Sunday, August 4, 2024
10:15 AM – 11:15 AM PT
Location: CC- Upper Level- Room 5AB
This presentation addresses the transformative potential of VR simulation for both novice anesthesia learners and experienced anesthesia providers operating in the high-stakes environment of the Operating Room (OR). By evaluating the effectiveness of VR in enhancing anesthesia skills, confidence, and crisis management capabilities, we aim to highlight the pivotal role VR can play in anesthesia education.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the current state and uses of VR-based simulation in anesthesia education and practice.
  • Discuss the usability and effectiveness of VR-based educational tool for novice anesthesia learners.
  • Identify the usefulness of VR-based simulation in enhancing CRNA’s knowledge, self-confidence, and competency in responding to the MH crisis.
