Pre-Clinical Case Competition to Assess Confidence in Responding to Select Out-Of-Hospital Medical Emergencies

/

By the end of this activity, learners will be able to: 1) demonstrate the application of skills in real-life first responder scenarios, including suspected opioid overdose, cardiac arrest, and anaphylaxis; 2) apply knowledge of scene safety and the role of the first responder in various situations; and 3) assess the challenges while applying the skills necessary for collaborative work within a medical team.

Critical Care Transport: Blunt Polytrauma in Pregnancy

/

At the completion of this simulation participants will be able to 1) perform primary and secondary trauma surveys, 2) assess the neurovascular status of a tibia/fibula fracture, 3) appreciate anatomic and physiologic differences in pregnancy, 4) appropriately order analgesia and imaging, 5) recognize and treat hemorrhagic shock, 6) perform an extended focused assessment with sonography in trauma exam (eFAST) in undifferentiated hemorrhage, 7) identify a displaced pelvic fracture and properly apply a pelvic binder, and 8) obtain and interpret fetal heart rate using ultrasound.

Utilization of an Asynchronous Online Learning Module Followed by Simulated Scenario to Train Emergency Medicine Residents in Mass-Casualty Triage

/

The purpose of this session is to train EM residents in the use of the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) and pediatric JumpSTART algorithms for triage in mass casualty incidents (MCIs) using an asynchronous model. By the end of this small group session, learners will be able to: 1) describe START triage for adult MCI victims; 2) describe JumpSTART triage for pediatric MCI victims; 3) demonstrate the ability to apply the START and JumpSTART triage algorithms in a self-directed learning environment; 4) demonstrate the ability to apply the START and JumpSTART triage algorithms in a simulated mass casualty scenario under time constraints; and 5) demonstrate appropriate use of acute life-saving interventions as dictated by the START and JumpSTART triage algorithms in a high-pressure simulated environment.

E-FAST Ultrasound Training Curriculum for Prehospital Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Clinicians

/

By the end of these training activities, prehospital EMS learners will be able to demonstrate foundational ultrasound skills in scanning, interpretation, and artifact recognition by identifying pertinent organs and anatomically relevant structures for an E-FAST examination. Learners will differentiate between normal and pathologic E-FAST ultrasound images by identifying the presence of free fluid and lung sliding. Learners will also explain the clinical significance and application of detecting free fluid during an E-FAST scan.

Small-Scale High-Fidelity Simulation for Mass Casualty Incident Readiness

/

The learners will (1) recognize state of mass casualty exercise as evidenced by verbalization or triaging by START (Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment) criteria, (2) triage several patients, including critically ill or peri-arrest acuities, according to START criteria, (3) recognize the need to limit care based on available resources, as evidenced by verbal orders or communication of priorities to team, and (4) limit emergency resuscitation, given limited resources, by only providing treatments and employing diagnostics that do not deplete limited time, staffing, and space inappropriately.

Simulated Mass Casualty Incident Triage Exercise for Training Medical Personnel

/

By the end of this exercise, learners should be able to (1) recite the basic START patient categories (2) discuss the physical exam signs associated with each START category, (3) assign roles to medical providers in a mass casualty scenario, (4) accurately categorize patients into triage categories: green, yellow, red, and black, and (5) manage limited resources when demand exceeds availability.
