Summary

This study tests whether a live video connection between paramedics and pediatric emergency doctors improves care for critically ill children. Paramedics will treat infant mannequins in simulated ambulance scenarios, with some getting video support and others only audio. The goal is to see if video reduces serious safety errors, like missed steps in life-saving care.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that video links with pediatric experts help paramedics provide safer care during child emergencies, potentially reducing errors in real-life situations.

What could go wrong
