Virtual reality device training for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Virtual reality (VR) simulators are emerging as next-generation options in digital health to complement traditional training. VR training is largely independent of resources, location, and person-to-person contact; it integrates both teaching theory and practical application and allows unlimited repetition.
VR/AR in critical care medicine: the patient’s, clinician’s, and researcher’s perspective
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are aspiring, new technologies with increasing use in critical care medicine. While VR fully immerses the user into a virtual three-dimensional space, AR adds overlaid virtual elements into a real-world environment. VR and AR offer great potential to improve critical care medicine for patients, relatives and health care […]
Immersive VR training increases the self-efficacy of in-hospital healthcare providers and patient families regarding tracheostomy-related knowledge and care skills
Virtual reality (VR)-based simulation in hospital settings facilitates the acquisition of skills without compromising patient safety. Despite regular text-based training, a baseline survey of randomly selected healthcare providers revealed deficiencies in their knowledge, confidence, comfort, and care skills regarding tracheostomy.
