Randomised clinical simulation designed to evaluate the effect of telemedicine using Google Glass on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Aim: Through a clinical simulation, this study aims to assess the effect of telematics support through Google Glass (GG) from an expert physician on performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed by a group of nurses, as compared with a control group of nurses receiving no assistance.

Methods: This was a randomised study carried out at the Catholic University of Murcia (November 2014-February 2015). Nursing professionals from the Emergency Medical Services in Murcia (Spain) were asked to perform in a clinical simulation of cardiac arrest.

[Unmanned aerial vehicles: usefulness for victim searches and triage in disasters].

Objectives: To analyze the influence of drones equipped with thermal cameras for finding victims and aiding triage during disasters.

Material And Methods: We carried out a prospective, cross-sectional analysis and 6 experimental simulations, each with 25 victims to locate and triage. Nurses were randomized to a control group or a drone group.

[Randomized clinical simulation trial of a Google Glass telemedicine application to assist orotracheal intubation].

Objectives: To assess the effect of a Google Glass telemedicine application to allow a medical expert to make corrections in simulated out-of-hospital intratracheal intubations performed by nurses.

Material And Methods: Randomized clinical simulation trial designed by the Universidad Católica de Murcia between November 2014 and February 2015. Volunteer nurses from the emergency medicine service of Murcia, Spain, were randomized to an intervention group to simulate intubations with telemedicine assistance (n=25) or a control group that did not receive assistance (n=25).
