Feasibility of virtual reality-based simulation for neonatal resuscitation training: a pilot study at an international site.

Background: Virtual reality (VR) offers immersive training experiences that can address limitations of traditional neonatal resuscitation training. Building on prior U.S.

A pilot study of a virtual reality-based simulation platform for Neonatal Resuscitation Program training.

Objective: This pilot implementation study introduces a novel, neonatal-specific virtual reality (VR) simulation platform for resuscitation training and assesses its initial feasibility and reception in a neonatal intensive care unit setting.

Study Design: We developed a custom VR model simulating a resuscitation scenario for a 30-week neonate. Neonatal providers completed individualized training sessions and post-training surveys.

Using Virtual Reality-Based Simulation in Neonatal Resuscitation Program Training.

In this article, we investigate the incorporation of virtual reality (VR) into Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) training. We describe the potential advantages and challenges of the use of VR with NRP. We compare conventional training approaches to VR-based simulation, reviewing diverse VR platforms and their specific roles in neonatal resuscitation education.
