Virtual Reality Simulator Improves Intubation Success

Newport Beach, Calif.—A virtual reality simulator (ORSIM, Airway Simulation Ltd.) may be more effective than conventional teaching methods in improving performance of fiber-optic bronchoscopy (FOB)-guided intubation in patients under general anesthesia. According to a recent study, post-training performance of FOB-guided intubation, as measured by intubation time and Global Rating Scale, improved in operators who received 60 minutes of virtual reality training, whereas intubation
