About the Conference

The EMS Region III Conference is an annual event that began as an EMS Trade Show in 1982 and transformed over the past 37 years into one of the premier conferences in this part of the country. This will be the 22

nd year the conference has been held in beautiful

Ruidoso, New Mexico.

This year we are expecting a crowd of over 900 fire, EMS, police, dispatchers, nurses, and physicians from New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and Colorado, along with speakers and exhibitors from across the country.

Join us for Pre-conference workshops April 22-25 and our core conference program April 26–28. This year’s conference is designed to satisfy all of the State and National Registry CE requirements by offering pre-conference CE renewal packages, combined with a reduced core conference rate, for those participants trying to complete all required CE requirements at one venue.

The conference also includes an exhibit hall packed with vendors, from New York to California, displaying the newest in products and equipment. The conference will offer a combination of excellent national and local speakers providing the very best in EMS and rescue training. Training that will enhance your skills, allow you to view the “cutting edge” of emergency equipment and build better relationships with other healthcare professionals.

This conference is made possible by the efforts of the EMS Region III staff, Board of Directors, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors and numerous volunteers.

EMS Region III Conference Friday Night

“Cookout”

Sponsored by

Over the years we have found that there is no better way to get together with friends than a Friday Night “Cookout”. There is something about the smell of cooking over wood and charcoal that brings summer time to any season. This year starting at 06:00 pm it’s going to be steaks and chicken on the grill, and don’t forget the beans and potatoes, so get ready for some great food, mingling and entertainment. After the cookout, hang out and visit or dance to your favorite

songs courtesy of The Big FOG Music Machine. We will try to shut it down by 10:00pm so that you can get some sleep, or for you night owls, you can enjoy the night life of Ruidoso. Your name badge will get you into the “Cookout.” Extra tickets are available for purchase at the registration desk.

It is important to note when selecting the best method of obtaining CEs for re-licensure, that New Mexico no longer requires a traditional refresher course, but simply a minimum number of CE hours to renew your license.

Emergency Medical Dispatcher: 20 Hours

Emergency Medical Dispatch 10 Hours

Medical Emergencies 10 Hours

EMD-Instructor: 20 Hours

Emergency Medical Dispatch 10 Hours


Must maintain NM EMT license

Verification of Good Standing through EMD Training Program

First Responder: 20 Hours

Preparatory / Operations 2 Hours

Airway, Respiration, & Ventilation 3 Hours

Cardiovascular Emergencies 2 Hours


Trauma Emergencies 4 Hours

Special Considerations 5 Hours (2 hours must be Pediatric)

EMT Basic: 40 Hours







EMT Intermediate: 50 Hours







Paramedic: 60 Hours







Their goal is to have a straightforward process of license renewal, while still requiring documentation of the maintenance and improvement of each licensee’s knowledge base.

The New Mexico EMT license renewal process is now similar to that of the National Registry of EMT’s National Continued Competency Program (NCCP) model for each level of licensure. By meeting the New Mexico requirements for license renewal, one should meet those of the National Registry, however please visit the NR website to assure your compliance with NR specific requirements. www.nremt.org

Six EMS CE categories are accepted by the New Mexico EMS Bureau and a seventh category, Emergency Medical Dispatch, was added to address the specific requirements of the EMD and EMD-I level of licensure:

Emergency Medical Dispatch

Preparatory/Operations

Airway, Respiration & Ventilation

Cardiovascular

PHTLS picks up where other educational programs leave off. This course focuses on how to identify, stabilize, treat, and transport trauma patients with the highest level of care, which gives them the greatest chance of survival. Studies indicate patients have a greater chance of survival following a traumatic incident when their healthcare providers have taken a PHTLS course. PHTLS is designed to provide the practicing pre-hospital responder with a specific body of knowledge of pre-hospital assessment and management of the trauma patient. PHTLS is a continuing education program and contains information that may be review for some or all course participants.

