Summary

The goal of this single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of using virtual reality technology to provide learners with skills and knowledge in the management of traumatic cardiac arrest in first-year residents at the emergency department. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the use of virtual reality in the context of trauma cardiopulmonary resuscitation training result in shorter times to order/perform pre-defined critical actions? Participants will learn management skills for in-hospital traumatic cardiac arrest using either newly developed virtual reality software or e-learning focused on the same content.
