Back in March 2014 I had the pleasure of speaking at SMACC Gold in Australia. The whole thing was great fun and I’m sure you’re all aware it’s going to Chicago in May 2015 so be sure to be there. … Continue reading →

FOAMcast will be back shortly with regular core content-cutting edge mash ups; however, we wanted to take a moment to focus on a conference that inadvertently created FOAMcast...and is coming to Chicago in June 2015.  SMACC - Chicago (#smaccUS) June 23-26, 2015. Registration begins Nov 5, 2014 There are too many core content lectures to choose from and they're available on iTunes. Our favorites are listed on FOAMcast.org and here we review: Dr. Haney Mallemat - The Art and Science of Fluid Responsiveness Dr. Scott Weingart - Sepsis in New York: Our First 15,000 Patients Dr. Cliff Reid - Resuscitation Dogmalysis Dr. Rob Mac Sweeney - ARDS: An Evidence Based Update Timing, Tribes, and STEMIs  

Anand ‘Swami' Swaminathan is an Emergency Physician in New York. He is one of the co-creators of EM Lyceum, and a major contributor to LITFL.com. Swami is a skeptic of the benefit of adrenaline in cardiac arrest. This is his brief response to Scott Weingart's Cutting Edge Intra-Arrest Care at smaccGOLD and Weingart's subsequent discussion about intra-arrest meds with Rob Mac Sweeney on EMCrit.

The RAGE team are joined by many friends to recap the smaccGOLD experience: Rich Levitan (@airwaycam) Scott Weingart (@emcrit) Haney Mallemat (@CriticalCareNow) Michaela Cartner (@mjcartner) Karel Habig (@karelhabig) Chris Nickson (@precordialthump) John Hinds (@docjohnhinds) Cliff Reid (@cliffreid) Mark Wilson (@markhwilson) Oli Flower (@oliflower)

The First SMACC-Back from SMACCgold

My favorite part of SMACCgold; buy some Cricolol

This podcast, How I felt at SMACCGold, some thoughts,mostly just musings on how good the conference was hopefully I convince one or two people to attend next year. certainly a paramedic appropriate conference.

Vic Brazil opens smaccGOLD with a powerful insight into how conflict between "tribes" in our everyday working environment can adversely impact upon patient care.

The third of the three part literature review extravaganza with Chris Nickson and Rob Mac Sweeney. This time, it's the best of the rest...

The utterly brilliant and inspiring Hills family; Tamara Hills wins the SMACC PK Oscar and breaks hearts while spreading knowledge. Have a look at this: http://www.smacc.net.au/2014/03/17-minutes/

Softly spoken. Well balanced. As an anaesthetist and intensivist you might be forgiven for thinking that Dr John Hinds would be a little risk averse. But not if you’d been to his utterly hilarious talk about madness and mayhem on the very small roads of Ireland. John Hinds is a jack of all trades. I like those kinds of jacks. This is a brilliant example of the sort of extremely cool thing that you can do with a medical, nursing or paramedic qualification. John carries about 25Kg strapped to himself and sends himself along stone walled irish lanes at eye-watering speeds. John puts his life at risk in order to take a little risk out of one of the worlds most dangerous sports. He doesn't see his riding as a risky thing. Why? Because he races too. When he is an ambulance on a 4 cylinder rocket he shaves a few percentage points of the level of performance that he applies when he is actually racing rather than being the doctor! So apparently that means its easy for him. The guys he races after on his ‘chase’ bike (or races ahead of on his ‘race’ bike) become his friends. And being one of the most dangerous sports some of these friends end up being his patients. But it’s about more than just the bike. The jack of all trades status was betrayed by the fact that he spoke on 4 different subjects on the day I caught up with him. As John says; “I’ll talk about anything.” Available for weddings and bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs and funerals and a variety of events involving crazy adrenaline sports; John Hinds is “yer man.” @DocJohnHinds Just don't expect him to break into a sweat doing any/all of it.

