Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Education; Emergency Medical Services

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• intraosseous (IO) catheterization procedural outcome score

  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.

  participants submitted 1-2 procedural videos based on training date during the 1-year study period

• bag valve mask (BVM) ventilation procedural outcome score

  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.

  participants submitted 1-2 procedural videos based on training date during the 1-year study period

• supraglottic device (SGD) placement procedural outcome score

  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.

  participants submitted 1-2 procedural videos based on training date during the 1-year study period
