About this study
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.
Who can participate
Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes
Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
Inclusion criteria
- all full-time or part-time EMS clinicians at the recruited agencies with BVM ventilation, SGD placement, and/or IO catheterization within their scope of practice
Exclusion criteria
- no procedures of interest within scope of practice
Treatment and study plan
Education
Behavioralpediatric emergency care coordinator provided education on each procedure performed
Primary outcomes
-
intraosseous (IO) catheterization procedural outcome score
Time frame: participants submitted 1-2 procedural videos based on training date during the 1-year study period
The IO assessment tool was adapted from a previously validated simulation assessment tool. The score ranged from 0-12, with higher score demonstrating better performance. Participants submitted videos for review, which were scored by trained video reviewers using the assessment tool based on a corresponding data dictionary. Scores were then aggregated for analysis.
-
bag valve mask (BVM) ventilation procedural outcome score
Time frame: participants submitted 1-2 procedural videos based on training date during the 1-year study period
The BVM assessment tool was adapted from a previously validated simulation assessment tool. The score ranged from 0-12, with higher score demonstrating better performance. Participants submitted videos for review, which were scored by trained video reviewers using the assessment tool based on a corresponding data dictionary. Scores were then aggregated for analysis.
-
supraglottic device (SGD) placement procedural outcome score
Time frame: participants submitted 1-2 procedural videos based on training date during the 1-year study period
The SGD assessment tool was modified from a prior psychomotor examination checklist used by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. The score ranged from 0-14, with higher score demonstrating better performance. Participants submitted videos for review, which were scored by trained video reviewers using the assessment tool based on a corresponding data dictionary. Scores were then aggregated for analysis.
Secondary outcomes
-
qualitative feedback regarding the curriculum
Time frame: 1 year study period
Feedback regarding the curriculum and educational experience was solicited via e-mail from participants at time of score reporting. Similar feedback was solicited via e-mail from educators throughout the study period during scheduling or troubleshooting correspondences. Comments were tabulated and summarized.
