Admission for Respiratory Disease And VIdeo Regulation System

Admission for Respiratory Disease And VIdeo Regulation System

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.
