On behalf of the CAEP 2014 Conference Organizing Committee, we are very pleased to welcome
you to this year’s CAEP Annual Conference, Capitalizing on Excellence, in Ottawa, Ontario.
The Conference Organizing Committee has developed a compelling program with something of
interest to everyone. Our program balances information on latest practices and highlights
leadership from many talented emergency physicians. The plenaries will address issues of patient
safety, engagement in public policy and commitment to education – all delivered by role models
with astonishing dedication and talent. In short, the program is designed to not only meet your
educational needs but to motivate and inspire you.
The scientific program tracks include Cardiology, Dermatology, Diagnostic Imaging, Education at
three stages – Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Continuing Professional Development, ECG, EMS,
How to Run Your ED Better, Neurology, Oncology & Infectious Disease, Pain Management, Pediatrics,
Resuscitation, Toxicology and Trauma. Again this year, the Simulation Olympiad promises to be
popular with the competition featuring representation of teams from across the country.
Our integrated and dedicated Research Tracks will showcase how your colleagues are generating
new knowledge that will impact care of our patients. This year’s research will be highlighted not
only within the Research Track but within a portion of each Track, highlighting some of the
outstanding accepted abstracts. We look forward to a stimulating environment that facilitates
active discussion of cutting edge research from across the country.
All participants in CAEP’s premier event will also have the opportunity to see and feel the latest in
emergency medicine technologies and products. Please support our sponsors and exhibitors by
visiting them in the exhibit hall where lunch and refreshment breaks will be served.
Our social program offers a range of activities where you can relax, have fun, get some exercise,
mingle with old friends and meet some new colleagues. We start the Welcome Reception on
Sunday evening at the National Gallery of Canada. Our free afternoon on Monday offers time to
explore the city on your own or participate in an Ottawa River cruise or bike tour. And then, finish
your Monday afternoon off with the Fun Run along the Rideau Canal. That evening, don’t miss
Docs That Rock in the heart of the Byward Market. And, to top it all off, join us Tuesday evening for
A Taste of Canada Dinner at the Fairmont Château Laurier - you won’t want to miss this!
Welcome to CAEP 2014! We look forward to seeing you and hope that you find the conference not
only educationally stimulating, but also lots of fun!

Annual Conference
Welcome from the CAEP President
Welcome from the caep president
It is what you learn when you don’t have to that determines what you
will be when you can’t help it…
— Oscar Wilde
In the first place God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made
Aussies….(sort of)
— Mark Twain
Dr. Ian Stiell and Dr. Eric Clark have put a fantastic Conference together for you to attend
in the coming days. As the Conference Committee and Scientific Committee Chair
respectively, they, along with the other Organizing Committee members put in countless
hours of work in developing an exciting and balanced program. Ian himself has taken it
upon himself to be one of our plenary speakers as well, so I hope you will check out his
talk with Mel Herbert on Tuesday morning.
Our annual event continues to grow by leaps and bounds. In fact, we have grown so
much that our conference must now be showcased at convention centres as we have outgrown the space available at hotels. We are
now big time. For a second straight year CAEP had a record number of abstracts submitted to present at this conference. Over 250 will
be presented in various formats during CAEP 2014. These researchers are scary good. Emergency residents are becoming so educated that
ignorance will become a novelty. I will belong to the select few (sort of Will Rogers). Our Social Media Wall is again present this year so be
sure to use the #CAEP14 handle when tweeting so other delegates can see what your are saying about the conference. We also have a
Conference App available to delegates to help plan their time in Ottawa.
Our conference could not be the great event it is without the support of our sponsors. It is their generosity that helps makes CAEP’s
Annual Conference the premier research, education, and networking event for Canadian emergency physicians. I would like to thank
this year’s Symposium Premiere Lunch Sponsor BMS/Pfizer Canada Alliance as well as our Symposia sponsors AstraZeneca and Bayer
HealthCare Pharmaceuticals. In addition, we would like to recognize Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) Ltd. as a Conference Sponsor,
Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals as the Conference App Sponsor and MD Physician Services/Canadian Medical Association as the
Social Media Wall Sponsor. The support provided by these companies along with the conference Exhibitors is truly appreciated.
I’d also like to thank each of you for attending our conference. Shake a hand, have a drink, make a friend. CAEP is where you connect.
As I said before, we continue to grow and this year we hope to have over 1000 people in attendance. Dedication and support like this is
what makes our organization great.
The above quote from Mark Twain is just to settle a bet that Mel won’t read this. And I am counting on you not to tip him off. Yes it is
true and it is why you are here. The “Melvus” of sheep loving Aussie descent is here at CAEP and - as he would likely say - this week we
are going to “bust some learning at ya”. On Tuesday, It will be he and Ian Stiell, mano-a-mano, educator vs. researcher, Yank-Aussie vs.
Canuck. It will make question period in the House of Commons look like child’s play. It will be memorable. Bundt cake memorable….
Bundt cake memorable with chocolate!
CAEP is where a small town doc, like myself, can rub shoulders with the best of the best.
The conference is my swan song as President. Back to being a nobody. Vera and gang….thanks. Really. To everyone else I would like
to say so long… and thanks for all the fish. I hope you have a blast in the Nation’s Capital!
Sincerely,
Bruce McLeod, MD, FRCPC
President, Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians (CAEP)

