Virtual Reality Training for Trauma Resuscitation

"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."

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.
