Simulation Trial of Telemedical Support for Paramedics
This study is looking at how paramedics and doctors can work together better during emergencies involving children. Currently, paramedics often talk to doctors over the radio while transporting a child to the hospital. This study wants to see if using video calls (video teleconsultation) or just audio calls (audio support) helps doctors give better guidance to paramedics. The study will involve certified paramedics and emergency doctors participating in simulated (practice) emergency situations in ambulances. The main goal is to see if one method leads to fewer serious safety events for the patient. The study aims to enroll 420 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This study is an interventional trial planning to enroll 420 participants. It compares two methods of remote physician support for paramedics: video teleconsultation and audio support.
- What's involved
- Participants will take part in four video-recorded simulated transports in fully equipped ambulances, providing resuscitative care in simulated high-risk pediatric emergencies.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Serious safety events will be measured at post-treatment, usually 4 hours after the simulated emergency.

What this trial measures
- Number of Serious Safety EventsPost treatment usually 4 hours
Serious safety events are defined as clinical care actions that reach the patient and have the potential to cause moderate-to-severe harm or death. An investigator developed predefined serious safety event checklist developed for each simulated transport scenario will be used to record serious safety events. Serious safety events will be scored as: present, absent, or not observable.
