Assessing Usefulness of Virtual Reality Mobile Application in Flexible Videoscope Airway Training — AURA  

Education, Medical Clinical Trial

Official title:
Assessing Usefulness of Virtual Reality Mobile Application in Flexible Videoscope Airway Training - a Randomised Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Flexible videoscope orotracheal intubation (FOI) technique is considered an important option in the management of predicted difficult airways. However, it is rarely performed in daily practice. Yet emergency physicians are expected to be able to perform this skill expertly during a crisis scenario. If it is not completed in a timely and proper fashion, the patient will deteriorate rapidly, resulting in morbidity or fatality.

There is a significant learning curve to master this complex psychomotor skill. Providing sufficient training in FOI, particularly hands-on experience in real patients is difficult. Patients with known difficult airway requiring FOI present infrequently to the emergency room. Using patients with normal airway purely for teaching of FOI is ethically controversial. To avoid technical and ethical concerns of training involving real patients, conventional teaching methods incorporate the use of a low-fidelity manikin in replacement. However, the manikin anatomy often lacks the realism of a live human.

The addition of virtual reality technology, in the form of a low-cost mobile application (Airway Ex) into the conventional simulation, may optimize learning by providing an ethical, cost-effective and more realistic modality to acquire the basic skills of FOI. If it is proven to be effective, efforts to integrate virtual reality technology into routine training of such procedures in the ED should be promoted.

We hypothesize that the addition of virtual reality mobile application to conventional training will improve procedural skill dexterity and proficiency and hence, improve learner's satisfaction and confidence in performing FOI.
