About The Course:

70-year-old Richard Warner is visiting his healthcare provider for a routine suprapubic tube exchange procedure.

This VR simulation is designed to help practitioners practice the suprapubic tube exchange procedure in a virtual environment with a virtual patient. With both training and assessment modes, learners can perform the procedure and assess themselves on their performance.

Learning Objectives:
  • Demonstrating infection control practices by using proper hand hygiene and sterile technique
  • Replacing the suprapubic tube safely using correct removal and insertion methods
  • Confirming placement of tube by checking urine flow, inflating the balloon, and ensuring comfort

Core Skills Training

Performing Suprapubic Tube Exchange

As part of the Suprapubic Tube Exchange procedure, the learner will begin by confirming patient identity and obtaining consent before safely removing and discarding the existing catheter. Using proper sterile techniques, they will prepare the new catheter, perform a balloon test, and clean the stoma area. Learners will then insert the new catheter, inflate the balloon, and verify correct placement, ensuring patient safety and procedural accuracy.
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
