Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Surgical Education
  • Virtual Reality in Healthcare

Background:

  • The Virtual Electrosurgical Skill Trainer (VEST) provides training for electrosurgery and operating room (OR) fire prevention.
  • It features a virtual OR environment with essential equipment and a team-training module for fire response.
  • Participants use a head-mounted display to identify fire elements and extinguish simulated OR fires.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the face validity of the VEST simulator's OR fire training module.
  • To assess the simulator's effectiveness and usefulness in surgical fire safety training.

Main Methods:

  • Forty-nine subjects with varied experience completed the OR fire training sequence in the VEST simulator.
  • A 16-question subjective questionnaire evaluated the simulator's usefulness and fidelity.
  • The study was conducted at the 2015 Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons conference.

Main Results:

  • 92% of questions received a mean rating of 3 or higher on a 5-point scale.
  • 38% of questions were rated above 4, highlighting simulator effectiveness for OR fire safety.
  • 67% of participants preferred the VEST simulator over traditional training methods.

Conclusions:

  • Fully immersive VR environments like VEST may be the ideal modality for OR fire emergency training.
  • The VEST simulator's OR fire training module demonstrated successful face validity across multiple aspects.
  • VEST offers a promising tool for enhancing surgical team preparedness for OR fire incidents.
