Mixed-reality REBOA Simulator With Virtual Coaching

Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) is a life-saving emergency procedure that is highly suited for simulation-based training. This study aims to assess the validity of our REBOA simulator with virtual coach (or live quantitative feedback) for mastery learning. The hypotheses are: H0: Virtual coach is non-inferior in REBOA training to an average human instructor. H1: Virtual coach is inferior in REBOA training to an average human instructor. We expect to learn whether the virtual coach is non-inferior to an average human instructor for US-guided REBOA training. Additionally, we expect to find which determinants affect success rate most and to assess the needs for the current simulator system's future software development.
