Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to study and compare the efficacy and feasibility of a remotely supported simulation-based procedural curriculum for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) clinicians.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study transitioned a previously reported, traditional, simulation-based training curriculum delivered by on-site pediatric simulation experts, into a program delivered by agency Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinators (PECCs) supported by remote pediatric experts. The PECCs delivered the curriculum on site, and submitted first-person-view videos captured using a head-mounted camera of three procedures (bag-valve mask \[BVM\] ventilation, supraglottic device \[SGD\] insertion, and intraosseous \[IO\] catheterization) to pediatric education experts who provided scoring and feedback to the participants. The team tracked scores for all three procedures during the study period, compared scores to the previous study's, and solicited feedback from the PECCs and participants regarding these educational methods.
