Preliminary Program

This year’s Scientific Assembly is going to be better than ever! Take a minute to register for the American Academy of Emergency Medicine’s 22nd Annual Scientific Assembly, held in Las Vegas from Wednesday, February 17, through Sunday, February 21, 2016. Register now at www.aaem.org/AAEM16.

The AAEM Education Committee diligently maintains the phenomenal quality of emergency medicine’s preeminent educational conference, the AAEM Scientific Assembly. We will provide you with the education you need to take great care of your patients, great care of your practice, great care of yourself, and be at the cutting edge of medical trends and knowledge.

We have had tremendous success over the past several years with educational innovations that we will be building upon this year. As the planning subcommittee co-chairs, we have leveraged the experience and knowledge of Dr. Joseph Lex, Jr., with the energy of a young, dynamic planning subcommittee to bring a top-notch conference to a very popular locale. You will find many old favorites like:• Point-Counterpoint• When the Shift Hits the Fan

• Financial Wellness for Physicians• Medicolegal Aspects of Emergency Medicine

Also, we will continue with recent successes that have been so popular the past couple of years like the Pecha Kucha sessions for a rapid fire, diverse topic format. These presentations include 20 slides for a review of a single topic in just under seven minutes. These sessions have been tremendously successful for the past two years and will be back in Las Vegas.

There are several stellar pre-conference courses planned for Wednesday, February 17 and Thursday, February 18, which include many perennial favorites as well as new topics to keep you relevant and informed including:• Ultrasound — Beginner and Advanced, Didactic and Lab Sessions• Simulation — Pediatric and Obstetric Labs• Emergency Neurological Life Support (ENLS) Course, Jointly Provided by the Neurocritical Care Society• So You Think You Can Interpret an EKG?• 2015 LLSA Review Course• Operations Management Update: What You Need to Know in 2016• Responding to the Disaster — When Your World Becomes Austere, Jointly Provided by USAAEM• Public Enemy No. 1 — Obesity: Challenges in the Management of the Morbidly Obese in the Emergency

Department, Jointly Provided by CAL/AAEM• Resuscitation for Emergency Physicians• 2016 Medical Student Track

Our keynote speaker this year is Dr. Zubin Damania, otherwise known as ZDoggMD. Those of you familiar with YouTube and social media have probably seen his medical parody videos. Dr. Damania also has serious accomplishments in medicine and has a critical message for us. Dr. Joseph Lex, Jr., will also provide a keynote talk as he reflects on 49 years in emergency medicine. This promises to be a “can’t miss” talk. Keep tuned for other possible surprise speakers as they are confirmed.

The conference will also feature several dynamic plenary talks including: • Amal Mattu, MD FAAEM — Cardiology Updates• Peter DeBlieux, MD FAAEM — Critical Care You Need to Know• Corey Slovis, MD FAAEM FACP FACEP — Resuscitation Updates • Evadne Marcolini, MD FAAEM FACEP — Neurological Critical Care• Mimi Lu, MD FAAEM — Pediatric Updates• Nilesh Patel, DO FAAEM FACOEP — Infectious Diseases

The Academy has always worked to bring our top speakers back while providing an opportunity for young, talented voices to rise up and become tomorrow’s educational leaders. We continue our search for the future

Continuing Medical Education

Accreditation StatementThe American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Credit Designation StatementThe American Academy of Emergency Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 23 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Disclosure PolicyAll faculty and planning committee members participating in continuing medical education programs sponsored by AAEM are expected to disclose to the audience any real or apparent conflicts of interest.

Educational NeedsIn order to maintain their medical practice at the highest possible level, emergency physicians need up to date information on a variety of topics in emergency medicine, including both clinical and workplace issues. This conference will meet those needs by providing cutting edge information in several relevant areas. AAEM frequently polls its members for potential topics to be covered. A majority of the topics for 2016 were selected specifically on recommendation of a member.

When planning activities, the AAEM Education Committee uses the 2013 Model of the Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine to determine the education needs of the emergency physicians attending Scientific Assembly. The Model of the Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine details the core content of emergency medicine and undergoes an on-going review.

Target AudienceThis activity is designed for providers engaged in the practice of emergency medicine who are seeking the most current information in the field, presented at a skill level appropriate to the education needs of the emergency physician.

Learning ObjectiveUpon completion of this activity, participants will be able to apply new principles to improve their everyday practice of emergency medicine and to increase their understanding of the emergency medicine workplace.

ACGME Competency IndexTo contribute to the development of our members as lifelong learners and enhance the effectiveness of the CME activities it provides, AAEM uses the six competencies defined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) to guide its educational programming decisions. The six competencies are:

Patient Care Interpersonal and Communication SkillsMedical Knowledge ProfessionalismPractice-Based Learning and Improvement Systems-Based Practice

All sessions at the AAEM Scientific Assembly address the competencies of Patient Care and Medical Knowledge. For more information about the ACGME physician competencies, visit http://acgme.org.

Public Enemy No. 1 — Obesity Challenges in the Management of the Morbidly Obese in the Emergency DepartmentSession P04Wednesday, February 17, 20168:00am-3:45pmJointly Provided by CAL/AAEM

According to the American Heart Association, currently, one in three U.S. adults is obese, and another third of Americans are overweight. In numbers, nearly 13 million children and 78 million adults in the United States are affected by the health and emotional effects of obesity on a daily basis.

