Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Simulation-based Training
  • Virtual Reality in Healthcare

Background:

  • Traditional pediatric procedural sedation training relies on didactic sessions and high-fidelity mannequins.
  • The integration of virtual reality (VR) offers a novel approach to enhance procedural sedation education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a VR module compared to a web-based module for training pediatric residents in procedural sedation.
  • To assess knowledge acquisition and performance in simulated sedation scenarios.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial was conducted using a VR environment (Second Life®) for procedural sedation training.
  • Participants were assessed using pre- and post-knowledge tests and a simulated pediatric procedural sedation scenario.
  • Performance in the simulation was evaluated using a 32-point checklist; user feedback was also collected.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant differences were found in knowledge test scores between the VR and web-based groups (P = 0.14).
  • Performance scores on the simulation checklist were similar, with median scores of 75% for VR and 70% for the control group (P = 0.32).
  • Participants reported positive feedback and enjoyment of the VR module, indicating it enhanced their educational experience.

Conclusions:

  • VR training did not demonstrate superior outcomes in performance or knowledge compared to traditional web-based methods for pediatric procedural sedation.
  • While well-received by users, the added value of VR in improving trainee performance requires further investigation.
  • Future research should explore optimal methods for leveraging VR in simulation-based medical education.
