Conference highlights
Day 1:
Keynote speaker: Ant Williams, World Record Holding Freediver
Ant is a business psychologist and world champion freediver, who draws on his academic knowledge and his experience as an elite athlete to teach mental toughness, creating a performance mindset & redefining your limits. Ant has recently worked with Australian paramedics to support their performance under pressure, teaching first responders how to discover their ‘disaster personality’ then learn how to control their emotional response to make effective decisions under pressure.
Day 2 (Face to face presentations in Hobart):
- Don’t cut the LVAD wire – an overview presented by Lucy Oatley - As cardiac care continues to improve, increasing numbers of patients are being managed with Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) as a bridge to heart transplant and are highly likely to require paramedic assistance at some point in their care trajectory. VAD patients have specific requirements for transport and treatment that differ significantly from regular ambulance presentations. Even when their reason for ambulance attendance is not related to the VAD, the consideration of the logistical requirements of patients fitted with a VAD remains crucial to safe treatment and transport. This session aims to provide an overview of the physiological differences, key management points, resuscitation decisions and transport considerations for these complex patients
