Public - VR CPR

READY TO SAVE LIFE!

BOOST YOUR SKILLS, BUILD SELF CONFIDENCE

Sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death globally. With each minute that passes, the chances of survival diminish, underscoring the critical need for immediate resuscitation. Layperson cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is crucial in improving survival rates. Effective resuscitation efforts are often hindered by insufficient skills and a fear of failure. Prompt and accurate performance of CPR can double or triple survival rates. VR CPR training boosts confidence and ensures proper technique.

CURRENTLY ONLY 30 - 40 % OUT-OF-HOSPITAL CARDIAC ARREST VICTIMS RECEIVE CPR FROM BYSTANDERS

CORE COMPONENTS

VR Equipment and Configuration: The necessary VR tools, such as headsets, controllers, and software, generate a fully immersive training environment, enabling trainees to interact with their surroundings realistically.
Diverse Simulation Scenarios: In collaboration with experts, emergency scenarios have been developed to improve specific skills, for both amateur rescuers and professionals. The scenarios follow ERC standards.
Engaging Interactivity and Immersion: The effectiveness of VR lies in its interactive elements and depth of immersion. Trainees can perform actions, make decisions, and witness real-time consequences, enhancing experiential learning.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

1. How is VR integrated into the training process?

VR apps can detect manikins and link haptics to the visual experience within the app. The VR CPR app can be used for all types of manikins produced.

2. How true to life is the environment in VR?

The app offers realistic sounds and visual cues to create an authentic training environment and help users respond effectively to to crises.

3. How are training scenarios created and does it make sense for experienced paramedics?

Scenarios are created based on practice requirements and in collaboration with experts. The request for VR training came from the German ASB rescue service. An international advisory board oversees the development of scenarios and procedures. A prototype of the VR CPR app has been tested by medical staff in several countries and the app is continuously modified and expanded according to their feedback.

4. What is the biggest added value of VR CPR compared to traditional training?

VR training creates simulations of real situations and allows learning through experience. Learning from experience trains skills, the principle of learning is different, knowledge/skill retention is longer and learning is more effective. The ability to learn from mistakes and work under stress is important. VR CPR reinforces good practice and increases confidence in applying newly learned skills in real life.

5. What training options are available?

VR CPR comes in two versions: VR CPR Public for the general public and VR CPR PRO for professionals. Each version has multiple environments and modes. The environments are selected based on the needs of the target audience. The PRO version also focuses on the use of other devices such as a defibrillator or pulmonary ventilator. The public version, on the other hand, focuses on good practices for laypeople, including the availability of AEDs on the street or in public buildings.

6. CPR is subject to ERC guidelines, are these standards reflected in the scenarios?

Yes, the scenarios are designed by the ERC standards to improve the skills of paramedics in providing care to patients in critical situations, including cardiac arrests and other conditions requiring immediate resuscitation.

7. How long do I have to be in the VR headset, won't I get sick?

The workouts are set up in minutes. The CPR training takes a maximum of around 10 minutes. The evaluation of the training takes place with the trainer outside of the virtual environment. Then you can take another round. In addition, the latest versions of VR headsets along with the computer-generated environment minimize the risk of motion sickness that used to be with other technologies e.g. 360 videos. The VR CPR app is also user-tested for safety and comfort of use.
