SESAM 2012

Title: Major Haemorrhage workshop – The bloody mess! Presenters: Rob Clark and Paul Savage (UK) Location: SAFER Centre When: Friday 15th June 10.15am – 11.15am This workshop will demonstrate and discuss the skills and techniques required to create a scenario that observers in the conference and the students themselves will never forget. The workshop will explain the skills required to use the “major Haemorrage Kits” which have been supplied to every NHS Ambulance in the UK. It will discuss the educational basis for a structured approach to patient assessment, and the concepts of realism in pre-hospital care.The workshop will cover key clinical concepts such as Arterial  Tourniquet Use – and the use of pelvic binders before the  observers will witness a student undergoing a major Trauma assessment and treatment.

Once the scenario has been run, Mr Paul Savage from the RNLI (Royal National LifeBoat Institution)  will lead the discussion on creating the scenario – Skills required, equipment required and creating realism in different environments.

SESAM – Pre-Hospital WorkshopsTarget audience: Pre hospital health care professionals (..but, all are welcome!)

Title: Pre-hospital Obstetric Emergency Workshop

Presenters: Prof Tim Draycott, Dr Sian Edwards, Dr Jo Crofts and Cathy Winter (UK)

Location: SAFER Centre When: Friday 15th June 11.45am – 12.45pm There is an increasing requirement for good pre-hospital emergency maternity care. Paramedics and ambulance crews are often the first health care workers to arrive for obstetric emergencies away from the obstetric unit. However, paramedics are very rarely included in obstetric training courses even though obstetric emergencies are considered some of the most worrying emergencies by paramedic staff, at least partly because of these training deficiencies. Key aspects of our pilot paramedic training programme will be demonstrated during the workshop. Demonstration scenarios will include immediate management and safe transfer of women presenting with complications such as haemorrhage, eclampsia, and shoulder dystocia followed by an interactive feedback session.  The session will finish with a group discussion on the role of obstetric emergency paramedic training and the opportunity for questions to the PROMPT faculty team.

SESAM – Pre-Hospital Workshops

Title: Simulation and Beyond! Presenters: Steve Overton and Dr Jason van der Velde (UK, Ireland) Location: Conference Centre (Hall E) When: Friday 15th June 3.15pm – 4.15pm Traditionally education using high fidelity simulation has largely occurred in dedicated simulation centres. The arrival of wirelessly operated manikins has raised the possibility of moving beyond these fixed walls. At Queens hospital, Burton we have been using a SimMan 3G to deliver acute care to a muti-agency audience within the normal working environment. We have been successful in incorporating in-situ simulation training in 2 areas; the ED and the ICU. We see a gap in the integration of pre-hospital care. The use of remotely controlled manikins opens up the ability to incorporate this important stage of the patient journey.

This presentation/workshop will demonstrate the use of remote desktop control from the auditorium to manage the manikin simulating a patient with a traumatic brain in jury in the community. The speaker will take two volunteers from the audience to the scene to help him assess and intervene with a scenario goal of intubating the patient. The remaining audience will construct the scenario controlling the manikin. These events will be fed live back to the audience live, demonstrating the application of the technology is the primary goal. Debriefing will aim to highlight the value of a checklist to aid clinical decision making.

SESAM – Pre-Hospital Workshops

Title:How to develop a pre-hospital Paediatric scenario Workshop

Presenters: Dr Antonio Iglesias and Luis Sanchez-Santos (Spain) Location: Conference Centre (Hall E) When: Saturday 16th June 9.00am – 10.00am Traditional methods of training for health professionals includes ad-hoc design of clinical cases. The paradigm of this situation is the teaching of life support. One of the weaknesses is the contamination of the scenario, by the knowledge and experience of the instructor. The development of a professional career is based on the acquisition of skills through contact with patients, reinforcement and constant updating and regular training of practical skills. The use of real patients and clinical data as the design basis for the development of simulated clinical scenarios could therefore be closer practical, real and transferable to daily work.

The goal of the workshop is to discuss learning strategies based on real patients and describe the process beginning from a patient (shown as a video recording) – including the reasons for its inclusion as a case for a course of advanced medical simulation, detailing step by step from the video to the scenario and ending with the debriefing.
