Conference Schedule, Day 2

Friday, April 1, 2011 - Full Conference Sessions
6:30 AM – 4:30 PM - Conference Registration Open 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM - Continental Breakfast

7:30 – 8:40 AM: DAYBREAK PLENARY SESSION II: Data, Quality, and Outcomes Moderator - Madonna Walters, MS, RN To improve patient care for the injured, trauma centers are expected to benchmark their data and trend complications, 'never' events, mortality, and other outcomes. The goal of benchmarking is to identify opportunities for improvement that ultimately lead to better clinical practices and better trauma care. In this session, you can enhance your understanding of the "how to" of data trending with lessons from TQIP, the military's JTTR, and internal error analysis. This session is open to all who have registered for the full conference.

8:50 AM – 10:00 AM: PLENARY SESSION III: Trauma Resuscitation Moderator - Vicki Bennett, RN, MSN, CEN, CCRN Effective trauma resuscitation is a keystone of trauma care, and requires a coordinated effort and communication from all team members. While the A-B-C's provide structure, the team must be ready, vigilant, and organized to achieve success—regardless of civilian or military settings. During this plenary session, three trauma leaders discuss common errors in resuscitation, challenges in hemorrhage control, and resuscitation of the elderly.
8:50 – 9:10 AM: Stop the Bleeding COL Brian J. Eastridge, MD, FACS Director, Joint Trauma System Programs, US Army Institute of Surgical Research, Fort Sam Houston, TX

9:50 – 10:00 AM: Panel Q & A

10:30 AM – 11:50 AM: PLENARY SESSION IV: Challenging Times, Compassion, and Transparency Moderator - Melinda Case, RN For some time now, family presence during resuscitation has been controversial, and families are sent to waiting rooms while the trauma team performs life-saving measures. These practices endure in spite of growing research that family presence is beneficial to patients and families. Some resistance stems from fear of malpractice lawsuits, though recent studies suggest that the opposite may be true: Family presence fosters appreciation for the trauma team's efforts to do "everything possible." These three speakers will explore the issues surrounding both family presence during resuscitation and the perceived versus actual malpractice risk associated with open discussion of errors.
10:30 – 10:50 AM: Family Presence During Resuscitation: Looking Back 10 Years Jorie Klein, RN, MA Director, Trauma Program & Disaster Management, Parkland Health & Hospital System, Dallas, Texas

Marilyn "Mac" McFarland describes the top ten ways to avoid being fooled by patients at triage, including some lessons we tend to forget. Holly Bair offers sage advice about improving throughput time, to reduce waiting, frustration, and costs. Wendi McNabb distills the key elements of initial burn assessment to the top five that should be done in the first five minutes of care.