How to Make Research Succeed in Your Department
Saturday, May 31, 2014
12:00 – 16:00
The vision of the Academic Section is to promote high-quality
emergency patient care by conducting world-leading education
and research in emergency medicine. The 2014 Academic
Symposium will focus on research, led by panels with participation
from across Canada. For nearly a year, panels have met regularly
and addressed specific questions aimed at the overall objective of
making research succeed in your department. The results will be
presented as follows:
Achieving Excellence in Canadian Resident Research Dr. Lisa Calder and Panel
A survey of Canadian Emergency Medicine Program Directors and
a systematic review of emergency medicine resident research
programs will be discussed and help formulate recommendations
for the improvement of Canadian resident research programs.
How to Train and Develop Career Researchers
Dr. Jeff Perry and Panel
Through information gathered directly from Canadian career
researchers, as well as a systematic literature review, the panel
will present findings and initial recommendations addressing
the challenges and successes of emergency medicine
researchers in Canada.
Different Research Funding Models from Across Canada
Dr. Christian Vaillancourt and Panel
4
A list of resources will be made available, and personal (expert)
accounts of securing research funding will be described. A
discussion of challenges will inform a list of recommendations
for publication.
The Academic Symposium is an interactive experience.
Questions, feedback, and input are welcome, so join your
colleagues for the advancement of Canadian emergency
medicine research. Each of the panels will be publishing its
findings and recommendations in the Canadian Journal of

Challenge. Distance. Discovery Speaker: Ray Zahab
OCC - Canada Hall II
On November 1, 2006, former ‘pack a day smoker’ Ray Zahab and two friends set out to cross the Sahara
Desert on foot. Not your typical story of adventure, Ray Zahab’s story has so many lessons learned and
shared. Lessons that span hard life decisions, taking risks, believing in oneself, courage, compassion and
the unexpected rewards that life and change can bring.
Ray’s story chronicles the true-life eight-year journey from quitting smoking to dipping his hands into
the Red Sea after crossing the continent of Africa. The path chosen, the risks taken in pursuit of a dream,
and the resulting gift of awareness and knowledge of so many of life’s complicated questions. His
journey extends well beyond any physical or mental test. It was a journey of not only self-discovery, but
a journey of appreciation of others and their management of their circumstances, as well as unimaginable social, cultural and
environmental issues.
As a result, in 2008, Ray founded impossible2Possible (i2P), an organization that aims to inspire and educate through adventure
learning, inclusion and participation in expeditions. Today, outside of his own organization, Ray further dedicates potions of his time
as a proud member of the Board of Directors of the Ryan's Well Foundation, as an Athletic Ambassador/board member of the
ONExONE.org, and as a representative of SpreadTheNet. Ray was the recipient of the ONExONE Difference Award in 2007, and the
Torchbearers Award in 2010. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and Canadian Geographical Society. In spring 2012,
Ray was invited by H.E. Tsogtbaatar Damdin (Minister of Environment, Mongolia) to join their Internal Advisory Committee.
He continues today with life as an adventurer and as a volunteer with impossible2Possible. 'Running The Sahara' would begin a
lifelong journey of discovery. A journey of learning that some of the largest barriers to success are the ones we put upon ourselves.
By breaking these down, Ray has learned that we are all capable of achieving truly extraordinary things.

