Video livestreaming in emergency trauma dispatch: an observational study of technological integration with clinical decision-making in prehospital enhanced care services
Video livestreaming has the potential to impact situational awareness and decision-making in emergency dispatch, as reported by participants and observed during the study, particularly in response to complex and ambiguous trauma scenarios. The technology's effectiveness depends on dispatcher expertise, caller characteristics, and incident complexity. Further research is needed to evaluate its use across different EMS contexts.
