This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether paramedics can provide better emergency care to critically ill children when they have access to real-time video consultation with a pediatric emergency medicine doctor. Currently, paramedics receive support from doctors over radio or phone (audio only), which means the doctor cannot see the patient or the treatment being given. This study compares audio-only support to video support to see if seeing the patient helps paramedics do their jobs better and safer.
When paramedics treat critically ill children in emergencies, they need to make quick decisions about life-saving care while the child is being transported to the hospital. Real pediatric emergencies are rare, which makes it hard for paramedics to practice and stay confident. The new treatment being tested—video consultation with pediatric experts—could help paramedics feel less stressed, catch mistakes, and provide higher-quality care by giving the remote doctor a full picture of what's happening.

Paramedics and doctors will participate in simulated emergency scenarios involving critically ill infant mannequins (practice dummies). Some paramedics will receive support from a pediatric emergency doctor over video, while others will receive the usual audio-only support from a standard emergency doctor. Researchers will record these simulated scenarios and review them afterward to compare how often serious safety mistakes happened in each group, and whether video support led to better care than audio-only support.
