Virtual Reality Emergency Tracheostomy Simulation: A Feasibility Study on Intensive Care Healthcare Professional Learning Outcomes

This study showed that Trachosim® has good potential for increasing and improving training around tracheostomy emergencies within the ICU. The results suggest that VR is an appropriate teaching intervention to increase simulation training accessibility within a clinical environment. Further work should be done to compare VR intervention to alternative teaching modalities, as well as long-term outcomes such as knowledge and skill retention and improved patient outcomes.

Abstract

This study showed that Trachosim® has good potential for increasing and improving training around tracheostomy emergencies within the ICU. The results suggest that VR is an appropriate teaching intervention to increase simulation training accessibility within a clinical environment. Further work should be done to compare VR intervention to alternative teaching modalities, as well as long-term outcomes such as knowledge and skill retention and improved patient outcomes.
