI Special Agent (SA) David Cudmore

who will provide an update to the ever changing International Terrorism (IT), Domestic Terrorism (DT) and Weapons of Mass Destruc-

tion (WMD) threat landscape. He will cover global events and threats that could adversely impact local emergency responders and opera-

tions. Having done numerous national and international presentations, SA Cudmore’s presentation will go far beyond the simple weapons

of mass destruction issues with information that could be invaluable in saving our own lives as well as the lives of our patients.

Concurrent Sessions 9:50– a.m. -11:05 a.m.

Location: Taneycomo A Location: Short Creek 1&2 Location: Short Creek 3&4

401 Syrian Crisis and American

Youth

SA David Cudmore

Why Islamic extremists would let

American and foreign men/women

take up arms in Syria raises many

questions. It’s a huge step going from

living in American suburbia to taking

up arms against the Syrian govern-

ment. Beginning in March 2013, SA

Cudmore deployed on a three month

duty assignment to all four borders of

Syria involving WMD investiga-

tions. See the refugee pictures and

hear the story of the Syrian crisis first

hand.

403 Drones: Nightmare in the Air or

Cool Technology…What’s it Gonna

Be?

Tammy Chatman CMTE

Drones have exploded on the market

and were one of the top purchases for

Christmas gifts in 2015. It has become

a hot topic hobby. The drones also

bring great value to farmers, realtors,

fire management and numerous other

professions. But what happens when

an air ambulance needs to land and a

drone is taking pictures of the car

wreck? How can we communicate

with the drone operator? Come listen

to this and other real life challenges as

well as benefits of drones.

402 Dirty Dozen: Infection Control in

EMS

Janet Taylor RN

“Don’t touch that! It has germs on it! Did

you wash your hands?” We all heard

these words from our mothers as we were

growing up . Mom isn’t watching any-

more but there are dozens of bacteria

that affect us every day. Some are good

and some are bad. We know about MRSA

and C-Diff and antibiotic resistance bacte-

ria. Infection control is a hugely impor-

tant factor for hospitals. If we are going to

be good partners in health care, we need

to do our part. This session will raise your

level of awareness on ways to keep your-

self and your patient safe.

Concurrent Sessions: 11:15 a.m.—12:30 p.m.

Location: Taneycomo A Location: Short Creek 1&2

502 The Second Victim

Laura Hirschinger RN

Emergency medical services workers

deal with tragedies everyday. In order

to remain effective and professional

we push our emotions aside. The af-

termath of an unexpected patient

event can suddenly send us into a

‘Second Victim’ phenomena where

we may blame ourselves or suffer

other emotional trauma. The Second

Victim training is a holistic approach

to staff self-care that empowers them

to “take care of their own” and create

a more positive patient safety culture.

503 Wag the Dog….EKGs Your In-

structor Warned You About

Steve Harkness EMT-P

Steve will take you though an in-

teresting look at EKGs with

unique qualifiers that have big

impacts on our patients. Easily

identifiable, yet somehow obscure.

When you look at FLBs (Funny

Looking Beats) or scratching your

head these are some things to

think about.

Location: Short Creek 3&4

501. Pediatric Drowning

Dr. Peter Antevy

Death from pediatric drowning

remains a significant problem

world wide. Outcomes of non-

fatal drownings remain variable

and inconsistent. Join DR. Antevy

as he describes the drowning se-

quence and plays audio of

911calls and video of actual resus-

citations. Learn about the up to

date evidence regarding treat-

ment, including the latest on hy-

pothermia and ECMO.

602 Implement Your Own Second

Victim Plan

Laura Hirschinger RN

In the last session you learned

how he Second Victim training

is a holistic approach to staff

self-care that empowers them to

“take care of their own” and

create a more positive patient

safety culture. This session will

give you the tools to develop

and deploy your own clinical

support team so Care for the

Caregiver can be provided

within your organization.

603 Facebook is NOT Your Di-

ary! The How-to-Guide to the 3

P’s of Social Media: Professional-

ism, Privacy and Protection

Tammy Chatman CMTE

Organizations and employees

use social media to reach dif-

ferent audiences. It can be

used to be a positive ambassa-

dor but it can also cause

breeches in security and pri-

vacy. This session will review

ways to be professional and

avoid the pitfalls of online so-

cial media engagement

General Session: 3:00 - 4: 15 p.m. Taneycomo A

Dr. Jeff Coughenour Medical Director University of MO Trauma Center

Rural Trauma: What Make It Different

Dr. Coughenour will address rural trauma system development and function. While care of the injured patient in the

rural setting may not be all that different from our urban counterparts, assurance of quality, efficient care with

limited material and human resources can be challenging. This session will provide a template to developing an

optimal RURAL trauma system, with a special emphasis on performance improvement and research (yes, even in

your critical access hospital)! Those who respond to and transport trauma patients in the rural areas as well as

those in the trauma centers receiving these patients will all benefit from the information in this session.

lenge you with a case based

presentation using actual EMS

calls. Test your knowledge of

medications that can kill chil-

dren with just one dose.

Hardwired Systems of Thinking – The Root of Pediatric Errors Have you ever wondered why pediatrics causes so much anxiety for prehospital providers? Why is it that

even with years of experience pediatric resuscitation never seems to get any easier? It turns out that the an-

swer is based on scientific evidence that evaluates the brain’s function during stress. Join Dr. Antevy for an

Dan Leslie Attorney at Law

Patient assessments are done in an

organized repetitive way so we don’t

forget something. Is your documenta-

tion done the same way? Do you have

the right consent documentation and

other important points in every re-

port? This session will teach you what

is admissible in court regarding your

documentation and how each portion

integrates with other parts. Software

programs used for reporting cause

issues and may conflict with the court

process. You definitely need to take

heed of this presentation.

702 Battle of the Belts

Lori (Schwalm) Freeman RN, EMT

Teen seat belt use in Missouri is

only 67 %which is much lower

than the state average of 79% or

the national average of 86% seat

belt use. Missouri has 28 schools

with a seat belt usage rate of 50%

or less Teens from age 15-18 are

required to wear their seat belt —it

is a primary offense if they don’t.

So why is this basic safety feature

ignored and to what end? How

can we influence change?

Location: Short Creek 3&4