EM Educator Meets EM Researcher
Speakers: Dr. Mel Herbert and Dr. Ian Stiell
OCC - Canada Hall II
A well-known Canadian researcher and a well-known U.S. educator will square off to discuss made-in-Canada EM evidence and how

A New Health Care System for Canada: If We Know What We Want Why Can't We Make It a Reality?
Speakers: Jeffrey Simpson and Dr. Jeffrey Turnbull
OCC - Canada Hall II
Keynote Presentations & Awards
Dr. Ian Stiell, MSc, FRCPC is Professor and Chair, Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Ottawa;
Distinguished Professor and University Health Research Chair, University of Ottawa; Senior Scientist, Ottawa
Hospital Research Institute; and Emergency Physician, The Ottawa Hospital. He is internationally recognized
for his research in emergency medicine with a focus on the development of clinical decision rules and the
conduct of clinical trials involving acutely ill and injured patients treated by prehospital services and in
emergency departments. He is best known for the development of the Ottawa Ankle Rules and Canadian
C-Spine Rule, and as the Principal Investigator for the landmark OPALS Studies for prehospital care. Dr Stiell
is the Principal Investigator for 1of 3 Canadian sites in the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC) which
is funded by CIHR, NIH, HSFC, AHA, and National Defence Canada. Dr. Stiell is a Member of the Institute of
Medicine of the U.S. National Academies of Science.
Mr. Jeffrey Simpson and Dr. Jeffrey Turnbull debate the future of the health care system. Mr. Simpson examines the tenets of the
medicare system that Canadians cling to so passionately and breaks the silence about the huge changes and real choices that Canadians
face as detailed in his book, Chronic Condition. Dr. Turnbull recognizes that emerging from all of the discussions regarding the future
of a sustainable health care system for Canada is a consensus that health care must become more patient centered, with integrated,
team based service delivery models, with less emphasis on curative, acute care and a greater focus on health promotion and Chronic
Disease Management. This transformative change must incorporate different governance structures and delivery and funding models,
engagement and accountability, and dedicated focused leadership. Unfortunately, there is little consensus as to how to proceed
towards these goals. The discussion will attempt to provide a consensus as to how to proceed to health care sustainability.
Mr. Jeffrey Simpson has his fingers on the pulse of Canada – and the world. The Globe and Mail’s national
affairs columnist since 1984, Simpson is one of the few outstanding political writers who can express his
opinions as well spoken, as he can in writing. The author of seven books, including Chronic Condition: Why
Canada’s Health Care System Needs to be Dragged into the 21st Century, Simpson is a sought-after
speaker at major conferences and abroad.
Simpson has won all three of Canada’s major writing prizes: the Governor-General’s award for nonfiction
writing; the National Magazine Award for political writing; and the National Newspaper Award for columnwriting. He has also won the Hyman Solomon Award for excellence in public policy journalism, and the Arthur
Kroeger prize for public discourse.
Simpson was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2000 for his contribution to journalism. His views have been published in Saturday
Night, The Report on Business Magazine, the Journal of Canadian Studies and The Queen’s Quarterly.
Dr. Jeffrey Turnbull has pursued an interest in poverty and its effect on health nationally and internationally.
He is one of the founders and is currently the Medical Director of the Inner City Health Project for the homeless
in Ottawa. As well, he has been involved in education and health services initiatives to enhance community and
institutional capacity and sustainable development in Bangladesh, Africa and the Balkans. He is the recipient
of several national and international grants and awards, including the Order of Canada.
In addition to being a specialist in Internal Medicine, Dr. Turnbull was the Department Chair of Medicine at The
Ottawa Hospital and University of Ottawa from July 2001 to June 2008, a position he left to take on the role of Chief
of Staff. He also currently serves as Senior Medical Officer for Correction Services Canada. He remains committed
as a medical educator with special interests in “Poverty and Health Inequity” and associated health policy.

