A Remotely Supported Pediatric Simulation-Based Procedural Training Curriculum for EMS Clinicians

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.

Time frame: 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.

Time frame: 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.

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