Virtual reality simulation training for health professions trainees in gastrointestinal endoscopy

Abstract

Virtual reality simulation training for health professions trainees in gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Virtual reality training compared with apprenticeship training in laparoscopic surgery: a meta-analysis

“…These variations are common within the human body and thus skills acquired on this single computer simulation program may not be applicable in practice. [35][36][37] In summary, this meta-analysis has further confirmed that virtual reality training improves efficiency and quality of tissue handling, with reduced error rates, when used in conjunction with the laparoscopic surgeon's individual ability and knowledge.…”

A standardized technique for gastroscopy: Still missing?

“…Unsurprisingly, participants who were able to practice on the simulator were able to reach the duodenum more quickly, in keeping with the large body of evidence supporting use of simulation to augment endoscopic training 9 10 . In addition, however, participants who were taught the four-position method but had no time with the simulator were faster in performing a simple technical task compared to participants who were only taught how to hold the endoscope and operate the dials.…”

“…In their study, the authors randomized participants to Group A, where they were only taught how to hold the endoscope and use the dials, Group B, where they learned the four-position method, or Group C, where they learned the four-position method and were able to practice on a mechanical simulator. Unsurprisingly, participants who were able to practice on the simulator were able to reach the duodenum more quickly, in keeping with the large body of evidence supporting use of simulation to augment endoscopic training [9,10]. In addition, however, participants who were taught the four-position method but had no time with the simulator were faster in performing a simple technical task compared to participants who were only taught how to hold the endoscope and operate the dials.…”

Application of virtual reality ( VR ) technology for medical practitioners in type and screen (T&S) training

“…In our study, we propose a framework for content, motivation, and enhanced readiness variables to justify the effectiveness and feasibility of the developed training. At this stage, similar to Khan et al (2018), we propose that VR training can be undertaken in combination with conventional approaches in practical T&S training.…”
