Improving Pediatric Procedural Skills for EMS Clinicians: A Longitudinal Simulation-Based Curriculum with Novel, Remote, First-Person-View Video-Based Outcome Measurement.

Objective: Emergency medical services (EMS) clinicians are expected to provide expert care to all patients, but face obstacles in maintaining skillsets required in the care of critically ill or injured children. The objectives of this study were to describe and assess the effectiveness of a pediatric-focused, simulation-based, procedural training program for EMS clinicians, delivered on-site by a pediatric simulation education team. We also describe a novel, remote, asynchronous performance outcome measurement system using first-person-view video review.
