ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how effective virtual reality (VR) training is for teaching emergency department residents how to handle traumatic cardiac arrest, which is when a person's heart stops beating due to an injury. The main goal is to see if using VR can help these new doctors act faster in critical situations compared to traditional online learning methods. Participants will either use a new VR program or participate in e-learning that covers the same important skills.

To join the trial, participants must be first-year residents working in the emergency department and should not need eyeglasses to use the VR equipment. Unfortunately, people who are prone to motion sickness or are pregnant cannot participate. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but once it starts, those who are eligible can expect to learn life-saving techniques in a cutting-edge, immersive way.
