Keynote Session 1: Going beyond one-size-fits-all ACLS to patient-centered resuscitation

Current ILCOR guidelines suggest a common treatment algorithm that is the same for all patients in cardiac arrest. While these guidelines are useful as a starting point for treatment, an unanswered question remains on whether a patient-centered resuscitation strategy would save more lives. A patient-centered approach to resuscitation would customize the elements of resuscitation like compressions rate, depth, ventilation, and drugs to the physiology of the individual patient. A hierarchy of patient-centered sensors and therapies will be discussed that represent a paradigm shift for resuscitation.

Lance Becker, MD, Professor of Emergency Medicine and Director, Center for Resuscitation Science, has research interests that are translational and extend across the basic science laboratory into animal models of resuscitation and to human therapies. He has been a leader in the field of resuscitation for over 25 years, pioneering advances in improving the quality of CPR, AED use, defining the “three phase” phase model for cardiac arrest care, and therapeutic hypothermia. He has worked closely with the American Heart Association in emphasizing the importance of a “systems of care” approach to improving survival within communities. The systems of care approach represents a major shift in philosophy as it includes bundles of care, multiple interventions, and relies on the measurement of good outcome metrics like the community survival rate to drive the system to better survival rates. He is also an active basic science researcher with a particular interest in the role of mitochondria in “life-versus-death decision making” for cells and tissues exposed to and recovering from ischemia. He founded and directs the Center for Resuscitation Science which bring investigators from diverse fields together for resuscitation research and improved training of young scientists. His cellular studies have helped define reperfusion injury mechanisms, mitochondrial oxidant generation, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species responses to ischemia, apoptotic activation following ischemia, signaling pathways, new cellular cytoprotective strategies and hypothermia protection. Additional new studies are ongoing on development of novel human coolants for rapid induction of hypothermia, inflammatory pathways activated following shock and cardiac arrest, improving the quality of CPR, new defibrillator and cardiopulmonary bypass technologies, epidemiology of sudden death, and novel treatments for cardiac arrest.

Keynote Session 2: When do we know that emergency care is quality care?

The Emergency Department is the "front door" of the hospital and results in more complaints, litigation and safety concerns than other departments. Internationally, there has been little consensus on what represents a high quality and safe ED, yet we all hope that we work in one! Developing metrics that show us the state of our EDs is important as we strive for perfection - but what does perfection look like?

Professor Peter Cameron is Chair of Emergency Medicine at Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar, Immediate Past President of the International Federation for Emergency Medicine and Professor of Emergency Medicine at Monash University and The Alfred Hospital, Melbourne Australia. He has been extensively involved in developing quality metrics in Emergency Medicine at both a national and international level.

2014: Amsterdam, Netherlands

Amsterdam, Netherlands from 28 September - 1 October 2014

westergasfabriek

Amsterdam has always been open for new ideas and throughout its history has dared to look beyond its borders. It is fitting that EuSEM's congress was taking place in Amsterdam. In this congress we also sought new ideas and sought to move emergency medicine forward internationally.

Amsterdam has a history of creating wealth through global trade. I was reading about how Amsterdam became the richest city in the world in the 1600s: "Amsterdam's wealth was generated by its commerce, which was in turn sustained by the encouragement of entrepreneurs, whatever their origin. In the 1600s, ships from the city sailed to North America, Indonesia, Brazil and Africa and formed the basis of a worldwide trading network for everything from spices and silks to diamonds. Rembrandt painted in the city at the peak of its prosperity. Today the city has a globally active service and knowledge-based economy including banking and finance, transport, freight logistics and trading, while its airport is one of Europe's busiest.

Like Amsterdam, we in emergency medicine must take an international view of our challenges. Emergency medicine is growing rapidly and undergoing major changes across Europe. We have become a key provider of medical treatment, going way beyond the early concepts of accident and urgent care at the evening or weekends when other care providers are absent. In some of the largest European countries, statistics show the number of patients in emergency departments each year reaches a quarter of the population. This huge number of patients demands high quality of treatment. Waiting times in emergency departments are a number one theme in the press and television in some countries. To cope with such challenges emergency medicine needs new ideas. Like the merchants from Amsterdam who made the city rich by reaching out to the world, we must also look beyond our own countries. We must be open to new ideas and seek new knowledge to find new answers.

The Netherlands Society of Emergency Physicians (NSEP) was founded in Amsterdam in 1999. At that time in The Netherlands, emergency medicine as an independent medical specialty was only an idea. In 2014, fifteen years later, over 300 trained emergency physicians are working in 85 out of 93 emergency departments, of which ten are staffed by emergency physicians 24/7. In 28 training hospitals 192 residents are being trained. In a short period emergency medicine has become the future quality standard for emergency care in The Netherlands. As part of these dynamic developments we are proud to have hosted EuSEM 2014 Amsterdam, the 8th European Congress on Emergency Medicine.

2014's main theme was  ‘Connecting for Excellence!’. Traditionally Amsterdam has been a city in connection with the entire world. In 2014, 178 nationalities live together in this capital city… a breeding ground for creative excellence.

The Westergasfabriek, a building in Dutch neo-renaissance style, was originally designed as a coal gas factory complex in 1885. In the course of time the use of the building has changed. Today the area has become a cultural zone which also offers a conference venue in the historical center of Amsterdam, and is an inspiring environment to meet and advance the quality of emergency care together.

Pre-Course: Falck Foundation Prehospital Research Workshop

Saturday 27 September: 08:30 - 16:30

Course Director

  • Rune Andersen, Denmark

Faculty

  • Maaret Castrén, Sweden
  • Jana Séblova, Czech Republic
  • Joost Bierens, Netherlands
  • V. Anantharaman, Singapore
  • Olivier Hoogmartens, Belgium 

Individual assignement before seminar

  • 1. Create a new prehospital research proposal, or use your current prehospital research proposal
  • 2. During the workshop there will be time available to prepare and/or discuss your prehospital research proposal in group
  • 3. Each attendee will be asked to actively participate in the group discussions

Course description

After 5 introductory presentations by experts with experiences in prehospital research, the participants of the workshop will be separated in distinct groups. Participants introduce their own current version of a research proposal by which is then discussed with the researchers, group and in the plenary session. The goal of the interactive workshop is to learn the most important elements that contribute to good quality and successful prehospital research. The goal is not that the research proposals will be executed, although further initiatives to do so will be applauded.

Learning objectives

Research in the prehospital domain of emergency medicine in scarce. It is well-known that such research is difficult to prepare, execute and publish in high impact journals. It is not uncommon that a young and dedicated researcher has the intention to start an interesting study and discover the hard way that the study cannot be completed successfully. At the same time, such prehospital research is needed to further improve the quality and effectively of current pre-hospital treatments. The pre-conference workshop on prehospital research aims at gathering around the table practitioners seeking to improve their scientific research skills and in this way are able to contribute to improved pre-hospital emergency health care. The learning outcomes when participating in this workshop is: to create a sound prehospital research proposal;
