Traber, PhD Galveston, TX Curtis P. Artz Distinguished Service Award presented to Amy R. Acton, RN, BSN Grand Rapids, MI Burn Prevention Award presented to Karla Ahrns-Klas, RN, BSN, CCRP Ann Arbor, MI President's Leadership Award presented to Richard L. Gamelli, MD, FACS Maywood, IL General Information The annual meeting is exciting and fulfilling, however, it can be overwhelming for those unaccustomed to navigating the multitude of education offerings. Here are a few helpful hints to make the meeting a more meaningful experience. This Program Book is the printed proceedings of the annual meeting. It is mailed to all ABA members about one month prior to the meeting, providing attendees with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the event information. The white pages banded with red contain the names and locations of various elected and appointed officers and committee members, a summary of the program, and more detailed information about some of the highlights of the program, including date, time, topic and site of the various presentations. Included in the summary are the Correlative Sessions, complete with the abstracts to be presented, the moderators and their respective locations. For easy reference, a program time grid of the various sessions can be found on the back cover of this volume. The staggered, gray-banded sections delineate the abstracts presented on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, respectively. The actual abstracts accepted for publication are reproduced, two to a page, in these gray sections. The last gray section is devoted to abstracts describing the posters. The final section of this book contains the author index, a listing of names of the exhibitors and reproduced floor plans of this meeting facility. The ABA is a multi-disciplinary association and the program content is designed to provide all members with activities within their scope of practice, knowledge level and interest. The Educational Symposium is presented on the day preceding the first correlative sessions. The Symposium topics are rotated through a cycle of several years and are designed to provide basic information for the novice burn care provider. There is an additional fee for participation and you must register to attend. The Sunrise Symposia are offered on Wednesday and Thursday mornings and the Luncheon Symposia are offered on Friday. A variety of topics are presented within small groups. Moderators guide the discussion following a short introduction to the topic. Your active participation in the discussion is expected. A light meal will be provided and you must register to attend. Be aware that these sessions are very popular and pre-registration may be difficult. However, there are frequently no-shows so space may be available at the door. The three most popular Sunrise Symposia on Wednesday and Thursday will be repeated on Friday morning. The Post Graduate Courses will offer three topics this year. These four-hour courses of advanced instruction are given in two-hour sessions on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. These courses are designed to provide advanced knowledge to experienced burn care professionals. There is no additional fee for participation in the courses, but pre-registration is required. Additional educational opportunities will be provided on Friday afternoon, which include: How To Talk About It: Crucial Conversations with Burn Survivors; Burn Prevention in the Developing World; From Grants to Bedside; and Healing with Each Contact: Rapport Building Strategies for Every Member of the Burn Team. Correlative Sessions present new information in the form of short presentations of the abstracts reproduced in this book. Abstract categories run in two-hour increments on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings. Abstracts are loosely grouped into topics, but “room hopping” is expected. The abstracts are generally presented at the quarter hour, so plan the “hops” accordingly. There will be six correlative sessions being presented simultaneously. Plenary Sessions are where all attendees come together to hear a particular speaker or topic presented. The plenaries are the vehicle used to impart information on topics of broad importance, applicability, and interest. CME Accreditation and Credit The American Burn Association is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The American Burn Association takes responsibility for the content, quality, and scientific integrity of this CME activity. The American Burn Association designates this live activity for a maximum of 31 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. AACN Credit This program will offer accreditation for nurses. Information will be available at a later date. CDR Credit The American Burn Association has applied for approved credit for up to a maximum of 28 CPE Category II and III contact hour through the Commission on Dietetic Registration, depending on attendance at the various educational sessions offered. Further information and CEU statements are available at the Registration Desk. Speaker Ready Room The Speaker Ready Room is located in the Cactus Room in the Renaissance Hotel. As in previous years, all presenters must use LCDs. Please remember to check into the Speaker Ready Room the day before your presentation. Your presentation will be entered onto a “common” disc by the technician. Please make sure your presen- tation is in its final form as once “burned” onto the common disc, no changes can be made. Also, please note that you do not need to bring your computer into your session. The Speaker Ready Room will be open during the following hours and staffed with a technician to assist with any questions. Monday April 22 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm Tuesday April 23 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Wednesday April 24 7:00 am - 5:00 pm Thursday April 25 7:00 am - 5:00 pm Friday April 26 7:00 am - 2:00 pm Publication of your manuscript in the Journal of Burn Care & Research, the official publication of the American Burn Association, is expected. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the format specified by the Journal, and must be submitted online through the Journal's website at https://www.editorialmanager.com/jbcr/. All manuscripts submitted from the meeting will receive priority review and early publication in the Journal. Registration Information for future meetings can be obtained from the ABA's Central Office.

During a crisis, words and the way they are communicated can mean the difference between panic and calm, between pain and comfort and ultimately affect the healing and recovery process positively or negatively. Verbal First Aid is a language of healing that uses prescribed directives, suggestions, and signals to directly affect the body response to critical situations. Little training is provided to burn practitioners on how to use words to help manage critical situations, calm the patient and provide healing. As a result of attending this live activity, the learner should be able to: (1) Understand the concepts of Verbal First Aid; (2) Have familiarity with the research that supports the idea that words make a physiologic difference; and (3) Understand how verbal first aid works and how one can apply it in practice.

