Back to camp we go to hear Dr. Matthew Poremba medical director of Allegheny LifeFlight discuss whole blood use in helicopter EMS. Dr. Poremba discussed the hurtles he and the folks at Lifeflight encountered while working to start their whole blood program and why it is far superior to PRBC in his opinion in some patients.

Today we again revisit Camp ECHO for an Interactive discussion of the recognition and management strategies for acute right ventricular failure.

This talk will briefly touch on specific anatomic and physiologic considerations (differentiating from LV, ventricular interdependence, etc), diagnostic tools and strategies for prevention/treatment of acute isolated RV failure or biventricular failure, including fluid/diuretics, inotropic/vasoactive pharmacology, and finally initiation of temporary and durable MCS

This week we revisit another lecture from Camp ECHO. Josh Piotrowski of Erlanger Life Force presents a lecture that will take a look at the rare presentation of Electrical Storm.

Josh says "As critical care providers, we need to recognize that uncommon is our bread and butter and we need to be informed when others may not. We will break down the current ideations on the pathophysiology and treatment of repetitive ventricular arrhythmias."

Enjoy another great talk from Camp ECHO!

Brian King steals the mic from Tony Falzone as he sits down with Tyler Christifulli, Sam Ireland, Bryan Winchell and Brad Garmon from the REinVENT, pre-conference workshop at campECHO, to discuss their workshop. This 10 minute interview goes rogue as Joey Loehner joins the guys as they sit back and enjoy a post pre-conference beverage as they discuss a variety of different topics relating to education and orientation.

Ruth Myles, a flight nurse at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advanced Response Team (DHART) delivers her talk at #CAMPECHO regarding PTSD and the relationship between it and video gaming and what recent research has shown.

From Ruth:

"We did not do enough", this statement was made by a Dispatcher in the AfterAction Report following the mass shooting at the Pulse Nightclub, Orlando, Fl. It is an expression of psychological trauma that is echoed in us all at one time or another. Intrusive memories of the traumatic event or flashbacks are hallmark signs of PTSD, and preventive strategies are lacking. This presentation will examine recent studies that indicate the therapeutic value of video games as a cognitive vaccine.