Jellybean #28; Liz Crowe Swearing In The Face Of Death. Brilliant (Parental advisory!) at SMACC gold by Doug Lynch @TheTopEnd

Jellybean #27; Andy Neill of Emergency Medicine Ireland at Smacc GOLD by Doug Lynch @TheTopEnd

Tim is what is known in Australia as a Larrikin. Defined by the Oxford dictionary as “A boisterous, often badly behaved young man” or “A person with apparent disregard for convention; a maverick”. Tims not that young so I am going with the second one. Tim is, like many great Australians, not Australian (by birth). He is irreverent. He uses “colourful” language. He is a stirrer. He can’t help himself. I can’t help but like him. And that's not just because he has an adventure sport alter ego; http://ki-yak.blogspot.com.au (Nice blog site title.) So out in “the bush” in Australia has many flavours; its not just Red Dirt, for Tim it's the cold Southern Ocean. Tim was born in England. He is one of the small number of doctors on Kangaroo Island and thus one of those remote doctors that has “Nowhere to run and Nowhere to hide.” Our Tim has had courted controversy what with his “soft, strong and very long” Fellowship of the Ring Certificate. (You’ll understand when you listen.) Idealists! Don't you hate them. Tim and I got into a natter and for whatever reason we started to organise each others death. (I mean “end-of-life” planning.)

Jellybean #24; Damien Roland and NHS Change Day at SMACC GOLD at SMACC GOLD, Gold Coast, Australia. by Doug Lynch @TheTopEnd

Injectable Orange. That's an interesting one. Jesse Spurr is one of the FOAMed/FOANed talents that I have had the pleasure to meet through all this social Social Media stuff. With an interesting past in sport, sports science, Jesse hit ICU nursing with a bang and became a simulation trainer really very quickly. (He must have been good at it.) Jesse’s site www.injectableorange.com started out as a journal. On a Wordpress blogging website. It’s more than that now. Jesse has an interest in cross germinating multi-disciplinary education. And an interest in the changing dynamics of interactions between different professions. And an interest in the curious nature of nursing training and career courses. And in the phenomenon of “N=1” as an influence of thinking in medical teams. He has a lot of interests. We natter a bit about how the hell you get into this sort of thing and a few other nurse blog start-ups. If all that seems like a bit too much hassle you could be a guest contributor on Jesse’s site. What a lovely bloke.

SMACC! More SMACC. There are 10 Jellybeans from SMACC Gold on the way. There are some gems in there. One of the first is with Simon Carley. @emcrit of http://www.emcrit.org is innovation. @cliffreid of http://www.resus.me.com is inspiration. @socraticEM is poise. Simon Carley of @EMManchester and http://www.stemlynsblog.org is balance. Unashamed bro-love warning; Simon is fantastic. There is valid criticism within Critical Care and #FOAMed of the rock and rollers, the emotive speakers, the super aggressive interventionalists. Its worth noting that people like Simon are keeping a lid on the whole bubbling pot of wonderful madness. First you have to sweep the floor as @karimbrohi trauma.org puts it. Check out Simons post on the super good St. Emlyns Blog about marginal gains, published on the 19th of March while I sat beside him listening to a great session on palliative care. He listened to the speakers, was repeatedly interrupted by me and banged out a chunky blog post. See? Some men can multi-task! Simon Carley; I am not worthy. I have a Jellybean coming with the Prof but I know it doesn’t do him and his work justice. So I’ll be Beanboozling him again and trying to delve into the multiple other aspects of him and his work. “It’s time to sweat the small stuff.” It’s not all about airways and helicopters. There are some issues turning everything up to 11.

Cohen talk at a Brisbane Intensive Care Network meeting on 'The Problem with Sepsis Trials'. Get excited to hear him speak at smaccGOLD next week! For more information about state based ICN events, check out www.intensivecarenetwork.com and head to 'Regional Networks'.

SMACC Gold is March 18-21st on the Gold Coast of Australia--best ED conference you will ever attend

Richard Levitan is widely regarded as the global master of the emergency airway.  And he's keynoting at SMACC GOLD. He was recently in Sydney, teaching on a cadaveric airways course with John Vassiliadis (of Simwars fame and mastermind behind EDWISE).  Rich talks about his global travels, his airways courses and his exciting new emergency surgical airway kit. John tells us about EDWISE, simulation and why he's pumped for SMACC GOLD. Harris provides entertainment whilst the hype for SMACC GOLD starts to swell.
