Summary

This trial will investigate whether teleconsultation can improve the safety and quality of emergency care for sick/injured children in the community.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children in New England with respiratory illnesses who are stable enough for transport by Boston Children's Hospital. They must need things like extra oxygen, medications, or be stable on a ventilator. Kids can't join if their parents don't speak English, they have non-respiratory issues, or are too sick and might need emergency care during the ride.
What is being tested?
The study tests if doctors can use video calls to check on kids with breathing problems during ambulance rides. It checks whether this teleconsultation is doable and okay with everyone involved—like the medical staff and families—in real-life situations outside of hospitals.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves using telecommunication technology rather than medication or invasive procedures, there aren't direct side effects as you would expect from drugs or surgery. However, technical issues could potentially impact patient care.