Tactical Emergency Combat Course (TECC) ........................................................................... $300.00



Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) is a set of evidenced-based and best practice trauma care guidelines for civilian high-threat pre-hospital environments. The TECC guidelines are built upon the critical medical lessons learned by US and allied military forces over the past 15 years of conflict and codified in the doctrine of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). Using the military TCCC guidelines as a starting point, the Committee of TECC creates the civilian high threat medical guidelines through a process of literature research, evidence evaluation, expert discussion, and civilian best practices review. The TECC guidelines are built upon the foundations of TCCC but are different to meet the unique needs of the civilian medical and operational environments. The differences address civilian specific language, provider scope of practice, population, civilian liability, civilian mission and operational constraints, logistics, and resource acquisition. This course utilizes these guidelines to provide appropriate instruction to civilian first responders. This class minimizes lecture time to provide the greatest amount time in skills application.

“Stop the clock, instead of racing the clock” A new look at prehospital trauma care. ......... $25.00

Presented by: Trans Aero MedEvac

½ Day - Thursday (Class Starts: 08:00am)

In 1960’s Dr. R Adams Cowley of Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Shock coined phrase the “Golden Hour”, in where highest likelihood that prompt medical and surgical treatment will prevent death. Since then, we in EMS have been racing the clock in the hopes of better outcomes in our patients. What if instead of racing the clock, we could stop it? This workshop will look are some current and innovative care that can stop the clock on scene. We will review what kills patients in trauma and what we can do to change that. Included in this workshop will be discussion on Blood Product and TXA Administration, Tube and Finger Thoracostomy, Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA), Pericardiocentesis, Field Amputations, and Resuscitative Thoracotomy. All these procedures are being done today in the US, both and other countries, civilian and military. The current research one these procedures will be presented.

Hocus POCUS, Prehospital Ultrasound ..................................................................................... $50.00

Presented by: Trans Aero MedEvac

½ Day - Thursday (Class Starts: 01:00pm)

Pre-Hospital (PH) Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) has been around for almost 20 years. However, very few EMS, ground or air, have implemented their use. The lack of use of POCUS may have been the cost of devices and the question of the value in patient care, if the data you get is not going to change your care then why bother. Today, POCUS devices are becoming affordable, but the question still remains on their usefulness. This workshop will explore the utility of PH POCUS. POCUS can direct your care in the patient with PEA. Drive better decision on the resuscitation of the hypotensive patient. Aid in transport and care decision of the trauma patient. Assist in the insertion of vascular devices. These topics plus the basic concepts of POCUS and hands on time POCUS devices will be included. Class Size is limited.

March Out Of The Darkness: The Anatomical Reality of Emergent Care Presented by Scotty Bolleter

This lecture takes a unique, human cadaver-based approach “beneath the skin” to sequential define the lifesaving acronym M A R C H (Massive Hemorrhage, Airway, Respirations, Circulation and Hypothermia). This treatment centric session is designed to specifically uncover key problems, while illuminating current mitigation strategies for our patient’s most lethal challenges. While M A R C H likely originated in the United Kingdom, it was rapidly adopted by our nation’s special operations teams, and subsequently by emergency medicine providers worldwide. This simplistic approach for the gravely injured has a history in combat care but essential applications far behind the battlefield.

“Heart Alert”! Rapid STEMI Recognition Presented by Stephen Rahm

Intended for providers who possess both basic and advanced multi-lead ECG interpretation skills, this presentation takes the audience from rapid recognition of the “in your face” STEMI to the less obvious ECG indicators of acute coronary occlusion that rely upon a keen eye for reciprocal changes and a knowledge of ECG patterns that are considered to be STEMI equivalents. Based on the leads in which ST/T wave changes are noted, the provider should be able to anticipate where the culprit artery is, thus allowing him or her to anticipate prehospital treatment needs. This presentation features numerous multi-lead ECG tracings—from not so difficult to rather challenging—along with associated patient presentations and pre- and post-cardiac catheterization images.

Dealing With Precious Pain – Pediatric Trauma Presented by Stephen Rahm

Dealing with Precious Pain: Pediatric Trauma. If you get anxious at the notion of caring for a critically injured child, remember this simple concept: the general principles of trauma management are the same for adults and children. However, the emotional impact on providers—along with the relative lack of exposure to pediatric trauma—has the ability to tax even the most experienced clinician. This presentation explores the anatomic and physiologic differences between adults and children, and how those differences directly relate to the interventions that critical pediatric trauma patients often require. We will then discuss the implications of smaller physiologic reserves, the pathophysiology of a number of serious injuries, and the most effective mitigation strategies.

