Immersive Virtual Reality in Simulation-based Bronchoscopy Training

Immersive Virtual Reality in Simulation-based Bronchoscopy Training - a Randomized Trial

• Status: Completed

Summary

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
