Abstract

#### WHAT ARE THE NEW FINDINGS #### HOW MIGHT THIS IMPACT HEALTHCARE IN THE FUTURE Virtual reality (VR) is a promising modality for healthcare education with ample qualitative evaluation.1–3 There is meagre quantitative study of using VR in healthcare training. This study aims to gain quantitative and qualitative insights into the fidelity and validity of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training using VR. Good quality, timely chest compressions improve survival outcomes in cardiac arrest.4–6 Traditionally, chest compressions are taught to healthcare professionals (HCPs) as part of resuscitation training using manikin-based simulation.4 Resuscitation bodies, such as The European Resuscitation Council and Resuscitation Council UK, certify trainers to deliver CPR training using scenario-based simulation with manikins. Delivering this training has logistical barriers; accessing space, equipment, staff and time to conduct training. E-learning has been widely adopted in healthcare education, helping to reduce the logistical burden of providing mandatory training to the healthcare workforce.7 Emerging technology such as VR is appealing as it has the flexibility associated with e-learning while offering a more immersive experience,8 along with the potential to increase global accessibility and reduce the environmental impact of in-person training. Novel approaches must be assessed for efficacy before committing resources to their implementation. While there are data exploring VR use for CPR training,9–11 there …

在虚拟现实模拟中进行胸外按压的生物力学分析：对虚拟现实作为生命支持培训手段的逼真性和有效性的初步认识

#### 新发现是什么 #### 这可能会对未来的医疗保健产生什么影响虚拟现实（VR）是一种前景广阔的医疗保健教育模式，目前已有大量定性评估。本研究旨在从定量和定性角度深入了解使用 VR 进行心肺复苏（CPR）培训的保真度和有效性。优质、及时的胸外按压可提高心脏骤停患者的存活率。4-6 传统上，胸外按压是作为使用人体模型进行复苏培训的一部分教授给医护专业人员（HCPs）的。4 欧洲复苏委员会和英国复苏委员会等复苏机构对培训师进行认证，以使用人体模型进行情景模拟心肺复苏培训。开展这种培训有后勤方面的障碍：需要场地、设备、人员和时间来开展培训。7 VR 等新兴技术具有与电子学习相关的灵活性，同时还能提供更加身临其境的体验，8 并且具有提高全球可及性和减少现场培训对环境影响的潜力，因此很有吸引力。在投入资源实施新方法之前，必须对其效果进行评估。虽然有数据探讨了 VR 在心肺复苏培训中的应用，9-11 但...

期刊介绍： Healthcare is undergoing a revolution and novel medical technologies are being developed to treat patients in better and faster ways. Mobile revolution has put a handheld computer in pockets of billions and we are ushering in an era of mHealth. In developed and developing world alike healthcare costs are a concern and frugal innovations are being promoted for bringing down the costs of healthcare. BMJ Innovations aims to promote innovative research which creates new, cost-effective medical devices, technologies, processes and systems that improve patient care, with particular focus on the needs of patients, physicians, and the health care industry as a whole and act as a platform to catalyse and seed more innovations. Submissions to BMJ Innovations will be considered from all clinical areas of medicine along with business and process innovations that make healthcare accessible and affordable. Submissions from groups of investigators engaged in international collaborations are especially encouraged. The broad areas of innovations that this journal aims to chronicle include but are not limited to: Medical devices, mHealth and wearable health technologies, Assistive technologies, Diagnostics, Health IT, systems and process innovation.
