Over the past 30 years point-of-care ultrasound has been influencing patient outcomes in critical care environments by finessing patient assessment and optimising management. The newer generation ultrasounds are smaller and more portable, and as a result are joining physicians in the prehospital arena. Are they making a difference though? In the high-stakes environment of mass casualty events, ultrasound may provide the upper hand to clinicians by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, optimising resour...

When the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) of the Canadian Armed Forces decided to create a brand new forward aeromedical evacuation capability, he wanted it completed from the ground-up in a little over one year time. In this talk, Lieutenant Colonel Leilani Doyle recounts how this was accomplished from the early concept, through development and finally to the deployment of the CMERT (Canadian Medical Emergency Response Team) on the UN mission Operation MINUSMA in Mali in 2018. Lessons from the talk...

Resuscitating a critically injured child is one of the most stressful jobs in pre-hospital medicine. We are all human, many of us parents and the unbelievable emotional cost of a child who has life threatening injuries can take its toll. A year of serious paediatric trauma gave me an interesting perspective on paediatric trauma resuscitation and a new take on the word "resilience." For more head to: codachange.org/podcasts

Dr Sinead Campbell-Gray will be presenting the story of the Northern Ireland HEMS Service, from the Political and Public campaign to get it started right through to the team-work and hard work involved in making this project a reality. She will outline how the Service has been founded on excellence in Trauma Care and Resuscitation Medicine, how the Clinical Service Model works, some lessons learned along the way, and what the future holds for the Northern Ireland HEMS as it continues to develop ...
Surviving a cardiac arrest requires an optimised system of care, or Chain of Survival, that comes together as seamlessly as possible following a sudden collapse. No two communities or EMS / ambulance systems are the same and you need to intimately understand both using data to measure and benchmark how you are performing and then work to improve those elements of the system that you can change to improve survival. Improving survival from cardiac arrest is in our DNA at Ambulance Victoria and thr...

The Coda community have identified the Climate Emergency as the most urgent threat to global health. There is overwhelming scientific evidence that the climate crisis will become catastrophic if we don't take action immediately. This episode of CodaZero Earth focuses on action stage one – 'identify' and lays the foundations for stage two - 'examine' (as set out in our Five Stage action process). We outline the urgency of the challenges that global healthcare faces and how as health professionals...
In Australia a 300 bed hospital uses the same amount of Energy as 5000 to 10000 homes. In many ways what we do at work really does matter. The good news is that this is a solvable problem and in some ways the Covid19 pandemic has shown us the steps to facing the Climate Emergency. Just as we learnt that first step for managing the pandemic was to stop the problem growing by limiting spread with physical distancing we know that our first step in controlling our carbon emissions is to stop burning...
Healthcare accounts for 5-7% of global carbon emissions, which equate to approximately all or the emissions from either Japan or Russia. A large part of those carbon emissions come from the manufacturing of medical devices and pharmaceuticals (‘Procurement’). This provides tremendous opportunities for us to drive how the medical technology industry designs and produces these goods in order to reduce carbon emissions. We must take responsibility for the entire life-cycle of what we consume in the...
Social inequalities mean that many patients without access to universal healthcare are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis given that their chronic health conditions are exacerbated but they cannot afford to seek treatment. Additionally intergenerational inequality means that younger generations will be more adversely affected by the climate emergency, but at the same time are less likely to have a voice in decisions effecting the actions we take now. It is essential that both the ...
The Coda community identified the Climate Emergency as the greatest threat to global health and we have good reason to be alarmed for both our patients and our children. There is good scientific evidence that the climate crisis could be catastrophic. The global healthcare community comprises over 60 million people and together we can make a difference. Global CO2 emissions continue to rise resulting in more energy trapped in our atmosphere and putting us on the verge of a tipping point. We must ...

Drug abuse is a worldwide problem responsible for a considerable number of deaths, functional dependence, and healthcare costs. Use continues to rise throughout the world and synthetic drugs have been added to the repertoire alongside cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. The acute intoxicating effects on the brain are well known; however, an understanding of the neurological complications is important in the acute period to guide workup and treatment. This panel is in the SMACC Brain pre-confer...

Cooling the severely brain injured patient in the intensive care unit is far from straight forward. Who should be cooled and when? What do you call a fever, and is this the same as the bedside nurse? When should we start, and when should we not? What would make you stop? This talk will explore the cooling journey of a critically unwell brain injured patient in a neuroscience intensive care unit. It will expose all the potential challenges, questions and pitfalls of cooling at the bedside, and su...
Health care providers who phantom or "quick look" ultrasound examine are causing the viral spread of an epidemic, which we can minimize by responsibly utilizing ultrasound inpatient care and by implementing the coaching that artificial intelligence provides. Current trends in point-of-care ultrasound and how the health care provider community can respond are described: 1. Phantom or‚ Quick look‚ scanning. 2. Faculty credentialing and learning ultrasound. 3. Artificial intelligence technology in ...

Public interest media is vital. However, there is a crisis in public interest journalism and it is not new, but some believe the pandemic may be an extinction event for this discipline. Global media power and wealth have become concentrated into a handful of tech giants. This concentration of power and its’ inherent biases not only poses a threat to public interest journalism but also to global health through medical misinformation. This dystopian concept is rapidly becoming reality and perhaps ...
We can have all the evidence in the world in healthcare but at the heart of everything we do and every decision we make there is ‘us’. The Pandemic has seen an incredibly accelerated understanding of Covid19, a virus none of us had heard of before January 2020, but it has seen a change in how Evidenced Based Medicine (EBM) is processed and presented. The ‘E’ continues to represent ‘Evidence’ but the ‘B’ has become ‘Belief’ and the ‘M’ is now ‘Media’. Under the pressure of the pandemic we in heal...
We often associate Indigenous cultures with a deep understanding of nature rather than computing or AI. However, deep learning, connected learning and relationships are integral to both AI and indigenous learning. Perhaps indigenous people are the future of AI. It is essential that we bring groups together to design AI. Indigenous cultures walk in multiple worlds and cross many generations. These perspectives are different but often not represented in universities curriculums. Indigenous learnin...
Over the last 5 years there has actually been a confluence of a few different historical threats. We’ve had health data being increasingly digitalised and we’ve had the proliferation of accessible massive scale computing, both of which have un-locked a technique developed in the early 80’s called deep learning, which is really good at pattern recognition over large data sets. Key trends in the last year include the first randomised clinical trials in the clinical application of AI in health, the...
