Virtual reality for training emergency medicine residents in emergency scenarios: usefulness of a tutorial to enhance the simulation experience.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Critical events in healthcare require a rapid and coordinated approach: simulation has been demonstrated a valid technique for training in emergency. Virtual Reality (VR) is an innovative technology that has revolutionized simulation training and healthcare professional development. A key phase of a simulation session with manikin consists in a familiarization with setting and equipment. The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether familiarization with a VR tutorial can change the perception of cases.

Methods

Emergency medicine residents were randomly assigned to the Intervention group (n = 21) who undergone familiarization tutorial prior to the clinical scenario to a Control group (n = 21) where no familiarization tutorial was provided b
