Validation of VR in pediatric anesthesia emergency during standardized residency training / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of virtual reality (VR) on the emergency management of pediatric anesthesia.Methods:Four kinds of perioperative critical events were selected as VR training content, and the training objects were 60 residents who took part in the standardized residency training in Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Through theoretical examination and questionnaire survey, the training effect and the anxiety of residents after critical events were evaluated. The data were input into Graphpad Prism 5 software, and the quantitative data conforming to normal distribution were expressed as (mean ± standard deviation), and compared by nonparametric test and t test of two independent samples between groups. Qualitative data were expressed in terms of rate, and the 2× k trend chi-square test was used to compare the scores of the two groups. Results:All the residents took part in the theoretical assessment of the management of pediatric anesthesia emergencies. Compared with the offline theoretical teaching, the average scores of the students who underwent VR training were higher, and the incidence of anxiety was significantly reduced.Conclusion:VR simulation teaching in the department of anesthesiology can fully arouse the enthusiasm of residents and make them overcome the fear of dealing with pediatric anesthesia emergencies.
