Exciting debate on SMR=spinal motion restriction. Can we throw out field use of the board and collar? Is it dogma vs evidence? Very exciting debate happening now in Day 2 of #acspcp2026 Presented by Dr. Tim Chizmar and Dr. Michael Millen @NAEMSP @Mdcotcom @ATSTrauma – at Baltimore, MD

Should you just put a tube in it?? – at Baltimore, MD

Thank you to all the trainees who participated in the critical care cases today! You guys took a lot of heat today from our panelists AND our audience and took it in stride. Great job and what a finale!!!

Does ECMO improve mortality in trauma? Not all trauma patients are alike = multidisciplinary teams that carefully consider the risks/benefits are key! Emily Esposito and Brandon Parker lead the debate at #acspcp2025

Incredible debate between Matt Vasquez and Jill Streams on whether preop CT is helpful in the patient that needs a trauma laparotomy. When you think you know they need OR do you really know? What if they're unstable? What's the cutoff for unstable? #acspcp2025 #7minCT

At PCP, we love making our speakers debate against their areas of expertise 😉 Carrie Sims (CON) and Justin Richards (PRO) debate the merits of early pressors in sepsis management. Who starts pressors within the 1st 3 hours? #acspcp2025
