OK, You Got the Patient Back. Now What?
Anyone who resuscitates a cardiac arrest patient feels elated, but the job
is not done. How do we support the patient and minimize the risk of long
term brain injury? This lecture will focus on this question. The participant
will understand the general approach to resuscitated patients.

the Various Causes of Seizures
While epilepsy may be a common causative factor for seizures in the
prehospital setting, many other pathophysiologies can cause seizures. This
interactive, cased-based presentation will challenge EMS providers to
analyze different cases, find the root cause of patient's case and discuss
treatments that are beneficial. Come with your thinking caps on!

Should We Move It? Patient Assessment Complicated by Musculoskeletal
Injuries 
Musculoskeletal injuries are common. As an EMT-B, you will be called upon to
treat injuries to muscles and bones, which range from minor to life
threatening. Many musculoskeletal injuries can have a grotesque appearance.
In this session you will learn how to splint and work with these obvious
injures without being distracted from life-threatening conditions by a
deformed limb.

implications of these diseases on EMS providers and the patients? Review the
standard precautions needed when encountering patients with infectious
diseases. Learn the latest information on infectious diseases and better
equip yourself to provide exceptional patient care.

Distress 
This class will present prehospital assessment and care of the pediatric
patient experiencing various causes of respiratory distress and
hypoperfusion. Pediatric patients react and compensate quite differently
than adults to these conditions. Recognition and intervention by the
prehospital provider is critical to a positive patient outcome. Will review
treatment and pathophysiology.
