Immersive virtual reality–assisted anatomy training improves endotracheal intubation performance in simulation: a randomized controlled trial among Chinese non-anesthesiology residents

Key Points

• The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality (IVR) anatomy training on endotracheal intubation performance among non-anesthesiology residents.
• Randomized controlled trial design
• Participants included non-anesthesiology residents in China
• Intervention involved immersive virtual reality-assisted anatomy training
• Assessment of endotracheal intubation performance in a simulated environment
• Participants using IVR training demonstrated significantly better intubation skills compared to a control group
• Enhanced engagement and reproducibility of training sessions noted
• Results indicate that IVR training can effectively improve clinical skills in a controlled setting
