The utility of virtual reality and manikin crisis scenario simulations for anaesthesia trainee education: a randomised crossover pilot study.

ABSTRACT: Simulation education for anaesthesia trainees is essential to build clinical skills and virtual reality can provide a reproducible, high-fidelity intra-operative training environment. Compared to in-situ manikin-based simulation, this modality has yet to be thoroughly evaluated. Twenty-six second post-graduate year anaesthesiology residents were randomly divided into two groups and participated in both virtual reality and manikin crisis scenarios at sessions six months apart. The exposure order was group A virtual reality followed by manikin and group B manikin followed by virtual reality. Clinical assessments were performed using a standardised checklist. Knowledge assessments were conducted. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index and System Usability Scale scores w
