Immersive Virtual Reality Anesthesiology Training: The Next Frontier in Simulation Training

Abstract

Current literature is unequivocal that simulation training and education are beneficial [1,2]. While anesthesia training - for physicians and anesthetists - regularly features simulation as part of standard curricula, much of the currently available traditional simulation is focused on specific technical tasks abstracted from clinically realistic practice. Further, such training regularly calls for immense time and resources
