AB  - A  7-year-old  boy  is  found  unresponsive  at  the  bottom  of  a  swimming  pool.  Cardiopulmonary  resuscitation  is  initiated  by  first  responders,  and  the  child  is  rushed  to  the  closest  hospital.  The  internal  medicine  physician  covering  the  emergency  department  (ED)  at  this  critical  access  hospital  has  limited  experience  with  critically  ill  children.  Upon  arrival,  the  staff  continues  resuscitation  and  immediately  activates  a  pediatric  tele-emergency  consultation.  Within  a  minute,  a  pediatric  emergency  medicine  physician  from  the  regional  pediatric  quaternary  care  center  is  connected  to  the  bedside  with  telemedicine,  with  high-quality  audiovisual  communications,  ready  to  assist  the  team.  With  the  expert  guidance  and  teamwork,  the  resuscitation  is  successful,  and  the  child  is  transported  to  the  regional  pediatric  hospital  for  definitive  care.
