From ECHONooga, Dan Rauh and Bill Hinckley bring us their talks on bleeding.
Dan Rauh will discuss
coagulopathy/anticoagulants.
Do you understand the difference
between a NOAC, VKA, INR, 4 factor PCC AND FFP? Do the
concepts of intrinsic and extrinsic pathway trigger a migraine? Not
anymore!!! Who, when and how
to reverse will be covered as well as the most important
question....”How do I do that?!”
Dr. Bill Hinckley will bring his talk, Master of the Massive UGIB.
We’re experts in managing
hemorrhagic shock from trauma, and we know that in bleeding
trauma
patients, the care that we bring to
the patient is at least as important as the rapid transport
we
provide to the Level 1 Trauma
Center. I get stoked about massive UGIBs in the same way that we
all
get fired up to take care of that
MVC patient with severe TBI and florid shock. Why? Because I
know
there’s very little the accepting GI
doc and intensivist have that my partner and I don’t have in
terms
of definitive care for that massive
UGIB patient. I know, and you will too, that in a short period
of
time we can have a huge impact on
that patient’s morbidity and mortality. And because I’m
anosmic,
so the aroma of melena doesn’t
bother me in the least. Even if you’re not anosmic, I think I can
get
you pumped up about taking care of
massive UGIBs too.
You will hear a Moment of Silence during Dr. Hinckley's talk. Here's why: All classes were paused for a moment of silence at 1120 in remembrance of Duke Lifeflight Crew Crystal Sollinger, Kristopher Harrison, Jeff Burke, and Mary Bartlett.
