About The Course:

Jacob is a 52-year-old male patient. He is admitted for an infection and has antibiotics ordered. IV access has been tried numerous times without successful placement. The attending physician has written an order for central venous catheter placement. The central line has to be placed in the internal jugular vein using the ultrasound guided method.  

Learners will be practicing this central venous catheter insertion in a virtual environment to perform steps starting from preparing a sterile field to completing the insertion procedure. 

This multiplayer VR session is designed to provide learners with the training and practice required to carry out the procedure with efficiency and confidence.

Learning Objectives:
  • Explaining the internal jugular catheter insertion procedure to a virtual patient
  • Donning sterile gown and gloves and setting up sterile field
  • Demonstrating successful internal jugular catheter insertion procedure
  • Suturing the wound
  • Applying the dressing
  • Explaining aftercare instructions to a virtual patient

Core Skills Training

CVC training

Patient Preparation

In this first module, learners are required to practice preparing for a central line insertion procedure. This involves preparing the sterile field, ensuring all required supplies are in place, and preparing the patient for the procedure. Necessary affordances are made available to the learners for a hiccup-free ride through the module. Ensuring thorough preparation will help perform the procedure with efficiency.

CVC

Insertion Procedure

In this module, learners practice the insertion procedure which involves tasks like inserting the introducer needle, the guide wire, threading the catheter over the guide wire, and applying dressing after the insertion. The task will end with the learner ordering an x-ray to confirm catheter placement. With all necessary affordances made available, learners get to practice in realistic scenarios for true-to-life experiences.

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
  • Learn by Doing
  • Visual Affordances
