Upcoming Presentations
Little Bodies, Big Emergencies: Pediatric Shock Recognition
Presented by Dr. Bill R. Young NRP, Ed. D., CP-C
February 18, 6:30 - 8:30 PM
The early recognition of shock in pediatric patients is not just important—it’s life-saving. Unlike adults, children often compensate incredibly well until they suddenly don’t. This means the early warning signs can be subtle, easy to miss, and very different from what we’re used to seeing in adult shock. A child in shock may look deceptively stable—playing, talking, even walking—while their body is already at the edge of collapse.
Airway Management Start to Finish
Presented by Christopher Galton; MD, NRP, FP-C, FASA

January 21, 6:30 - 8:30 PM
Dr. Galton will be taking you from the initial assessment of a patient's airway all the way through the nuances of which RSI induction medications fit which patient situations effectively. He will be weaving patient cases throughout the presentation that represent a variety of EMS interactions. We will be covering concepts that are relevant for first responders to subspecialty critical care transport clinicians and everyone in between. The real question: can he fit it all into a two hour block?
