Effectiveness of fully immersive virtual reality-based simulation training on objective knowledge acquisition in acute coronary syndrome/ST-elevation myocardial infarction emergency management: a pre-post-intervention study
In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that VR-based acute coronary syndrome/ST-elevation myocardial infarction training is both operationally feasible and educationally effective. Notably, integrated guidance yielded outcomes comparable to tutor-led instruction, underscoring the potential of this approach as a platform for independent, extracurricular learning. While our data suggest VR training may support clinical performance, future studies with objective assessments are needed to confirm its real-world value.
