OVERVIEW

Course Description:
The San Diego Day of Trauma is a nationally accredited continuing medical education conference designed for physicians, nurses, physician assistants and first responders in the fields of trauma, emergency, and critical care medicine. Nationally renowned speakers will present state of the art management of life-threatening emergencies commonly encountered in the field. Conference speakers will include specialists in the fields of pre-hospital care, trauma surgery, and critical care. Lectures, real-life case presentations, and interactive sessions will engage attendees and promote improved patient outcomes.
Care of the injured is rapidly evolving. The recent call for zero preventable deaths has sharpened our efforts to both critically evaluate the way we currently care for trauma patients and search for innovations which will make that goal achievable. At the same time, the “Silver Tsunami” of elderly injured continues to overwhelm our trauma centres with patients who are in poor health, many with an already limited life expectancy prior to their current injury. These complications add to the challenges already faced by trauma and emergency medical providers when it comes to providing both reasonable and compassionate care to injured seniors.
This conference will focus on both critical review of current practice and the innovations which will change the way we care for the injured, including elderly patients. Nationally renowned speakers will present state of the art management of life-threatening emergencies commonly encountered in the field. Conference speakers will include specialists in the fields of pre-hospital care, trauma surgery, and critical care. Lectures, real-life case presentations, and interactive sessions will engage attendees and promote improved patient outcomes.
Course Objectives:
• Discuss rapid changes in trauma care over the last two decades that lead to our current practice.
• Identify pre-hospital opportunities to improve immediate care of the injured.
• Describe the role of advances in communicating with pre-hospital providers to improve early stabilization of the injured.
• Incorporate innovations in hemorrhage control both in the field and early at the trauma center.
• Demonstrate effective points of decision making for care of the injured elderly patient beginning with pre-hospital care, to the trauma center, and beyond.
• Identify areas where reassessment of our management will lead to innovations which improve outcomes.
• Develop an approach for maintaining our workforce including recruiting and training the physicians, nurses, physician assistants, and paramedics of the future.
