This workshop will provide the participant intensive, hands-on experience with multiple rescue and advanced airway devices. Included will be fiberoptic devices (rigid and flexible), laryngeal mask airways, tracheal-esophageal tubes, light wands, and surgical techniques including cricothyrotomy, needle cricothyrostomy, and retrograde intubation. This workshop will help you decide where to spend your money as you build a difficult airway cart, and just might help you pull your next "cannot intubate/cannot ventilate" patient out of the fire!

In everyday busy ED practice most of us must act on X-rays with only our own interpretations to depend on....the "formal" read comes much later; often with 20/20 hindsight. Missing important but subtle X-ray findings can have disasterous consequences. This small-group interactive session will arm even the most experienced practitioner with a new level or radiographic expertise. Learn an approach to reading plain films that will help you avoid the dreaded "Do you remember that patient you saw the other day....?"

After a brief update on the latest PALS guidelines you'll practice the most common pediatric procedures using state-of-the-art mannequins. These will include: pediatric intubations, LMAs, jet ventilation, cricothyrotomy, and fiberoptic intubations. You'll learn how to place umbilical catheters, how to get that difficult lumbar puncture, and also become an expert in placing intraosseous lines. Hands-on practice with newer IO technologies such as the EZ-IO drill or the Bone Injection Gun is included. The unexpected is the norm at our resusitation stations: PSVT, pneumothorax, seizures, and more. Workshop Directors: Bernard Dannenberg, MD, Sunday, September 7, 2008 $75 |