Trauma as a Non‐Surgical Disease: Who Should Care for
Trauma Patients?
Dr. John Tallon
Until recently ATLS™ has traditionally described “trauma” as a
surgical disease and explicitly ignored/downplayed the role of
emergency physicians in trauma care and trauma leadership
despite a significant maturation of the specialty of emergency
medicine. Conjointly, the resuscitative care of the trauma patient,
particularly the blunt trauma patient, has become less surgically
oriented and more resuscitative and diagnostically oriented with a
growing role for trauma teams led by emergency physicians and
with literature to support such a transformational change. This talk
will review those changes; the changing epidemiology of trauma
injury and associated surgery, the evolving role of the emergency
physician in trauma care (from prevention to inpatient care and
beyond) and will suggest leadership strategies to further enhance
and expand these roles for emergency physicians with a review of
the associated literature.

Show me the Evidence.....What Really Works for
Pediatric Pain
Dr. Samina Ali
Pediatric pain must be adequately assessed and treated during

We will review the (not yet published) 2014 Updated Guidelines for ED
Management of RAFF as recently approved by the Canadian
Cardiovascular Society. In particular, we will review the revised
strategies for ED physicians to ensure safe stroke prevention for their
RAFF patients. Discussions will include stratification of risk, warfarin
versus novel OACs, heparin, transesophageal echcocardiography, and
appropriate follow-up.

The Prescription Opioid Epidemic
Dr. David Juurlink
This session will discuss changes in opioid prescribing over the past 15
years and the ensuing public health consequences in North America.
The Troponin Confusion – Update on Chest Pain RiskStratification Literature
Dr. Eddy Lang
The arrival of high sensitivity troponins (hsTroponins) represent the
most significant, if not the most researched advance in cardiac
biomarkers for the assessment of patients with suspected ACS. This
assay holds the promise of earlier detection of myocardial injury as
well as more effective risk stratification and efficient rule-outs. It can
also wreak havoc in terms of false positives and ground your hospital
and CCU to a halt. This presentation will review the latest evidence
and offer strategies for mitigating this test’s limited specificity.
Bystander Naloxone: An EpiPen for Junkies?
Dr. Lisa Thurgur
One response to the epidemic of unintentional opioid overdose
deaths has been the development of “bystander naloxone” programs
that first appeared in San Francisco and Baltimore, and have since
spread to several jurisdictions in Canada. Proponents support putting
this familiar antidote and a delivery device into the hands of the first
responders who are likely to witness the respiratory arrest. Skeptics
wonder whether it provides a false sense of security, whether
evidence supporting its use can be extended beyond the injection
drug use setting, and whether malicious use might emerge.
Occult Cardiac Killers: A Brief Review of two Challenging
Clinical Entities - What You Need to Know so You Don't
Miss Them!
Dr. David Carr
This session will review the pitfalls and pearls clinicians need in
order to nail down the key diagnoses in cardiovascular
emergencies that present to the emergency department.

Massive Acetaminophen Overdose: Old Drug, New Toxidrome
Dr. Marco Sivilotti
While every emergency physician is familiar with acetaminophen,
even an old dog has new tricks. Very large ingestions (~1g/kg) can
cause coma, lactic acidosis, hyperglycemia and hypothermia
within hours, reflecting impaired ATP synthesis. This toxidrome of
“mitochondrial paralysis” is largely reversible with treatment, which
may include higher doses of acetylcysteine and hemodialysis.
32
Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome
Dr. Khala Albert
“Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome” is a brand new entity that
has only been reported since the early 2000’s. This term is used
to describe patients who experience repetitive episodes of
severe nausea and vomiting and also smoke marijuana on a
regular basis. These episodes of nausea and vomiting are very
disabling for patients and are often very difficult to treat.
LO53: The Use of Intralipid and High Dose Insulin Therapy
in the Emergency Department Management of Beta
Blocker and Calcium Channel Blocker Toxicity
the Expert - Encore Presentation
OCC - 203
Track Chair: Dr. Jennifer Beecker
This Dermatology session will cover both common dermatological
presentations to the emergency department, as well as some
diagnoses “not to miss”. The majority of the presentation will be in
a quiz format with audience participation. All cases presented will
be real cases that presented to the emergency department. After
the case is presented and the audience has voted, there will be
discussion around the disease and appropriate treatment. There
also will be opportunity for an “open” question period, so you can
bring any of your burning dermatological questions!
