Workshops
Cyclical Workshops
EMINDIA24 brings you a slew of workshops focused on skills relevant to Emergency Medicine clinicians. Learn from our team of experts, on your journey towards developing your own expertise.
For details regarding the registration process, please see our registration page. You may register in one or more of the workshops from those on offer below. These will run in 2-hour cyclical slots through the day, and you will receive further information about your slot allocation by email, closer to the event.
POCUS – Shock in EM
2-Hour Workshop
Shock is a common condition encountered in Emergency Departments. The clinical presentation in a shocked patient may overlap despite different etiologies, which require different treatment strategies. Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is gaining popularity as a diagnostic adjunct to aid the process of differentiating etiologies thereby guiding management decisions.
While we do not need to become expert echocardiographers, POCUS echo in EM is an important adjunct to add to our repertoire of skills as recognized by the global community of emergency clinicians. Our team of emergency medicine experts teach you a systemic approach for bedside echocardiography.
POCUS – Echo in EM
2-Hour Workshop
Bedside echocardiography in Emergency Medicine has been a game-changing intervention which guides early diagnosis and management of major presentations to emergency departments such as patients with pericardial effusion or tamponade, or massive pulmonary embolism with right heart strain, among others. These are differentials which historically posed the challenge of delays in imaging with serious consequences in administering timely interventions.

Emergent Thoracotomy and Decompression
2-Hour Workshop
Emergent Thoracotomy is a procedure performed in the Emergency Department for patients with serious intrathoracic injuries. There are few situations and indications where this procedure is performed in patients with thoracic trauma, intended for direct visualization and temporizing measures such as decompression of traumatic pericardial tamponade and hemorrhage control. This temporizing procedure in the ED might very well be a life-saving intervention allowing the patient to survive to theatre for definitive management.
In this workshop, you will learn the indications, relevant anatomy, and steps to performing Emergent Thoracotomy in Emergency Medicine.
Bronchoscopy in EM
2-Hour Workshop
Flexible bronchoscopy is an important, rapid, bedside diagnostic and potentially therapeutic procedure relevant to emergency airway management. Once difficult to access due financial considerations of reusable bronchoscopes, disposable flexible bronchoscopes are available from several manufacturers which are more affordable.
It has long since been used in critical care settings to guide diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the tracheobronchial tree. Airway management is a key clinical skill for emergency physicians, and flexible bronchoscopy used in the right patients at the right time can be potentially life-saving. It is time for us to add this tool in our EM armamentarium.
Skills Mela
Skills Mela
INDUSEM along with the Emergency Medicine Association in India, and Academic College of Emergency Experts in India developed a novel Shock Resuscitation Training Program to address the need for an approach to shocked patients presenting to the emergency department.
Shock presents with symptoms and signs with significant overlap despite resulting from a variety of etiologies. There are courses which focus on specific etiologies such as trauma resuscitation courses, or cardiac resuscitation courses. Further, these are conducted differently for adult and pediatric patients. These courses, thereby, have significant overlap of information.
There was a lack of a unifying approach to resuscitation in shock, particularly where etiologies coexist. For instance, managing a patient with polytrauma following a stroke while driving, or a fall down a flight of stairs following an MI. As EM clinicians, we are expert resuscitationists. This program focuses on understanding the concepts of resuscitation, with two components.
- Online Shock Resuscitation Theory
- Skills Mela (focuses on practical skills)
The Online Shock Resuscitation Theory will need to be completed prior to attending the Skills Mela practical component and requires separate registration on the online portal.
The Skills Mela focuses solely on the practical skills applicable in resuscitation scenarios. This is conducted during the annual EMINDIA conference, with the expectation that candidates will have completed the theory component prior to attendance.
Please visit the conference registration page for further details on the registration process for both components.
