Abstract

Background: Virtual reality (VR) offers immersive training experiences that can address limitations of traditional neonatal resuscitation training. Building on prior U.S.-based research, we evaluated the feasibility of deploying a VR-based neonatal resuscitation model in an international setting.

Methods: Healthcare providers at Ho Chi Minh City Children's Hospital in Vietnam participated in a single-arm feasibility study using VR-based training. Sessions employed a team-based approach with physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals and included knowledge review, platform orientation, and a simulated resuscitation scenario based on the Neonatal Resuscitation Program. The simulation was delivered in English with real-time Vietnamese translation. Participants completed post-training surveys assessing satisfaction, realism, and challenges.

Results: Among 28 participants, 100% recommended VR training; 86% found it more realistic than traditional methods. The mean usefulness score was 4.3/5. Challenges included language barriers and technical issues.

Conclusions: VR-based neonatal resuscitation training is feasible and well-received at Ho Chi Minh City Children's Hospital, Vietnam.

Clinical trial registration: Not applicable.

基于虚拟现实的新生儿复苏训练模拟的可行性：在一个国际站点的试点研究。

背景：虚拟现实（VR）提供身临其境的培训体验，可以解决传统新生儿复苏培训的局限性。基于先前美国的研究，我们评估了在国际环境中部署基于vr的新生儿复苏模型的可行性。方法：越南胡志明市儿童医院的卫生保健提供者使用基于vr的培训参与了一项单臂可行性研究。会议采用了以团队为基础的方法，包括医生、护士和联合卫生专业人员的知识回顾、平台定位和基于新生儿复苏计划的模拟复苏场景。模拟以英语提供，并配有实时越南语翻译。参与者完成了培训后的调查，评估满意度、现实性和挑战。结果：28名参与者中，100%推荐进行VR培训；86%的人认为它比传统方法更现实。平均有用性得分为4.3/5。挑战包括语言障碍和技术问题。结论：在越南胡志明市儿童医院，基于vr的新生儿复苏培训是可行的，并且得到了很好的接受。临床试验注册：不适用。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Perinatology provides members of the perinatal/neonatal healthcare team with original information pertinent to improving maternal/fetal and neonatal care. We publish peer-reviewed clinical research articles, state-of-the art reviews, comments, quality improvement reports, and letters to the editor. Articles published in the Journal of Perinatology embrace the full scope of the specialty, including clinical, professional, political, administrative and educational aspects. The Journal also explores legal and ethical issues, neonatal technology and product development. The Journal’s audience includes all those that participate in perinatal/neonatal care, including, but not limited to neonatologists, perinatologists, perinatal epidemiologists, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons, neonatal and perinatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, speech and hearing experts, other allied health professionals, as well as subspecialists who participate in patient care including radiologists, laboratory medicine and pathologists.
