However, for patients with seriousillness, such as those enrolled in hospice, invasiveinterventions may not be aligned with their goals of care.We will explore how to improve care near the end of life forpatients, particularly for those that prefer to allow a naturaldeath.Captain Timothy J. BarelliUnited States Coast Guard9:00 am – 10:00 amKEYNOTE SPEAKERThe Legend: Unmasking COVID Parodyin Prehospital CareSteve Berry, BA, NRPThose working in the field of emergency medicine have longrecognized the need and art of lampooning that which hurts us.The humor is often dark in content and may appear insensitive tothose on the outside, but in truth it is a learned survival skill longknown for its physiological and mental health benefits. COVID-19remains a continuous health care crisis with no apparent endin sight and this talk will explore how we have found humor as ahealth-protecting cognitive coping resource along with theabsurdities and imperfections of our world during the pandemic.One may not be able to change the realities of this disease, but itis in our control to change how we feel about it.10:00 am – 10:45 amJam Session: Break with Exhibitors10:45 am – 11:45 amHard Rock: How to Conduct EMS Investigations?Aaron Doyle, EMT-P, Contra Costa County EMS AgencyThere is no manual for when or how a LEMSA should conductEMT disciplinary investigations. This presentation will provide abasic overview of the LEMSA’s role in EMT disciplinaryinvestigations and the step-by-step process to ensure theLEMSA’s investigation process can withstand scrutiny. Thepresentation will cover how to conduct EMT and witnessinterviews, gathering information such as police reports, andpreparing investigative reports, processing subsequent arrestnotifications, and reporting to the National Practitioner Data Bankand the Office of Inspector General.2) Mobile Stroke UnitsMay Nour, MD, PhD, UCLATransition from evidence to practice is the next challenge forMobile Stroke Units (MSUs) now that two controlled studieshave shown improved patient outcomes (BEST-MSU andB PROUD). This requires successful clinical operations aswell as integration into EMS systems. This talk will highlightclinical applications of mobile stroke units, operationallogistics, geospatial mapping of operating locations and mostimportantly, integration into the fabric of EMS andprehospital care.3) Advanced Practitioner Response Units as aComponent of Mobile Integrated HealthSaman Kashani, MD, LA County FDThe traditional EMS model of “you call, we haul” is dated andinefficient. Increasing demand for 9-1-1 services needs tobe met with novel programs. The Los Angeles County FireDepartment’s (LACoFD) Advanced Provider Response Unit(APRU) Program partners a nurse practitioner with a firefighter/paramedic (FFPM) on a specialty unit that respondsto low-medium acuity calls for emergency medical services(EMS). The APRU is able to perform assessments and simpleinterventions in the pre-hospital setting and triage patientsto appropriate levels of follow-up based on the acuity of theircondition and access to healthcare services. In addition, theAPRU performs in-home assessments for high-risk patientsidentified by other department personnel and high systemutilizers. By working with these patients, the APRU programis able to identify and intervene on the social impedimentsto care and improve the patient’s health while reducing theirneed to access critical safety net services.

Lunch & Final Visit with Exhibitors12:30 pm – 1:30 pmStop the Show: The Effects of Pronouncing Patientson Scene and How Do We Do ItAlexandra Y. Jabr, MS, EMT-PResearch continues to stress the importance of remaining onscene for up to 30 minutes in an effort to improve outcome andsurvivability of cardiac arrest patients. But what happens wheneven the most successful efforts result in futility and a patientmust now be pronounced on scene? Historically, institutionshave failed to prepare first responders for this outcome, and“training” for these situations are experiential, at best. As aresult, crews continue to default into a “transport for the family,”“CPR” or “just for show” mentality that has only contributed tothe cultural resistance we face. Because of this practice, wehave failed to recognize our unique role in the grieving (healing)process, which begins for the survivors at the moment that wedetermine time of death of the patient. Let’s have a healthyconversation about something we are all subject to, but nobodytalks about; Death.1:30 pm – 2:30 pmHeavy Metal: PTSD Experience -- Recognition &ManagementBenjamin Vernon, FF/EMT-POn June 24, 2015, Ben’s life changed. While responding toa “routine medical assistance” call, he was stabbed multipletimes by a bystander.

Keynote SpeakersSteve Berry, BA, NRP – Steve, a former teacher and interpreter for the hearing impaired, hasbeen in EMS for over 37 years and is currently a working paramedic and instructor for SouthwestTeller County EMS in Colorado. Believing humor is an essential amino acid in survivingprehospital care, Steve has written over 140 humor articles for JEMS along with cartoonillustrations for JEMS and EMS World magazines. He is the author of the cartoon book series,“I’m Not An Ambulance Driver”. As both a national and international speaker for emergencyhealth care providers, Steve seeks world peace and frequent flyer mileage.In a recent interview, he shared -- I would add that this kind of humor must be “earned and learned” by thoseentering the field. Many tears may have to be shed before this kind of humor can be appreciated and integrated.There is a balance, and laughing does not negate the need for crying. Not everything is a joke. Timing is everything.Most important, one should not apologize for their tears. It’s proof that you’re emotionally alive, and not just in it forthe tubes and IVs.Dan Sun – Daniel was born in Alberta, Canada. After taking up global residency as an Englishlanguage teacher in Egypt, Mexico, Indonesia and Japan, he became a firefighter and paramedicfor the City of Leduc. His love of photography began on his travels, and as his techniquedeveloped, he started to produce a blend of photography and graphic art, which he calls PhotoArt. The majority of Daniel’s work involves emergency services photography and an emotionalconnection to the artist as most of his pieces are based on actual emergency calls he hasattended as a paramedic and firefighter.He is passionate about reducing the stigma of PTSD for first responders and he uses his art to raise awareness ofoccupational stress injuries worldwide. He is a published artist/writer and has two art books produced of his works.Articles of his work have been features in Canadian Paramedicine, JEMS Fire Rescue Magazine in Greece and WMSWorld Magazine.
