Summary
Mixed reality trauma simulations need better validation. A new three-part framework, including subjective, decision-making, and physiologic fidelity, offers a more adequate assessment for improved emergency medicine training.
Area of Science:
- Medical Simulation
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Emergency Medicine
Background:
- Mixed reality (MR) has been utilized in trauma and emergency medicine simulation for over a decade.
- The expanding potential of MR in trauma simulation necessitates robust validation methods.
- Current fidelity assessments primarily rely on subjective user experiences.
Conclusions:
- The proposed framework offers a more comprehensive approach to validating MR trauma simulations.
- Improved fidelity assessment can lead to more effective training simulators for emergency scenarios.
- Validating MR simulators can enhance preparedness and improve clinical outcomes in real-life emergencies.
