Virtual Reality Cricothyrotomy – A case-control study on gamification in emergency education

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Background Cricothyrotomy is an invasive and rare emergency intervention to secure the airway in a "cannot intubate, cannot ventilate" situation. This leads to lack of routine and cricothyrotomy is performed only hesitantly. Therefore, we aim to improve teaching by including a virtual reality (VR) cricothyrotomy as a learning tool for students of medicine.
