AW&VR Trial Summary
This trial is testing whether Virtual Reality can be used to educate medical students on airway injury management, and if it is more effective or efficient than training with a mannequin.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for University of Toronto medical students in their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd year who are at least 18 years old and can attend two sessions one week apart. It's not suitable for those without consent capacity, with visual/hearing impairments that limit VR/video use, or a history of significant motion sickness.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if VR-based simulation training is as effective as traditional mannequin-based simulation in teaching airway trauma management to medical students. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the VR group or the mannequin group and assessed on their skills after one week.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Participants may experience side effects from using VR such as motion sickness (cybersickness), which includes symptoms like nausea, dizziness, or headaches.
