Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedMoving Toward Safer Pediatric Transport Care in EMS Insights from Dr. Nick Cochran-Caggiano’s Research on Pediatric Transport and Resuscitation By Bram Duffee, PhD, EMT-P Transporting children in ambulances presents unique challenges that EMS providers face every day. Issues like the correct use of safety equipment, performance of life-saving procedures like CPR, and the absence of universal standards can make pediatric care in emergency settings more difficult than necessary. Dr. Nick Cochran-Caggiano, an emergency physician and researcher, has taken a deep look into these challenges through two pivotal studies that every EMS worker should know about. Both studies were discussed on the latest podcast episode of “EMS Research with Professor Bram.” The Unsafe Reality of Pediatric Transport in Ambulances One of Dr. Cochran-Caggiano’s studies, published in Pediatric Emergency Care (2023), examined how children are secured during ambulance transport. The study reviewed over 3,000 cases by observing video footage of ambulances arriving at a pediatric emergency department. The findings reveal a troubling reality: Just 53.5% of children were transported using the correct safety device for their weight. A staggering 77.1% of transport restraints were not used properly, putting children at significant risk. Commercially made pediatric restraints were found to be the best option, yet these were still improperly used half the time. For many patients, ambulance cots were the default method of transport, but this was only the correct choice in 18.2% of cases. Dr. Cochran-Caggiano shared his thoughts on this alarming data during a recent interview, emphasizing that the absence of consistent safety standards puts children at unnecessary risk. "Having some sort of ability to transport children safely is a must," he said. He also pointed out the pitfalls of the current patchwork approach to pediatric safety in EMS. "There’s no appropriate way to secure [a child’s car seat] to an ambulance stretcher. You can make a good faith effort, but that’s really all it is." Why This Matters Improper restraint practices don't just violate safety protocols—they create scenarios where otherwise preventable injuries become inevitable. Reflecting on the need for systemic change, Dr. Cochran-Caggiano pushed for a proactive approach, stating, "Let’s make a difference before…

Joe’s extensive background and passion for EMS education, specifically in simulation, shine as he shares insights into his work developing state-of-the-art simulation labs and curriculum for multiple hospitals and residency programs across southeast Florida. His projects aim to elevate EMS education by integrating hands-on, realistic scenarios that build critical thinking and clinical skills for healthcare providers. Key Takeaways Joe’s Background in Simulation and EMS Education Joe discusses his journey in EMS and simulation-based education, including his academic background in Homeland Security and Emergency Management. He holds dual certifications as a Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE) and a Certified Healthcare Simulation Operations Specialist (CHSOS). He has dedicated his career to advancing EMS training and has presented at leading EMS and simulation conferences, including the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH). Designing Effective Simulation Scenarios Joe dives into the nuances of creating successful simulation scenarios, emphasizing how scenario design can either build or inhibit a learner’s critical thinking. He advocates for a thoughtful approach to setting learning objectives and aligning them closely with scenario details to prevent distractions or misdirected focus. Safety in Healthcare Simulation: A Simple Scenario Joe shares a scenario he uses in his “Safety in Healthcare Simulation” lecture: Objective: Assemble a nebulizer and administer 2.5 mg of Albuterol Sulfate. Scenario Components: Using a manikin, a nebulizer, saline solution as a substitute for albuterol, and an oxygen source delivering 6-8 LPM. Patient Presentation: The manikin should have signs like wheezing, rhonchi, a history of asthma, or possible pneumonia. However, rales/crackles and peripheral edema are intentionally excluded as they would mislead the learner regarding the appropriateness of albuterol. Importance of Testing Scenarios Before Implementation Joe explains how testing scenarios can prevent potential pitfalls by ensuring they meet educational objectives without introducing misleading elements. He illustrates that adding symptoms like rales or peripheral edema would alter the scenario's purpose, forcing learners into unnecessary critical thinking exercises outside the intended scope. This testing step is crucial to ensure the simulation accurately reflects real-life decision-making. Practical Advice for EMS Educators Joe offers practical tips for EMS educators looking to incorporate simulation in their teaching. From setting clear objectives to aligning simulation elements with real-world scenarios, he highlights how educators can provide safe yet challenging learning environments. Connect with Joe Slattery Joe shares his passion for teaching and simulation and discusses upcoming projects where he is expanding simulation training in hospitals and residency programs.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedBy Bram Duffee, PhD, EMT-P Qualitative research often remains a mystery to those in medicine who are accustomed to the clear-cut, numerical results of quantitative studies. Yet, when it comes to understanding complex, human-centric issues, qualitative research is indispensable. Take the COVID-19 pandemic, for example—an event where numbers alone cannot fully capture the profound human experiences involved. Unlike quantitative research, which answers yes or no questions or delivers numerical data, qualitative methods delve deeper into the human elements of a topic. One powerful approach is conducting interviews, especially when the interviewer shares a cultural or professional background with the participants as an insider to the community. This method promotes openness and authentic disclosure, as demonstrated in two studies exploring the experiences of paramedics during the COVID-19 pandemic. The recent episode of "EMS Research with Professor Bram" a spotlight was cast on these insights.1 Paramedic researcher Nigel Barr, PhD, RN, RP, from Australia shared his research study where they interviewed Australian paramedics about the challenges and facilitators they faced while responding to COVID-19 cases. His research uncovered themes that included communication, fear and risk, leadership, protective work factors, and change. Intriguingly, some paramedics reported a reduced perception of risk and heightened empathy for COVID-19 patients after personally contracting the virus themselves.2 Highlighting the significance of qualitative research, Dr. Barr remarks, "Numbers work well for testing theories, but when it comes to generating new ones, the hard work of interviews, coding and theming is essential." Parallel to this, as a paramedic researcher myself, I was conducting a similar study in the United States, interviewing American paramedics. This research was different because it sought to understand how treatment of respiratory patients shifted when looking at the time before covid versus during the pandemic. Findings of this study showed that paramedics had a tendency to over-categorize all respiratory patients as COVID-positive. Also, participants noted changes in practice, such as reduced use of stethoscopes and avoidance of nebulized treatments in confined spaces due to transmission fears.3 These qualitative studies offer insights that mere data cannot, underscoring the need for paramedics to engage in research that directly impacts their field. “We should be trying to support the capacity of paramedics to do research. We should have the control over our own discipline ... Because if we take research from another discipline, another area, another setting, it is always going to be a square peg round hole. We have to test those outcomes in our own environment. We have to find out what works. What doesn't work,” says Dr. Barr. Research studies involving paramedics in both Australia and the United States demonstrate the unique benefits of qualitative research through interviews. By employing paramedic researchers to engage directly with their peers on topics that deeply impact them, these studies reveal the nuanced understanding that only rich, narrative-driven descriptions can provide. Qualitative interviews shed light on the human side of medical practice, revealing details and challenges that numbers alone might miss. These interviews help us understand the deeper aspects of healthcare, offering insights that go beyond traditional numbers. References https://youtu.be/_lBTF-8x7p4 Howarth, U., Zimmerman, P.
