⏰ Time: 8:00 PM ET
💻 Platform: Zoom

Speaker: Jason Tartalone  NRP, FAWM, FEWM, WP-C

 
Submersion incidents are time-critical, high-risk events that demand rapid recognition, decisive action, and a strong understanding of pathophysiology. This course is designed to equip EMS providers with the knowledge, skills, and clinical confidence needed to effectively assess, manage, and transport patients experiencing submersion-related emergencies.

Participants will explore the full spectrum of submersion injuries, from brief immersion events to prolonged cardiac arrests, while gaining a deeper understanding of hypoxia, aspiration, laryngospasm, and the cascade that leads to respiratory and cardiac compromise.

This course goes beyond theory. Through case-based discussion and practical application, providers will learn to recognize subtle presentations, avoid common pitfalls, and learn to make critical decisions under pressure.

REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE AT 5:00PM EST ON THE DAY OF THE CLASSES. THE CLASS REMINDER AND LOGON INFORMATION WILL BE SENT NO SOONER THAN 12:00 EST ON THE DAY OF THE COURSES

WEBINAR April 29, 12:00 pm ET: https://ow.ly/Kcr450YCUFF
Medical Considerations for Technical Rescue
- with Doug Hexel

Technical rescue incidents present a unique set of challenges to medical providers. Whether assessing and treating suspension injuries at a rope rescue or crush injuries at a structural collapse, special knowledge and skills are required from the provider. Modern medicine now requires medical treatment to begin during the rescue phase rather than waiting for the victim to be rescued.

This class focuses on kinematics of trauma, rescue techniques, treatment priorities, and special considerations to result in the best possible patient outcomes.
