This day-long seminar starts with a dispatch call of a scenario occurring and from this point forward, participants are invited to guide this patient from his initial treatment at the scene through the first 24 hours of his care in the emergency department, operative suites, and intensive care unit. How much fluid should the patient receive in the first hour? What laboratory and radiological exams should be ordered? What ventilator settings would be appropriate? These, as well as numerous other decisions, are driven by participants who vote anonymously using their smartphones. The results of the votes are immediately displayed on the screen and the case study moves forward based on the majority vote.
