15-lead ECGs decoded: What every emergency clinician needs to know

Speaker: Matthew J. Levy, DO, MSc
Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine
Johns Hopkins University

February 19, 2026 1 p.m. – 2 p.m. ET / 10 a.m – 11 a.m. PT

Description: This essential workshop bridges the gap between standard 12-lead ECGs and advanced cardiac assessment by introducing emergency clinicians to the 15-lead ECG technique and interpretation. Participants will review foundational ECG principles, master the placement and analysis of posterior and right-sided leads, and learn to recognize the critical limitations of standard 12-lead ECGs in detecting posterior and right ventricular myocardial infarctions. By the end of this session, clinicians will have the confidence and skills to implement 15-lead ECGs in their practice, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy in challenging cardiac cases.

The trauma airway: Anticipation, action and avoiding catastrophe

Speaker: Asa Margolis, DO, MPH, MS, FACEP, FAEMS
Associate Professor, Division of Special Operations, Department of Emergency Medicine
Program Director, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Emergency Medical Services Fellowship
Medical Director, Johns Hopkins Critical Care Transport Program
Deputy Medical Director, United States Secret Service

March 19, 2026 1 p.m. – 2 p.m. ET / 10 a.m – 11 a.m. PT

Description: Managing the airway in the injured patient is one of the highest-risk interventions in trauma care. This session focuses on anticipating both anatomic and physiologic airway challenges, making deliberate, time-critical decisions and avoiding common causes of peri-intubation decompensation Using prehospital‑focused algorithms, case examples and practical mnemonics, participants will learn how to recognize high‑risk trauma airways, optimize oxygenation and hemodynamics before intervention and rapidly troubleshoot post‑airway deterioration. Emphasis is placed on preventing the risk of hypoxia, hypotension and cardiac arrest—turning a potentially catastrophic airway into a controlled, survivable event.

With or without capnography: How your assessment tools could change everything

Capnography is often treated as a tool reserved for respiratory-specific cases, while pulse oximetry and non-invasive blood pressure take the lead during initial assessments. But what if that order is steering you in the wrong direction?
