A Remotely Supported Pediatric Simulation-Based Procedural Training Curriculum for EMS Clinicians: Partnering PECCs and Pediatric Experts at a Distance

In this prospective study of EMS clinicians, we found non-inferiority between a traditional on-site approach and a remotely-supported approach in simulation-based pediatric procedural training. Skill overall was high and BVM and SGD performance improved. This demonstrates a viable method for PECCs to deliver recurring evidence-based education while receiving curricular and assessment support from remote pediatric experts. While still effort-intensive, this methodology may help to address several barriers of time, cost, and accessibility for pediatric prehospital education.
