12 – Effectiveness of Video-assisted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

“Effectiveness of Video-assisted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation”

About: Interventional study to investigate if video-assisted CPR is more effective than telephone-assisted or not-instructed CPR. By adding video to the call the EMS dispatchers can guide bystanders on how to perform CPR.

9 – Dispatch of Emergency Call Using Video Streaming Compared With Traditional Telephone Communication (CAM-VISION)

“Dispatch of Emergency Call Using Video Streaming Compared With Traditional Telephone Communication (CAM-VISION)”

About: Interventional study to test video streaming in emergency calls. One group of paramedics and nurses answered emergency calls with video streaming and the other group with regular audio calls to compare if the group with video streaming could better assess the patient. The study went on for four months to collect data.

65 – Do Video Calls Improve Dispatcher-Assisted First Aid for Infants with Foreign Body Airway Obstruction?…

“Do Video Calls Improve Dispatcher-Assisted First Aid for Infants with Foreign Body Airway Obstruction? A Randomized Controlled Trial/Simulation Study”

About: An interventional study performed to assess if video calls could improve the results of foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO) by bystanders on infants. One group in the study got to perform first aid with video call and one group with audio call, which were both instructed by the medical emergency dispatcher.

39 – Telemedicine Can Replace the Neurologist on a Mobile Stroke Unit

“Telemedicine Can Replace the Neurologist on a Mobile Stroke Unit”

About: Research article about a comparative study where one group of stroke patients in a mobile stroke unit was examined by an onboard neurologist while the other group was examined via a telemedicine neurologist (audio and video). It was found that a telemedicine neurologist gave a reliable and accurate assessment of the stroke patient.
