Evidence Based Guideline Review:

Faculty to review our Division of Emergency Medicine’s newly-developed evidence-based guidelines for common PEM conditions. Management pathways and quality care metrics for each condition will be emphasized.

Facilitators: Kyle Nelson, MD, MPH; Richard Bachur, MD;

Marc Baskin, MD; Jason Levy, MD; Kara Hennelly, MD; Cathy Perron, MD; Joyce Li, MD, MPH; Amir Kimia, MD

PEM Research Networks and National Databases:

This session will provide an overview of research networks in pediatric emergency medicine and will review large national databases used for research. 

Facilitator: Mark Neuman, MD, MPH;

Florence Bourgeois, MD, MPH; Lise Nigrovic, MD, MPH

Journal Review:

The overwhelming volume of available literature challenges our capacity to keep pace with the latest studies.  Let us do the work, as we present cogent synopses of top-tier manuscripts that are most relevant to the way you care for children.

Facilitator: Andrew Fine, MD, MPH;

Rebekah Mannix, MD, MPH; Lois Lee, MD, MPH

Procedural Sedation and Analgesia:  Fundamentals and Advanced Training

Facilitator: Baruch Krauss, MD, EdM;

Eric Fleegler, MD, MPH, Mark Waltzman, MD

This workshop explores all aspects of procedural sedation in settings outside
the operating room from basic to advanced concepts including both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to managing acute anxiety and pain in children to
the logistics of developing a sedation service. 

Ultrasound Guided Vascular Access(max enrollment 20)

Facilitator: Jason Levy, MD, RDMS

Rebecca Vieira, MD; Rachel Gallagher, MD

This session is designed to provide an introduction to ultrasound-assisted vascular
access.  Both ultrasound-assisted central and peripheral access will be taught with a
focus on machine fundamentals, anatomy, image acquisition, and the use of ultrasound
to guide catheter placement. The session will include a short didactic followed by
hands-on practical instruction using ultrasound simulation models.

Quality Improvement and Quality Assurance in PEM(max enrollment 20)

Facilitator: Anne Stack, MD

Raina Paul, MD; Elliot Melendez, MD; Cathy Perron, MD

This workshop will provide an overview of the current state of quality in pediatric
emergency medicine. Through small breakout sessions, each participant will learn a
practicalapproach to development of performance measures and performance analysis,
and have the opportunity to develop his/her own quality improvement plan.

Case Studies in PEM

Facilitator: MarcBaskin, MD

Andrew Capraro, MD; Bruce Horwitz, MD, PhD; Lois Lee, MD, MPH;
Rebekah Mannix, MD, MPH

No one likes presenting cases and “taking the heat” at M&M, but there are lessons to be learned. Many chief complaints have benign causes.  However, emergency physicians
need to make sure to consider the “Can’t Miss” diagnoses. We will review a series of
cases exemplifying these scenarios.

Simulation and Practical Skills Workshop (Max enrollment 30)

Facilitator: Josh Nagler, MD

Richard Bachur, MD; Vincent Chiang, MD; Nathan Mick, MD; Mark Neuman, MD, MPH

This workshop will include demonstrations, simulated scenarios, and hands on
instruction in: 1) pediatric airway management focusing on video laryngoscopy, 2) an evidence-based approach to pediatric rapid sequence intubation, 3) emergent access
including manual and power-assisted intraosseous cannulation techniques
and central venous catheters, and 4) invasive thoracic procedures including needle
thoracostomy and chest tube placement.
