Notes from EMRA 20 in 6 @ ACEP 2018 10-3-18

LVAD: Listen, Ventricle, Anticoagulate, Device
Wellness: Learn a skill, be happy, duh. Focus on systems instead.
K2/Synth Drugs: B-BZDs, L-lytes check ekg, O-opioid reversal, C – contaminants, K – Kidney injury
Neonate Resus: Dry, Suction, Stimulate. PPV. Tap out HR while auscultating so team hears.
ETOH: AMS 1) infection 2) Metabolic 3) CVA 4) Intox 5) Hypovolemia
NOACS: taken w/i 24hrs –> Y? –> reverse if life or limb threatening
Saving MOM: 4mins. Assign 3 teams (Resus mom, Airway, Neonate)
AMA: Mitigate your patient’s harm, even when they don’t want to be your patient anymore.
PIV is the MVP
PULMONARY HTN: Don’t throw gas on the fire. IVF and PPV = Bad. Hypoxia = Bad. Good? –> Pressors early (x/c phenylephrine) and Epoprostenol or Inhaled NO.
Death Note: Clarity (DEAD), Privacy, Simplicity. Death Narrative not necessarily an announcement.
Blast Injury.
TXA – give it.
Pre-exposure PPX: High risk folks. Truvada daily. Decrease transmission 90%!

How to give an excellent presenation

Tell me what you’re gonna tell me, Tell me, Tell me what you told me
Start with the HOOK, into the STORY, then into the 1st Slide
If using GIF/MEME –> make it personal/edit it so it serves your purpose
SLOW is SMOOTH. SMOOTH is FAST.
Poignant delivery = Best Emphasis
QR code for references
Patients perspective as a format style –> interesting way to approach a topic
Lectures are to persuade, not teach.
Black slide to conclude and end –> Focus on the speaker and the take home message
OWN THE TONE

I’ll probably need to add to this and make it a better graphic eventually.

I – Iatrogenic (endoscopy, central line, etc), Infectious, Infarction (MI), Idiopathic
R – Rheumatic Heart Dx (MR or MS)
A – Anemia
