Public Enemy No. 1 — Obesity Challenges in the Management of the Morbidly Obese in the Emergency Department Session P04 Wednesday, February 17, 2016 8:00am-3:45pm Jointly 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 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 Statement This 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).

Resuscitation for Emergency Physicians Sessions P07 Wednesday, February 17, 2016 7:30-11:30am, 1:00-5:00pm Thursday, February 18, 2016 7:30-11:00am 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 – Obstetrics Session P08a Wednesday, February 17, 2016 12:30-4:45pm 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 Statement The 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 Objectives At 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 – Pediatrics Session P08b Thursday, February 18, 2016 7:00-11:45am 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 Statement The American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) designates this live activity for a maximum of 4.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™.
