Hot Controversies in Traumatic Cardiac Arrest: What Do The Experts Say?
Presented by Rommie Duckworth
Wednesday, September 17, 6:30 - 8:30 PM
Prehospital traumatic cardiac arrest is a complex event that requires skilled providers and resuscitation teams to quickly identify, assess, prioritize, and care for underlying life threats. The session explores the balance between simple algorithms and critical thinking recommendations from organizations like the National Association of
EMS Physicians, American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma, and American Heart Association. These guidelines aim to help make the best decisions and take rapid action for patients' survival.

Grandma's Got A Pharmacy: Polypharmacy and the Elderly
Presented by Chris Ebright
Wednesday, October 15, 6:30 - 8:30 PM

Older adults often carry more than wisdom-they carry a list of medications that can rival a pharmacy shelf. This session focuses on understanding the impact of multiple medications on assessment, treatment decisions, and transport considerations in geriatric patients. It provides practical tips, red flags to watch for, and a better understanding of how to be both detective and caregiver in the field. EMS is the first line of defense when pill bottles pile up.