Just Stop the Pain…Please!! – Pre-hospital Pain Management Presented by Kyle Thornton

Alleviating pain is a basic EMS concept. All healthcare professionals have an obligation to provide a level of care compared to a competent healthcare professional in their field of practice while acting within their scope of practice. Despite a wealth of information we have gained in the field of pain physiology and pain management, there is still evidence of inadequate management of acute pain in pre-hospital care. In the field of EMS, evidence indicates a failure to properly assess and treat pain. There is also a documented reluctance to administer opioids to patients in the absence of objective signs such as deformity possibly even race.

What’s WRONG with the 5 RIGHTS? Presented by Mark Warth

Medication errors account for over 400,000 death a year and is the number one medical error in medicine. The administration of medications may seem simple, but in actuality is a fairly complex process ranging anywhere from ten to twenty steps depending on the drug. It is our professional responsibility to ensure safe delivery of a beneficial and potentially dangerous administration of a medication. If this was not difficult enough, we mist must be aware of basic human nature which can include bias, amplification of distractions, and the creation of shortcuts which can lead to critical errors as well as environmental challenges amplifying the risk of errors. The question brought up through this lecture is, “if the 5 rights truly worked, then why so many medication errors?” This talk we will discuss why it’s failed practice and how to implement a news standard of practice to ensure safe medication administration.


C28 Managing the Opioid Overdose Without Naloxone Presented by Nikki Arana

This talk will review how opioid medications actually "kill" our patients in the clinical arena.

The list of medications for the EMT may be small, however the medications are vital for patient care and outcome. Using case presentations, we will go through classification – actions – indications – contraindications- side effects – dose – how supplied - route – interactions of the meds you will administer or assist to increase patient outcomes

The Fentanyl Craze: Fact Vs Fiction Presented by Stephen Rahm

Early in the onset of what is now an unprecedented opioid epidemic, information was disseminated to public safety officials that more recent research and evidence has concluded is simply not true – specifically, how to protect yourself against dermal or inhalation exposure to fentanyl and its many analogues, including carfentanil. This presentation reviews fentanyl and fentanyl analogues (including carfentanil), as well as how these drugs have—at least in the past—created confusion among providers regarding the best practices in self-protection. You will find—perhaps to your surprise—that all the hype surrounding provider protection boils down to reasonable judgement and common sense. Note: this presentation is NOT intended to “downplay” the potentially dangerous nature of these drugs, but rather to arm you with the most current, evidence-based, practice recommendations.

Acid Base Derangements Presented by Steven Huisman

This presentation reviews the physiology and pathophysiology associated with acid base balance. The discussion is intended to help providers feel more comfortable with the material and provide “tricks of the trade” to help instructors effectively teach the material in the classroom. We will tie this information into common ideas that we talk about in the classroom, like shock, DKA, hypoventilation and capnography. Lastly, we will learn some techniques to make sure student thrive when taking the NREMT exam and faced with acid base questions.

If It Happened Today….. Presented by James Williams

Have you ever wondered if having today’s prehospital response and capabilities would have changed the outcome of some of the most famous (or infamous) public figures deaths? We all know that trauma care has evolved over the past several decades, however, with what we know today versus the care some of these individuals received back then, would the outcome have changed? Attendees will review several famous traumatic deaths and the care they received, compare it to how we would treat it today, and determine if their outcome would have been different if a “Time Machine Ambulance” would have existed.

“A Chat With The Chief” Presented by Kyle Thornton

We all know that EMS response – especially in the rural and frontier areas of New Mexico – struggles to survive. The all too real problems of dwindling volunteerism, rising costs, and diminishing financial resources have put the very availability of EMS at risk. We also know that change is inevitable. In our EMS world change is always around the corner…we only need to wait for it. The good news is that for New Mexico, it all seems positive. Join Kyle Thornton, Chief of the EMS Bureau, as he covers what to expect in changes to licensure renewals and the Scope of Practice. He will also address upcoming topics including, REPLICA (Interstate Compacts) and other national issues and discussions of interest.

Suffer the Patient is an eye opening, laugh inducing, roller coaster ride through emergent patient assessment. Through interactive lecture diced with actual scene events, this program will change your approach, evaluation, treatment and documentation.