What is it like to actually be in the middle of a blazing inferno and how do you make sure that you get back outside safely? This year the San Francisco Firefighter's Local 798 will present on what happens when things go tragically wrong. On June 2, 2011 the San Francisco Fire Department suffered the loss of two of their own. Fire Lieutenant Vincent Perez and Fire Fighter Anthony Valerio were caught in a flashover in a four-story residential structure fire. They entered the structure to investigate light smoke showing at the structure when moments later the flashover occurred. Perez and Valerio were both found unconscious, and a third fire fighter was injured but able to walk out on their own. Lt Perez was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. Fire fighter Valerio died two days later. The third fire fighter was treated and released for minor burns and smoke inhalation.

Friday Plenary: Wealth of Knowledge - The Value of SIGs Friday, April 26 8:00 am - 9:30 am Oasis 1 | Convention Center Course Directors: Tammy L. Coffee, MSN, RN, ACNP, Ingrid S. Parry, MS, PT, and Kathy G. Supple, MSN, ACNP, CCRN Course Description: Special Interest Groups have evolved from a self-identified need within the ABA for intimate professional networking and hands-on learning opportunities. Originally a grass roots effort on the part of individual members to share experiences, exchange ideas and compare care, SIGs have grown to be a valuable supplement to the structured educational program of the ABA Annual Meeting. The learner may not recognize the value of less formal, experiential learning and how special interest groups can work as a supplemental educational tool to empower learning and develop expertise among members of the burn team. As a result of attending this live activity, the learner will: how SIGs were formed, how they have changed and grown over time in response to challenges and successes and will recognize the benefits that the SIG learning forums offer to the overall educational mission of the ABA. 8:00 am - 8:05 am Introduction Basil A.

Providing accurate, consistent prevention education that targets patients, families, and high-risk populations in the community is essential in reducing the national incidence of burn injury. This session will discuss how to “raise the bar” on injury prevention and address the knowledge gaps of burn professionals by using a research-based strategic approach and implementing current best practices. Attendees will learn how to enhance patient and family discharge teaching by incorporating effective fire safety and injury prevention educational interventions into their burn care. As a result of attending this live activity, the learner should: (1) Recognize it is the responsibility of all burn professionals to educate patients, families, and communities on methods to reduce the incidence of injury; (2) Gain accurate knowledge on best practices in fire safety and burn prevention; and (3) Demonstrate specific methods to incorporate fire safety and burn prevention in your own home, in burn patient and family education, and in community outreach activities.

Sue Wintz, MDiv, BCC Course Description: America is now a much more heterogeneous population with a wide variety of religious traditions. As such, there is a perception that many of these religious beliefs have many rules which do not allow certain medical practices (think Jehovah's Witnesses and blood transfusion). While there are many rules and practices that may be different from the traditional Christian practices that have been the majority in America for centuries, a better understanding of these practices, and perhaps more importantly, how to discuss this with patients and their families will go a long way to improve communication and foster a better “doctor-patient relationship”. Case Presentations: Porcine Xenograft use in Jewish or Muslim patients Nutritional support during Ramadan Use of spray fibrin sealant in Jehovah's Witness Fundamentalist Christian confident of a miracle. There will be discussion about these specific examples, but also a more general discussion on how to get more information about different religious traditions and how to utilize the hospital chaplain in dealing with different (or difficult) religious beliefs and practices. As a result of attending this live activity, the learner should be able to: Understand that there are many different religious traditions and to be more comfortable discussing these with patients when they may potentially impact burn care. How to Talk About It: Crucial Conversations with Burn Survivors Friday, April 26 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Primrose A | Convention Center Course Directors: Amy R. Acton, RN, BSN and David G. Greenhalgh, MD, FACS Course Description: This forum defines the elements of “crucial conversations” for burn survivors in relation to post-burn psychosocial adjustment, discusses barriers to engaging in such discussions, and provides best practice guidelines to healthcare professionals when responding to burn survivors' sensitive questions or initiating difficult conversations. Specific strategies and patient-centered communication skills will be discussed, demonstrated, and applied via practice scenarios. Experiences and recommendations from the perspectives of the healthcare professional and burn survivor will also be shared. As a result of attending this live activity, the learner should be able to: (1) Identify topics important to burn survivors' post-burn psychosocial adjustment and quality of life that can transform into “crucial conversations” and potential barriers to their discussion; (2) Understand the implications of culture and societal norms when approaching sensitive topics; and (3) Describe patient-centered interpersonal communication responses and strategies to effectively address the burn survivor's questions or discuss difficult or sensitive topics in the healthcare setting. 2:00 pm - 2:15 pm Crucial Conversations with Burn Survivors: Potential Topics, Barriers, and Cultural Considerations Karen L.

Greenhalgh, MD, FACS Focus on Burn Prevention in the Developing World Friday, April 26 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Primrose B | Convention Center Course Description: Prevention of burn injury is one of the primary activities of the American Burn Association. Great success has been achieved in reducing both the rate and severity of burn in North America and Europe. Developing countries do not enjoy the social, institutional and material resources that have been instrumental in reducing the impact of burn injury in the western world. In order to promote effective burn prevention efforts in the developing world, burn professionals must be educated in strategies known to be effective in resource-poor environments. The IOC forum will bring experts from the developing world to educate participants about strategies to address prevention of burn injuries in resource-poor environments. As a result of attending this live activity, the learner should be able to: Understand how to assess burn prevention needs and execute a basic burn prevention intervention as a part of an international outreach experience. 2:00 pm - 2:05 pm The Burden of Burn Injury in the Developing World Nathan A.
