Description
Twelve researchers test whether a remote expert helps ambulance crews during resuscitation in a paper from 2025. Forty-three teams ran simulated cardiac arrests, with and without tele-support from an experienced emergency doctor. Crews wore eye-tracking glasses during the drills. Attention was scored across the patient, equipment, monitor, and colleagues. Workload and life-support performance were also measured.
With tele-support, team leaders looked more at the equipment and less at other staff. Their gaze also strayed less outside the task areas. The remote leader effectively absorbed coordination work. The authors take this as evidence that tele-leadership sharpens on-scene attention. Real-world trials would be the next step for the concept.
