Welcome

EUSEM Prague 2019 gefreubel

THANK YOU

Dear ColleLuis G Castrilloagues, Prague congress has become part of the EUSEM legacy and in our memory is going to be considered one of our most successful congresses. But this is not the time to enumerate all the relevant achievements of this meeting, and make comparisons; this is the time to sincerely thank those who made this possible.

The team of the scientific (SCOC), social and general program (ECOC) has a crucial impact on the final results of the congress, and their composition is transparent; but now I would like to recognize a more hidden activity that also contributes substantially to the final result.

During the Prague congress, we have had a wide group of volunteers, organized and properly led, mostly Czech medical students who not only provided support for this educational activity, in the future, they are also going to be the best emergency medicine ambassadors.

The national society has put all their resources on the success of the event; we have to mention Dr. Roman Gřegoř, MBA – President of Czech Society for Emergency and Disaster Medicine for his several duties during the congress.

We have had the opportunity to be closer to our daily work thanks to a great photo exhibition: " To the ED". The author Prof. Mgr. Jindřich Štreit, supported by the Department of Olomouc University Hospital, has complemented the scientific perspective of emergency medicine with a more human perspective, and we have to thank them.

The Prague Convention Bureau and the PCO have made our life more pleasant during those days; we are thankful for their commitment. Many others are missing on this list who for sure have had a relevant contribution; my gratitude for your support.

I will like to express one final request to this group of visionaries who made this event possible; it is not rational to lose your experience, and resorting to your generous support, transmit your experience to the new organizers, doing so, the future of EUSEM meetings is going to be more than promising.

PC 7: SafeER PSA - Procedural sedation and analgesia for Emergency Physicians

Course Director

  • Christian Heringhaus (The Netherlands)

Faculty

  • Linda Bel (The Netherlands)
  • Yannick Groutars (The Netherlands)
  • Harald Hennig (Germany)
  • Ruth Sneep (UK)
  • Rebekka Veugelers (The Netherlands)
  • Egon Zwets (The Netherlands)

Participants

The course is designed for 16 participants (Emergency Physicians).
Doctors who will follow the pre-course must be adequately trained in advanced life support and airway management skills.

Course description & learning objectives

Patients in the emergency department often need to undergo painful, distressing, or unpleasant diagnostic and therapeutic procedures as part of their acute care process.  Therefore Procedural Sedation and Analgesia (PSA) performed by emergency physicians is a necessary skill to reduce discomfort, apprehension, and potential unpleasant memories.

PSA is potentially associated with complications and must be seen as a high-risk procedure. Due to the inherent risks, it is important that doctors are aware of and follow available national, international and local guidelines.

PSA must only be performed under absolutely safe condition by health care providers who are trained in monitoring sedated patients and who are trained in recognizing and handling all possible adverse events to avoid complications.

Furthermore it is crucial that adequate training should be followed to ensure the knowledge and skills to safely administer PSA and to treat possible adverse events to avoid complications.

With the SAFE ER PSA course we will give the participants an overview over existing national and international guidelines, show them how to prepare the patient and the environment to perform safe PSA on the Accident and Emergency Department and how to treat the most common adverse events to avoid complications related to PSA.

After an introduction with some short presentations we will mainly train with simulated patients in hands-on workshops.

Participants

Maximum number : 30
All professionals involved in the management of non-vital traumatology: EPs, orthopedists, nurses, immobilization technicians, medical students.

 

Course description:

Non-vital trauma represents 40-60% of chief complaints in the ED. There are many pitfalls in the diagnosis of lesions generating therapeutic delays that can be dramatic in terms of functional prognosis for the patient. To avoid complications, it is essential to develop strong collaboration between orthopedic surgeons involved in trauma emergencies and emergency physicians (EPS). This course will be led by EPs and ED nurses in collaboration with orthopedic surgeons. 

Objectives:

1. To learn the relevant immobilization techniques of the upper and lower limbs:
a. Plaster
b. Resin
c. Strapping
d. Specific assets: shoulder, finger.

2. To learn how to manage sutures of wound injuries in the ED.

Methodology

This session will take place over 2 days involving EPs, orthopedic surgeons and immobilization technicians ED nurses. This session will be exclusively practical and interactive. Experts will show how to carry out the various fixed assets and answer the trainees' questions. Trainees will be distributed into 3 groups.

1- Immobilization workshop with 2 groups:  All trainees will practice with each other with the support of the trainers. The goal is to provide skills in all types of immobilization of limbs.

2- Sutures workshop: trainees will practice on simulation tool.

PC 9: Airway Management Precourse for inner-clinical Emergency Medicine

Course Directors

  • Sabine Merz (Germany)
  • Christian Hohenstein (Germany)

Participants

The course is designed for 20 participants (Emergency Physicians).
Skill stations will be coconducted in small groups.

Course description & learning objectives

Airway Management is a major topic in the Emergency Department. Anesthesiologists are not always available; therefore each member of the ED needs to be able to perform Airway Management. To secure the airway of a patient, it is necessary to know the different devices and techniques and also to consider, that the algorithm is different to the familiar pre-hospital and OR airway algorithm.

In this course, participants will learn about basic and difficult Airway Management. Furthermore, the technique of anaesthetization will be taught.

All participants will be able to train the different techniques and devices on intubation trainers.

Course description  

The number of older patients in the Emergency Department is rising. Many of these older patients suffer from complex comorbidities, frailty and are at risk of adverse outcomes. Working with frail older patients can be difficult for those working in Emergency Medicine, however it is becoming more and more important.

This  ‘hands on’ pre-course has the goal to improve the knowledge and skills regarding Geriatric Emergency Medicine of the participants. We start with one lecture after which the rest of the day will be filled with working groups and scenario’s with small groups.

The participants will be provided with practical tips and clinical education points with which they can start working when they are back in their own hospital.

Using several themes the main issues of working with older patients in the ED will be discussed, such as frailty, the older trauma patient, sepsis, pain management, syncope, polypharmacy, cognitive impairment and end-of-life care.

Learning objectives

  • To teach participants about general concepts of Geriatric Emergency Medicine such as frailty and its implications when working in the ED
  • To give participants clinical education about older patients with:
    • Trauma
    • Sepsis
    • Deprescribing / polypharmacy
    • Pain management
    • Abdominal pain
    • Syncope
    • Delirium and cognitive impairment
  • To give participants training on how to discuss end of life care in the ED

EMERGENCY ULTRASOUND - Ultra smart and sound approach to kids
Sunday 13 October - 15:00 - CONGRESS HALL

Biography
Born and raised in Poland, now an emergency medicine doc on both sides of the Atlantic (according to ABEM and EBEEM). Belgian med school grad (why on earth would you study in your native language?), who endeavored to train and practice EM in the United States. Why would you do a residency and fellowships in the same country you finished medical school, right? These days a medical director of the largest U.S. Armed Forces emergency department outside of the continental USA, namely in Germany. Yes, you are reading it right! It would have been no fun to run an ED that doesn't require you to manage patients in conjunction with foreign medical systems right outside the fence! Here a STEMI that needs to be discussed with the receiving cardiologist "auf Deutsch", there a septic soldier arriving from an African deployment with medical records "en français". Let's not forget: a special operation forces medical instructor NATO-wide, teaching ultrasound in SpecOps Medicine, of course! But most importantly a mom of 2 amazing kiddos - one already an adult, heading into the field of medicine as well!
