Can remote training help EMS save kids? new study tests simulation approach
NCT ID NCT07307573
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a remote simulation-based training program could help Emergency Medical Services (EMS) clinicians improve their skills in pediatric emergency procedures like placing a breathing tube or starting an IV. 133 EMS workers participated, submitting videos of their performance for scoring. The goal was to see if this remote training approach is effective and practical for teaching critical skills.
