Virtual reality (VR) has been increasingly used in medical education. VR simulations can provide learners with a safe and immersive environment to practice their skills and knowledge. These simulations can range from emergency situations to those for exploring human anatomy. This chapter provides examples of VR use that focuses on emergencies and critical care. VR education for these situations provides invaluable medical simulations from resuscitation to managing life threatening cases with hands-on experiences without real life consequences. It allows trainees to develop critical thinking, decision-making skills, and teamwork under realistic conditions. VR can also be used to teach various skills for surgical procedures, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and other important skills.

摘要

Virtual reality (VR) has been increasingly used in medical education. VR simulations can provide learners with a safe and immersive environment to practice their skills and knowledge. These simulations can range from emergency situations to those for exploring human anatomy. This chapter provides examples of VR use that focuses on emergencies and critical care. VR education for these situations provides invaluable medical simulations from resuscitation to managing life threatening cases with hands-on experiences without real life consequences. It allows trainees to develop critical thinking, decision-making skills, and teamwork under realistic conditions. VR can also be used to teach various skills for surgical procedures, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and other important skills.
