Public Lecture Series
The Public Lecture Series was created to share stories about field work, develop concepts through case studies, and inspire people from the moments on expeditions that are seldom seen or published. The events are free to attend and accredited for CPD / Fellow Credit Points. Hosted on the 3rd Thursday of each month @6pm AEST (8am GMT).
Series One - Dispatches from the field
Dispatch 1 - "Sure looks cold out there!" with Dr Sandy MacQuarrie
The cold is an extreme environment that some health care workers operate in. But when we talk cold, we don’t mean a balmy -3 degrees Celsius. We mean, if you get things wrong, you and your patient are in a lot of trouble. Travel north to Canada in the dead of winter and back in time to join Sandy and the flight team from New Brunswick AirCare on a time critical call when the temperature reads (with wind chill) -36 degrees Celsius. Oh, and the patient has just been born....at 24 weeks gestation.

Dispatch 6 - "The potential role of ECMO in accidental hypothermia" with Dr Malin Zachau
In extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), blood is pumped outside of your body to a heart-lung machine that essentially removes carbon dioxide and sends oxygen-filled blood back to tissues in the body. During this public lecture Dr Malin will discuss the potential role of ECMO in accidental hypothermia patients in New Zealand.
