📝Introduction

Welcome to this special edition of the REBEL Cast, where we unravel key highlights and educational insights from the IncrEMentuM Conference in Spain. This event is a cornerstone for advancing emergency medicine education, drawing esteemed speakers and participants from around the globe. As emergency medicine gains traction in Spain, this conference has become an essential platform for knowledge exchange and professional growth. Today, host Dr. Mark Ramzy shines a spotlight on three distinguished speakers: Dr. Jess Mason, Dr. Tarlan Hedayati, and Dr. Simon Carley, who shared their expertise and experiences at this transformative gathering last spring.

🤔What's IncrEMentuM?

A new conference and a pivotal gathering for emergency medicine professionals worldwide, has become an essential platform for education, collaboration, and advocacy, especially in light of emergency medicine’s recent recognition as a specialty in Spain. The conference is praised for its outstanding production quality, engaging speakers, and its capacity to foster a global community of emergency care professionals.

🦪Pearls from Their IncrEMentuM 2025 Lectures

Think about alternative diagnoses that could be driving the patient’s atrial fibrillation
Maybe the atrial fibrillation is an adaptive response and slowing them down (whether chemically or electrically) may cause more harm than good
Get in the mental space before having to perform a High Acuity Low Occurrence (HALO) procedure and walk through each of the parts step by step
- - EMRAP has uploaded the video of the Resuscitative Hysterotomy here (Subscription required to watch)
- Like many things in critical care, a patient with a severe head injury requires you to do many little things very well (ie. reducing ICP increases by taking off the C-collar if able, positioning the patient appropriately, knowing when to use certain medications)

✈️See you in Spain!

The upcoming conference aims to gather world-class educators once more and promises an enriching experience for all attendees. Drs. Tarlan Hedayati, Jess Mason and Simon Carley, along with many others, will be there at the event. For more information on the IncrEMentuM Conference and to register, visit their website!

This guide walks you through the physiology, interpretation, common causes, and emergency management of QTc prolongation to keep your patients safe.
