Live Stream - The Edge of Homicide: Nonfatal Strangulation and Nursing Implications

Four Seasons Ballroom

10:15 AM - 11:00 AM

Presentation Description: All forms of intimate partner violence are detrimental to the overall wellness of our patients in the ED, some are even criminal. Strangulation is different, and much worse. Men who strangle are more likely to kill their victims, kill police officers, and perpetrate mass shootings. Strangulation is one of the few near fatal events that often leave little or no physical findings on patients presenting to the ED. What is the mechanism of injury - why is strangulation so deadly? What are the obvious and occult signs and symptoms the ED nurse should look for? What's the best (and worst) way to document and how does all of this relates to the medical exemption to hearsay in court?

This is an emotional and knowledge packed 45 minute presentation. The presenter is passionate about this topic having lost her sister in 2013 to domestic violence homicide. I'll share with you what I wish I'd known and what I wish I'd said. This presentation will give you the knowledge and tools to become a gladiator for victims of violence in your ED.

102-104-106

1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Presentation Description: a respiratory failure patient just arrived or you just helped intubate your patent now what? SOMEONE CALL RT!!! No matter if it is because of the standard staffing shortages that have plagued the ED for decades or the current challenges the recent pandemic has created, sometimes an RT is not immediately available. For most nurses, respiratory support procedures are something we are not well-practiced in and the ventilator is basically just a piece of office equipment that makes noise from time to time at the bedside. The goal of the presentation will be to help the attendee understand the basics of respiratory support and mechanical ventilation and how the ventilator can be optimized for each individual patient.

Ah Ha Ha Ha Staying Alive: Triage Education That Makes a Difference in Our New World

505-506-507

3:30 PM - 4:15 PM

Presentation Description: The recent exodus of ED nurses has created a gap in overall experience. Triage, once reserved for ED nurses with a minimum of two years experience, is being filled by newer to practice nurses. Educators are challenged to prepare inexperienced triage RNs for this task. With limited time and resources, how do we set these new nurses up for success?
By analyzing over a million triage records, common acuity assignment errors emerge that have significant consequences on patient outcomes. This presentation will review these errors and help educators focus on what’s important for new triage nurses as well as those who are seasoned practitioners.

But They're Prescribed or Over-the-Counter Drugs: Drug-Induced Liver Injury

201-203

3:30 PM - 4:15 PM

Presentation Description: There are more than 1,000 medications that have been associated with drug-induced liver injury (DILI), but what products are most likely to cause the problem? Many individuals believe that if medications are OTC or even “natural/herbal” supplements, then they are safe. Understanding the causes and outcomes of DILI are poorly understood by clinicians and patients. During this presentation, we will “work through” case studies of common drugs ingested by our patients that can cause drug-induced liver injury without their knowledge and develop some resources that can assist us, as providers, in identifying these injuries early in their course

Live Stream - Things We Do for No Reason: ED edition

Four Seasons Ballroom

3:30 PM - 4:15 PM

Presentation Description: The ED is always a busy place, and it can be overwhelmingly so as of late. When things get busy it is easy to fall back on old practices that might not be based on the latest evidence. However, the medical field now focuses on evidence-based practices. Not only are they best for patients, but evidence-based practices are often the best use of resources as well. During this lecture, we will discuss some old stand-by practices that are not evidence-based and actually increase ED time. In some cases, these outdated habits cause harm to the patient.

Top Five Studies/Practice Guidelines Emergency Nurses Should Know About

501-502-503-504

3:30 PM - 4:15 PM

Presentation Description: Emergency nursing is a dynamic practice and in a constant state of change. Often clinical practice is implemented but we later find that it's ineffective or doesn’t make a clinical difference. Nurses armed with knowledge of current research are able to advocate for patients and drive clinical change. The focus of this session is to review research and/or guidelines published on hot topics such as Ketamine uses in the ED, therapeutic hypothermia vs normothermia in cardiac arrest, Buprenorphine for opioid use disorder, new 2021 sepsis guidelines and assessment of hypovolemia in the ED. The presenters will drill down the latest evidence to support recommendations. Not only will current topics be discussed, but research tips and tricks are reviewed and explained in a fun, easy format.

Live Stream - Driveway Dangers: Solutions to Safety

401-402-403-404

4:30 PM - 5:15 PM

Presentation Description:

Patients arrive to Emergency Departments (ED) seeking care in several different ways. Some walk-in, others arrive in private vehicles, and some come via Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The seriousness of the patient’s illness or injury does not always determine the mode of transportation used to get them to the hospital.

