Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Virtual Reality in Surgery
  • Surgical Skills Training

Background:

  • Consumer-level virtual reality (VR) technology presents new opportunities for surgical education.
  • Evaluating immersive VR (iVR) against traditional 2D training videos is crucial for understanding its efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare immersive VR (iVR) with standard 2D videos for surgical training.
  • To assess the impact of iVR on procedure knowledge, confidence, and hands-on performance.
  • To evaluate user experience with iVR in a procedural training context.

Main Methods:

  • Participants received baseline knowledge and confidence assessments for central venous catheter insertion.
  • Trainees were randomized into three groups: standard 2D video, desktop VR, and immersive VR (iVR).
  • Post-intervention assessments included knowledge, confidence, and a scored hands-on simulation, with subjective VR experience feedback.

Main Results:

  • Immersive VR was found to be more engaging than 2D video without negatively affecting knowledge or confidence.
  • A trend towards significantly higher performance in hands-on simulations was observed with iVR training (P=.054).
  • Forty-three participants completed the study, providing data on knowledge, confidence, and simulation performance.

Conclusions:

  • Immersive VR (iVR) serves as a valuable adjunct for procedural training, demonstrating good user tolerance and engagement.
  • iVR may enhance hands-on skills acquisition without compromising knowledge or confidence.
  • Further large-scale studies are necessary to fully validate the benefits of iVR in surgical education.
