摘要

Background

Virtual reality (VR) offers immersive training experiences that can address limitations of traditional neonatal resuscitation training. Building on prior U.S.-based research, we evaluated the feasibility of deploying a VR-based neonatal resuscitation model in an international setting.

Methods

Healthcare providers at Ho Chi Minh City Children’s Hospital in Vietnam participated in a single-arm feasibility study using VR-based training. Sessions employed a team-based approach with physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals and included knowledge review, platform orientation, and a simulated resuscitation scenario based on the Neonatal Resuscitation Program. The simulation was delivered in English with real-time Vietnamese translation. Participants completed post-training surveys assessing satisfaction, realism, and challenges.

Results

Among 28 participants, 100% recommended VR training; 86% found it more realistic than traditional methods. The mean usefulness score was 4.3/5. Challenges included language barriers and technical issues.

Conclusions

VR-based neonatal resuscitation training is feasible and well-received at Ho Chi Minh City Children’s Hospital, Vietnam.

Clinical Trial Registration

Not applicable.
