Summary

This study individual training with an immersive virtual reality Trauma Simulator was compared to live mannequin-based simulation training in a facilitated group. The results showed that virtual reality simulator led to non-inferior effects on trauma resuscitation skills to mannequin-based simulation. Trauma Simulator had good usability, was well received by the participants, and had minimal adverse effects.

Conditions

  • Virtual Reality

Interventions

OTHER

Teaching of trauma resuscitation by using virtual reality simulation

The intervention was teaching of trauma resuscitation by using VRS. Following welcome and a video lecture by Advance Trauma Life Support certified physician, the intervention group participants were orientated (15 minutes) to the VRS environment, head-mounted display (Oculus Rift S or Oculus Quest, Oculus, USA) and hand controllers by playing game First Steps (Oculus, USA). Then the participants were training by using the "Internal Hemorrhage" scenario in Trauma Simulator.

OTHER

Teaching of trauma resuscitation by using mannequin based simulation

Volunteers were trained in groups of three or four by using mannequin-based rapid cycle deliberate practice simulation facilitated by a critical care physician. Next, the volunteers had 50 min training of the same trauma scenario as the intervention group. The simulation facility was set-up as close as possible to the virtual reality environment.
