About The Course:

Paul Anderson is 38 years old. He is suspected to have a condition called posterior myocardial infarction. Paul is here for an examination. The procedure is similar to a normal ECG with the exception of placing three leads on the patient’s back. This is a simple procedure but requires practice to perform it with accuracy.  

This VR simulation for Posterior EKG examination is designed to help healthcare practitioners practice the procedure in a safe and controlled virtual environment. With both training and assessment modes, learners can perform the procedure and assess themselves on their performance. 

Learning Objectives:
  • Identifying and placing leads correctly on a virtual patient 
  • Understanding the controls of an EKG machine and steps to generate a report 
  • Reading EKG findings to correctly identify a posterior myocardial infarction

Performing Posterior EKG

In this module on performing an EKG examination, the learner will begin by confirming the identity of the patient. Following this the learner will place the limb and precordial leads on the correct locations and attach the wires to them. In order to obtain a posterior myocardial infarction reading, the learner will perform placement of three leads on the patient’s back. After ensuring that the EKG waveform is clear without artifact the learner will take a print of the EKG. Finally, the learner will remove the EKG stickers, dispose them of in the bin and sanitize their hands.
All necessary affordances are provided to complete the procedure with efficiency.

Training

With prompts, guidance and affordances learners are hand-held through the process to practice the procedure in a virtual environment with a virtual patient.  

  • Photorealistic virtual environment  
  • Physics-based interactions  
  • Detailed instructions  
  • Adequate affordances to assist in task completion

Assessment

Test acquired skills to perform the procedures from start to finish without prompts. An incorrect step will take the learner back to the start to start afresh.  

  • Live scoring  
  • Instant feedback  
  • Adequate affordances for efficient performance  
  • Time tracking to monitor activity completion
