PRECONFERENCE CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Thursday, October 3rd
8:00-5:00 PM Emergency Pediatric Care: Sponsored by the Oregon EMS Association
PART 1 0800-1200
This 16-hour course is for EMTs, paramedics, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and physicians. Upon successful completion of the course, students receive a certificate of completion, a wallet card recognizing them as EPC providers for 4 years, and 16 hours of CAPCE credit. This course is offered as a hybrid course where students take 8 hours of the course online, followed by 8 hours in the classroom.
Emergency Pediatric Care (EPC) remains the gold standard of education for emergency medical assessment and treatment. Endorsed by the National Association of EMS Physicians, AMLS emphasizes using the AMLS Assessment Pathway, a systematic tool for assessing and managing common medical conditions with urgent accuracy.
The Emergency Pediatric Care (EPC) course focuses on critical pediatric physiology, illnesses, injuries and interventions to help EMS practitioners provide the best treatment for sick and injured children in the field. The course stresses critical thinking skills to help practitioners make the best decisions for their young patients.
Topics covered include:
- The pathophysiology of the most common critical pediatric emergency issues, and critical thinking skills to help practitioners make the best decisions for their patients.
- Application of the Pediatric Assessment Triangle (PAT), a tool to help EMS practitioners rapidly and accurately assess pediatric patients.
- The importance of family-centered care.
- Understanding and communicating with children.
- Airway management, breathing and oxygenation.
- Cardiac emergencies.
- Recognizing child abuse and neglect.
- Hypoperfusion and shock.
- Newborn resuscitation.
EPC is appropriate for EMTs, paramedics, emergency medical responders, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and physicians. EPC is accredited by CAPCE and recognized by NREMT.
8:00-12:00 : PIG HEART / LUNG DISSECTION LAB: RICK HOWARD & SON (repeats in afternoon)
The pig heart/lung dissection class is a hands-on class that is designed to provide students with a deeper understanding of the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the heart and lungs, as well as the skills necessary to diagnose and treat common heart and lung conditions encountered in the field. The learning objectives for this class are:
1. Students will learn about the anatomy and physiology of the heart and lungs, including the structures and functions of each organ.
2. Students will learn how to diagnose and treat common heart and lung conditions encountered in the field as a paramedic, such as heart attacks, pulmonary embolisms, and pneumothorax.
3. Students will Identification and labeling of the different structures.
4. Students will learn about the pathophysiology of heart and lung diseases, including how they develop and progress, and how they can be treated or managed.
8:00-12:00 Part 1 STEMI (12-Lead ECG) Master Class Make the right call: Critical thinking for Improved cath lab activation
Think we have conquered STEMI and there’s not much room left for improvement? No so! This session meets providers where we are and takes us to the next level. We will combine the ECG and the patient presentation to make better STEMI activation decisions, increasing appropriate activation and reducing unnecessary activation. Topics include additional lead ECGs, going beyond ST elevation (OMI/STEMI Equivalents) and dealing with the STEMI impostors, both common and less frequently encountered.

1300-1700 ESCAPE ROOM SIM 4 - 1-HOUR SESSIONS - Robert Victorino & Blaine Meyers
Imagine you and your team of four are in a room, and you only have one hour to evaluate and treat your patient…. The only problem is that all your equipment is hidden, requiring you to answer quizzes and figure out “puzzles” to reach it…. Can you feel the pressure mounting as the clock ticks….?
Be sure to assemble your team of 4 responders to solve the mystery of Robert’s ESCAPE ROOM SIM
1500-17:00 STOP THE BLEED – TRAIN THE TRAINER – Jim Cole
STOP THE BLEED® Instructor course is for people who are interested in teaching this lifesaving skill. The American College of Surgeons STOP THE BLEED® campaign has trained over 3 million people.
