Mixed-methods evaluation shows remote IV cannulation training improves student performance, suggesting broad educational potential.
This study demonstrates that tutorials on intravenous cannulation which are delivered remotely using the HoloLens 2 device are feasible, show a similar improvement in student performance to in-person tutorials, and are relatively well received by students and tutors. The ability to deliver procedural tutorials to a remote location has the potential to be a significant asset to medical educators. However, it also highlights several usability issues, including the development of "cybersickness" symptoms which may be limiting factors in its widespread adoption by educational institutions, and warrants further investigation.
