Stamford Hospital Trauma Symposium
Program Schedule:
The Southwest Connecticut Trauma Symposium is designed to review state-of-the-art
information about the diagnosis and management of acutely injured trauma patients.
The Symposium provides a mix of standard-of-care principles along with what’s

physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals who provide care for trauma
patients.
Goals and Objectives:
The participants of this conference will be able:
• To review indications for noninvasive positive pressure, to review parameters for success and to
determine when to give up use of positive pressure

signs and symptoms of Compassion Fatigue, to explain the difference between Compassion Fatigue

avoid Burnout
• To understand the challenges of burn resuscitation, to understand competing priorities in the
combined burn trauma patient and to recognize some developing innovations in burn care
• To review nature of blast and high velocity penetrating injuries, to examine physiology and
treatment of wounds in deployed and hospital settings and to discuss evolution of protection and
intervention for military wounds
• To review the events of the Boston Marathon Bombings, to focus on the “Direct-to-OR” patients,
to understand the factors leading to zero mortality after reaching the hospital and to review lessons
learned from that day
• To articulate the historical development of TEMS, to compare TEMS utilization by Law
enforcement and the military, to discuss the ethics of physician participation in a tactical team and
to describe the outcomes of physician participation in TEMS with regard to suspect and bystander
outcomes, law enforcement officer outcomes, and cost and suitability for widespread utilization
• To review common facial traumatic injuries, to discuss treatment principles in facial trauma and to
propose contemporary solutions to complex facial injuries
