An interventional study of Immersive Virtual Reality in Virtual Reality and Medical Education, sponsored by Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation. Completed at 1 site in Denmark. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-03-09.
Sponsored by Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
The purpose of this single-center randomized study is to investigate whether bronchoscopy training in an immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) environment will make the surgeon better at handling distractions and increase the quality of the bronchoscopy.
The participants will be stratified according to gender and randomized into two groups. Both groups will initially train on the bronchoscopy simulator without VR. Afterwards the intervention group will train in an iVR environment with Virtual Reality Goggles while using the bronchoscopy simulator, while the control group will train without VR goggles.
Afterwards both groups will be tested in the iVR environment in a test scenario
Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation is the lead sponsor of 27 studies on the registry; 6 are open to participants now.
