ABSTRACT

• The abstract clearly defines what your topic will
  be about.
• Clear, thoughtful and concise

23
The Triangle of Death Hypothermia, Acidosis and
Coagulopathy

• The lethal combination of hypothermia, acidosis
  and coagulopathy, known as the triangle of death,
  poses a potential threat to every trauma patient.
  Hypothermia, which is more prevalent in the
  severely injured patient, is associated with
  increased mortality. With the increase in oxygen
  consumption associated with hypoperfusion related
  to shock, acidosis develops, as the oxygen supply
  becomes inadequate to meet the tissue oxygen
  demand. Treatment for acidosis should focus on
  the correction of hypoperfusion and hypothermia.
  The relationship between hypothermia, the degree
  of shock (acidosis) and to the development of
  coagulopathy produces increases the mortality by
  90. This lecture will explain the interesting
  interrelationship between these conditions and
  the treatment options.

24
Making Advanced Hemodynamics Simple

• With the advent of advanced hemodynamic
  monitoring systems, the dependency on medical
  personnel to perform waveform analysis and
  hemodynamic calculations is slowly dwindling. The
  current hemodynamic systems are very good at
  measuring waveforms and calculating the various
  formulas used in the critical care areas.
  However, whether perceived or not, there is a
  genuine need for staff to continue, in this day
  and age, to understand, identify and assist in
  diagnosing various disease processes. While
  computers are good, they will only do what they
  are commanded and do not look at the whole
  picture. This lecture will start with the basics
  and end with advanced hemodynamics for complex
  medical conditions as well as IABP and cardiac
  assist devices commonly seen by prehospital
  personnel.

VADS here, VADS there Ambulatory Ventricular
Assist Devices Everywhere

• Evolving cardiac technology and severe shortages
  of donor hearts for increasing numbers of
  transplant candidates have produced a once never
  thought of reality the patient on a portable
  Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) which allows the
  patient to be ambulatory and discharged home. As
  Emergency Management Service Communities around
  the country become inundated with these patients,
  they are often unaware that the VAD-supported
  patients even exist in their area until a tragic
  accident or mechanical failure brings them face
  to face with one. This lecture examines the
  details necessary for care and transport for
  pre-hospital and emergency room personnel,
  development of a successful training program and
  Ten Questions you should ask before transporting
  or caring for the most common types of ambulatory
  VADs.

The Most Bizarre and Unusual Trauma Case Studies
in Emergency Medicine 2012
Trauma continues to occur in epidemic proportions in our society today however, this is not a new phenomenon. Trauma injury has been recognized as a part of human experience since early civilization. As the worlds population increases so does the incidence of those rare and bizarre cases which present a unique challenge to the healthcare team as life-threatening injuries must be rapidly identified and treated. When seconds count mental preparation and rehearsal can make the difference but if they are rare in occurrence how can we prepare? A review and analysis of a variety of situations with the use of a case study approach will provide insight and learning points to the critical care, emergency and transport nurse of patient management of unusual trauma cases.

Outline

• The outline should clearly show how your
  presentation will flow.
• It will give the reader an indicator of the
  content and timeframe of your lecture.
• It should start with Roman Number I, II, III etc.
