Registration Number

Brief Summary

Pediatric dyspnea is a major health problem, accounting for up to 27% of admissions to emergency departments in winter. It is estimated that a significant number (13%) of patients presenting to emergency departments are outpatients, at a time when emergency departments are having to cope with an ever-increasing flow of patients.

Proper referral of patients calling the SAMU Centre-15 takes on its full meaning in this context, but regulating paediatric calls is more difficult. Indeed, the regulating doctor is most often in contact with the parents, who describe what they see and pass on their concerns, and it is difficult to have direct contact with patients who are often very young. Obtaining objective criteria such as saturation and respiratory rate is also a real challenge.

To overcome the complexity of medical regulation, a number of tools and aids have been developed, including visio or video-regulation (regulation via the camera on the caller's smartphone).

This device has been evaluated in a number of situations, enabling it to take its place in the daily practice of many doctors, but there is very little data concerning pediatric visio-regulation, particularly with regard to dyspnea.

To the best of the investigator knowledge, there is no prospective study looking at the impact of Video-Regulation on the outcome of patients requiring the advice of SAMU Centre-15 for pediatric dyspnea.

GroupInterventionDescription
VideoregulationVideoregulationA 40-day period during which we will encourage regulating physicians to use video-regulation for every call concerning "pediatric dyspnea in a child aged \< 10 years".
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To determine in children under 10 years of age for whom a call to the SAMU38 for dyspnea is made, whether the use of Visio-Regulation reduces the percentage of emergency room admissions compared with standard telephone medical regulation.24 hours

Percentage of participants with computerized admission to pediatric emergency departments

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Determine whether the use of video-regulation leads to an increase in call time with the regulating doctorthrough call completion, an average of 5 minutes

Call time spent with the regulating physician

Evaluate whether the use of video-regulation has an impact on the dispatcher's referral decision between ambulatory medicine and the emergency department.through call completion, an average of 5 minutes

Percentage of participants among all calls referred to outpatient and inpatient medicine

Evaluate the number of rescue vectors (fire brigade, private ambulance) triggered but whose decision will ultimately be to "leave on the spot" after the rescue worker's assessment.through out-of-hospital care completion, an average of 1 hour

Number of people left behind after a rescue vehicle has been deployed.

Evaluate whether the increased use of video-regulation is not associated with a higher rate of hospitalization in a conventional ward or intensive care unit24 hours

Number of patients admitted to hospital or intensive care/resuscitation after emergency admission within 24 hours of the call

Evaluate parents' satisfaction with videoregulation compared with a standard call15 days

Rating of appellants' satisfaction with the decision on a numerical scale from 1 to 5. 1 being the lowest level of satisfaction and 5 being the highest.
