Overview:
Critical incident stress management is designed to help normal people having normal stress reactions to abnormal situations. Applying stress management techniques may improve mental and emotional health and thus extend the career of the front line EMS professional.
Objectives:
At the completion of this session, the student will be able to:
1) List five factors that influence stress reactions.
2) Describe "fight or flight" physiology.
3) List three symptoms of a stress reaction.
4) Describe three ways to manage stress.

Overview:
The majority of childhood medical emergencies involve respiratory problems. Respiratory illness is the leading cause of cardiopulmonary arrest in infants and children. The prognosis for cardiopulmonary arrest in children is dismal. However, if respiratory distress is identified and treated quickly and efficiently before respiratory failure and cardiac arrest ensue, the prognosis for neurologically intact survivability is high. Early recognition and treatment are critical for good outcomes of the pediatric patient in respiratory distress.
Objectives:
At the completion of this session, the student will be able to:
1) Identify signs and symptoms of croup.
2) List the treatments for upper airway infections.
3) Describe appropriate asthma ventilation techniques.
4) Define respiratory distress, respiratory failure, and respiratory compromise.

Overview:
It is the responsibility of every pre-hospital provider to assure safe and effective delivery of patient care. In order to achieve this goal one must review every call with an open mind and be willing to accept constructive criticism. Reviewing other provider's calls can be just as beneficial. This module provides an opportunity to identify strengths and areas of growth. The ultimate goal is to apply this learning to improve patient care.
Objectives:
At the completion of this session, the student will be able to:
1) Identify 3 criteria for field pronouncement.
2) List 2 goals when treating heart failure.
3) Describe the streatment for cocaine toxicity with chest pain.
4) Define SVT.

Overview:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability for people 1-44 years of age. Many survivors are left with significant, long-term cognitive, behavioral, communicative, and medical complications. This can have a devastating effect on the lives of these individuals resulting in significant loss of productivity and potential income. This module provides an overview of TBI statistics, physiology, pathophysiology, assessment, and treatment. Two case presentations are included.
Objectives:
At the completion of this session, the student will be able to:
1) Define the Monroe-Kelly principal.
2) Describe the difference between primary and secondary brain injury.
3) List 3 signs of herniation.
4) List the three 9s of TBI management.

Overview:
This module is designed for the clinician who has the potential to identify and treat patients with West Nile virus. It addresses virology, history, geographic distribution transmission cycles, atypical transmission, clinical presentation, clinical suspicion, laboratory findings, diagnostic testing, treatment, reporting, and prevention.
Objectives:
At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
1. Describe the clinical presentation of a patient infected with West Nile virus.
2. Explain the transmission cycle of the West Nile virus.

Surgical Cricothyrotomy
This presentation reviews the history of the procedure, indications, contra-indications, advantages, disadvantages, complications and considerations, the landmarks for the procedure, and the appropriate technique. Completion of this presentation and subsequent evaluation also meets the annual educational requirement for all Paramedics under the HealthONE EMS Medical Director as required by the State of Colorado for the Surgical Cricothyrotomy waiver.
CE Credit: 1 hour (If both sections are completed the student will receive one certificate for 2 hours of CE in surgical airway management.)
Surgical Airway Management Techniques
This presentation covers surgical airway management techniques, other than surgical cricothyrotomy, including the history, indications, contra-indications, advantages, disadvantages, special considerations, and procedure for each technique.
CE Credit: 1 hour (If both sections are completed the student will receive one certificate for 2 hours of CE in surgical airway management.)