Not only is there a physical and psychological toll for the obese, there is also a fiscal toll in that the disease costs $190 billion a year in weight-related medical bills.

A Gallup poll based on telephone interviews conducted November 7-10, 2013, with a random sample of 1,039 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia revealed that among actual health ailments, obesity ranks first at 13%.1

Are emergency physicians positioned to face this challenge?This course is designed to enlighten the emergency physician to the health care issues directly related to the epidemic of obesity in children and adults and to provide an avenue in which to manage these challenges in the emergency department (ED).

The World Health Organization began sounding the alarm on obesity in the 1990s!2

Key Facts3

1. Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980. 2. In 2014, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight. Of these over 600 million were

obese.3. 39% of adults aged 18 years and over were overweight in 2014, and 13% were obese.4. Most of the world’s population live in countries where overweight and obesity kills more people than

underweight.5. 42 million children under the age of five were overweight or obese in 2013.6. Obesity is preventable.

Accreditation StatementThis activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) and the California Chapter Division of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (CAL/AAEM). The American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Credit Designation StatementThe American Academy of Emergency Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 6.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Resuscitation for Emergency PhysiciansSessions P07Wednesday, February 17, 2016 7:30-11:30am, 1:00-5:00pmThursday, February 18, 20167:30-11:00am

In recent years, it has become all too common for critically ill patients to remain in the emergency department for exceedingly long periods of time. It is during these early hours of illness that many detrimental processes begin to take hold. It is during these early hours of illness that lives can be saved … or lost! In order to prevent unnecessary morbidity and mortality, the emergency physician must be an expert at resuscitating the critically ill patient.

Resuscitation for Emergency Physicians (REP) is an outstanding resuscitation course for the emergency physician that encompasses a broad spectrum of topics including undifferentiated shock, the critical airway, anaphylaxis, cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, emergency transfusions, toxicology disasters, sepsis, CNS catastrophes, and pediatric resuscitation. REP is the first integrated resuscitation course developed by an emergency medicine professional society that is tailored to the needs of emergency physicians. Emergency physicians who want to take a single resuscitation course taught at an advanced level, rather than taking ACLS, PALS and ATLS, will find REP to be an outstanding experience. Quite simply, this course will help you save lives!

Simulation – ObstetricsSession P08aWednesday, February 17, 201612:30-4:45pm

This simulation course is designed for emergency physicians seeking a practical, hands-on course in the management of critical obstetric scenarios including the performance of invasive procedures. Training is available for emergency physicians of all levels to teach skills not received during emergency medicine training, or to refresh delivery skills and procedures that are rarely used but “high-risk” when encountered in the emergency department setting.

It will include didactic and intensive simulation training in four high-risk deliveries scenarios: breech, shoulder dystocia, nuchal cord delivery requiring resuscitation of both mother and fetus, and crash caesarean section. Junior physicians will have a hand at directing the management of simulated high risk obstetric scenarios. Senior physicians will be able to refresh their skills particularly in procedures and events that are infrequent in practice but high stakes when they are needed.

Faculty will guide participants through the stations and provide not only core instruction in indication, performance and management of complications, but also share their “tricks of the trade.”

Participants will receive hands-on instruction by experienced emergency medicine and obstetrics faculty. Task trainers and simulators will be used to recreate clinical vignettes. Critical actions will be reviewed and each participant will perform these simulated high-risk deliveries. A post-training summary will ensure understanding of steps necessary for successful high-risk deliveries.

Course Credit Designation StatementThe American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) designates this live activity for a maximum of 3.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Learning ObjectivesAt the conclusion of this presentation, each participant should be able to:1. Describe the different breech delivery positions and apply recommended techniques for a successful

breech delivery.2. Identify when a delivery is complicated by shoulder dystocia and perform a successful shoulder dystocia

delivery.3. Recognize a nuchal cord delivery with fetal distress and demonstrate an understanding of neonatal

resuscitation and immediate maternal post-partum care.4. Review indications, necessary supplies and techniques for successful umbilical catheter insertion for

neonatal resuscitation.5. Recognize indications for crash caesarean section delivery and review the technique.

Simulation – PediatricsSession P08bThursday, February 18, 20167:00-11:45am

Critically sick children are every emergency physician’s nightmare; nobody wants them but we all do and will encounter them in our clinical practice. So let’s practice these “high stakes infrequently encountered cases” in a simulated environment and become experts. Sound good?? If yes, then this course is for you.

Pediatric Emergency Immersive Simulation based course is designed for emergency physicians seeking to enhance their decision making and procedural skills in caring for critically sick children.

The cases selected for this conference are not frequently encountered but carry a very high risk and emergency physicians from all levels will greatly benefit from them. Seasoned physicians will solidify their knowledge and get comfortable with running codes and performing procedures while junior physicians will get an opportunity to hone on their analytical and decision making skills as well procedural skills. Each participant will have the chance to critically analyze and be in a leadership role for at least one critical case. Our expert faculty will debrief the participants through the stations regarding the critical decision making and procedural expertise. Come, play and become comfortable in dealing with these tough cases in your practice.

Course Credit Designation StatementThe American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) designates this live activity for a maximum of 4.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
