Virtual reality versus traditional teaching for trainee anaesthetists
This study compares two ways for trainee anaesthetists to learn about regional anaesthesia (numbing specific body areas for surgery): using virtual reality (VR) versus a traditional teaching method. If you are a trainee anaesthetist, this could help improve how future doctors are trained.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a trainee anaesthetist (a resident doctor in a recognised Royal College of Anaesthetists training programme, Stage 1, 2, or 3).
- You do not have visual impairment (if you wear glasses or contact lenses, that's fine).
- You do not have a severe medical condition that affects your movement or balance.
- You have not taken any medication that could affect your movement or balance within 12 hours of the study.
- You are not pregnant, and have not consumed alcohol within 24 hours before the study session.
