Summary

In this study, the investigators examine the cognitive load (CL) and performance of a laparoscopic procedure in immersive virtual reality and controlled virtual reality in a randomized, controlled setup. Virtual reality (VR) simulators combined with head mounted displays (HMDs) enable highly immersive virtual reality (IVR) for surgical skills training, potentially bridging the gap between the simulation environment and real-life operating room (OR) conditions. However, the increased complexity of the learning situation in IVR could potentially induce high CL thereby inhibiting performance and learning.

Immersive virtual reality

In the IVR environment, four different 360-degrees videos were in sequence played as backdrop during the procedure. The videos reflected real life situations in the operating room with two videos representing calm periods, one video representing a light stressor and one video representing a severe stressor with a bleeding (2 ml/s) being triggered in the simulation. Participants complete the procedures while wearing the head mounted device.
