In-Person Event
Oct 31 - Nov 03, 2018
Grapevine, Texas, USA
OVERVIEW
2018 ALERRT Conference is organized by University of North Texas (UNT) Health Science Center Continuing Education and will be held from Oct 31 - Nov 03, 2018 at Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center, Grapevine, Texas, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is medical personnel that work in emergency and trauma situations, including Emergency Medicine, Trauma, Trauma Surgery, Anesthesia, Neurology and Critical Care. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 15.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Conference Description :
The ALERRT Conference will bring together the team that works side-by-side in a mass casualty incident (MCI). This four-day learning event will have representatives from medical, fire, and police to discuss and implement improvements for responses to emergency events.
In addition to educational tracks for police, fire and EMS, a distinct physician conference track will be offered. It will address the physiology and resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock, the historical background of whole blood, its advantages over a 1:1:1 resuscitation strategy as well as the challenges of implementing a whole blood program.
Speakers will discuss how organizations can create systems capable of adaptive learning during periods of chaos and complexity using examples from the Dallas Ebola experience as well as the Las Vegas shooting. Finally, speakers will examine current civilian Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) response models to assess where opportunities for improvement may exist.
The University of North Texas Health Science Center presents this activity for educational purposes only. Participants are expected to utilize their own expertise and judgment while engaged in the practice of medicine. The content of the presentations is provided solely by presenters who have been selected for presentations because of recognized expertise in their field.
Conference Objectives are :
• Recognize the importance of patient and team centered care throughout a mass casualty response.
• Distinguish the underlying concepts of shock, oxygen debt, oxygen debt repayment as well as "blood failure" and to appreciate the unique, comprehensive role whole blood resuscitation plays in restoring circulating volume, oxygen carrying capacity and hemostasis to the patient in hemorrhagic shock in a single product.
• Identify the principles of High Reliability Organizing.
• Recognize systems capable of adaptive learning during periods of chaos and complexity.
