Out-of-Hospital Pediatric Cardiac Arrest
Presented By: Paul Banerjee

Course Description

Good outcomes are rare when a child goes into cardiac arrest in the prehospital setting. Most EMS professionals are trained to use PALS, but is there a better way to improve these outcomes? This session will demonstrate how Polk County Fire Rescue went from 0% to 45% survival in out-of-hospital pediatric cardiac arrest patients through calculated changes in care and patient preparation.

E-CPR, VADs and ECMO: Oh My!

In this webinar, learners will be introduced to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and its broad applications. It is a well-established therapy, and its use is becoming more widespread. Most tertiary facilities have ECMO programs and capability. EMS personnel could be called on to transport these critically ill patients, and this lecture provides a broad overview. ECMO has been used in the field as a resuscitative adjunct. In the future, it is possible that some centers in the United States may consider this option. In this course, Dr. Misselbeck also provides a provocative look at the potential of this emerging technology for the future.

How Prehospital Stroke Care is Changing

Strokes have a time critical diagnosis which makes practicing the proper prehospital care important to ensure patients are receiving life saving care. In this course, Dr. Eric Cortez discusses what a stroke is, what steps to take to identify a stroke, and how to prepare while transporting the patient to a hospital. By making sure a hospital is prepared to take on a stroke patient, EMS will be able to help shave off time from the occurrence to the time the patients are able to receive treatment. Dr. Cortez also discusses the types of strokes, their symptoms, and their various treatments.