It is not uncommon for critically ill or injured patients to arrive in the back of pickup trucks or even drive themselves. When this occurs, the ED team needs to ensure it is safe to approach the vehicle where they can rapidly access, assess, and begin treatment for these patients, often right in the ED driveway. Many emergency nurses do not have pre-hospital training or experience and do not know how to safely approach these vehicles and extricate patients.

Our goal was to use the University of Cincinnati Be Safe Program as a foundation for our multidisciplinary team to develop a process that would work for our ED.

PHJI Water Trauma: A Low Frequency, High Severity Personal Watercraft Injury - Awareness, Education and Trauma Triage Adjustments are Needed

505-506-507

4:30 PM - 5:15 PM

Presentation Description: This presentation will provide participants knowledge regarding complex perineal hydrostatic Jetstream injuries (PHJI, pronounced fee-jee)) due to personal watercrafts (PWC). The focus will be on identifying this type of injury, treatment modalities, transporting to appropriate level of care, and hospital course of treatment including long term effects. A description of the mechanism of injury will be included to better understand injury pattern and causes. Case discussions and scenarios will help participants better understand how to identify and where to transport patients suffering this rare injury. PWC usage has gained in popularity, even more so during the pandemic. This injury can be life-threatening and devastating if survived. Awareness and rapid identification/transport is critical to better patient outcomes. Unfortunately, there is a lack and/or absence of knowledge amongst First Responders, Ocean Rescue, Hospital Staff (all disciplines), Law Enforcement and the public regarding this type of injury. The speaker will explain the importance of education by sharing his personal experience after educating a group of first responders and how this educational workshop directly benefited a PHJI trauma patient immediately after the training - it's considered his proudest "save" of his career.

Live Stream - Experience of the Obese Individual with Weight Bias/Stigma

401-402-403-404

5:30 PM - 6:00 PM

Presentation Description: Obesity management has been identified as an important issue in health promotion, and some researchers have also reported that people who are obese often do not seek health care. Yet, current research is lacking on the complexities of weight stigma from the perspective of people who are obese. The purpose of this qualitive descriptive study was to understand the perceptions of weight bias/stigma of obese individuals. In this study, I attempted to bridge the gap by delving into the perceptions of the obese population, therefore providing more insight on the specific subjective meanings associated with weight stigma from the individual perspective. Upon completion of presentation the audience should have learned that weight bias not only exists but is considered the last acceptable form of bias. Also the audience will gain understanding and insight into weight bias from the obese population allowing insight on how even the smallest bias can make a huge difference in seeking of healthcare.

Gender Conversations: Unspoken Stressors of Men in Emergency Nursing

102-104-106

5:30 PM - 6:00 PM

Have you wondered what might be in play on nursing problems like horizontal violence, staffing problems, funding and pay, resource allocation and hierarchical structures in nursing? Most of these issues are argued to be intersected by gender issues and powerful political, cultural, and ideological structures in nursing, often taken for granted and not prioritized in clinical practice and even in nursing education (Holyoake, 2001; Kellet, 2020; McIntyre & McDonald, 2018). However, what might be the “secrets” of emergency nursing worth spreading in tackling gender equity? Although inequitable representation of men in nursing exists and to almost invisible, emergency nursing seems to be at the forefront of the chronic understanding problem of gender equity (Rajacich et al., 2014; Sayman, 2015; Sasa, 2019). This presentation aims to elucidate the history of a male nurse, evidence supporting stereotypical gendered ideations and possible contextual help-seeking behaviors in emergency departments.

Hold the Epi!: Neonatal Resuscitation in the ED

505-506-507

5:30 PM - 6:00 PM

Presentation Description: It is estimated that 6 million babies (3-6% of all births) will need basic neonatal resuscitation every year. Babies are not commonly born in the ED and even fewer need resuscitation. However, when ED babies do need resuscitation it can be incredibly stressful, and with a lack of experience or knowledge of correct resuscitation, it can be deadly. Some studies have shown that in the ED only 38.7% of the staff had received any formal NRP training, and 75 - 85% reported their comfort with resuscitation as poor or very poor. Not only is neonatal resuscitation a high-risk low-frequency event, but it is also vastly different from adult or even pediatric resuscitation. A basic understanding of the physiology of a neonatal and the basic steps of neonatal resuscitation can help improve the confidence of the ED staff and improve outcomes.

ICU in the ER: OMG. When the ICU Doesn't Just Happen In The ICU

201-203

As these critical care patients are boarded, ER nurses are expected to maintain ICU level care and perform critical care procedures and interventions in a setting not designed to support critical care patients for extended periods of time. Nurses in the ER may also be unfamiliar with specialty critical care interventions and procedures. This presentation will explore and discuss potential best practices for providing extended period critical care to ICU boarded patients in the ER gathered from healthcare systems across the country.
