Brief Summary:
The study seeks to assess the efficacy of incorporating augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) technology into ultrasound-guided medical procedures such as regional anesthesia and line placement. By utilizing AR/VR devices, the investigators will improve the ergonomics when using ultrasound to guide procedures. The aims are to enhance visualization of anatomical structures and improve procedural accuracy for clinicians. The study aims to evaluate the feasibility, and effectiveness of integrating AR/VR technology into ultrasound-guided procedures, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes.
Detailed Description:
The investigators aim to learn several key insights from this study. Firstly, they hope to determine the extent to which augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) technology can enhance the precision and accuracy of ultrasound-guided medical procedures, such as regional anesthesia and line placement. This includes evaluating whether AR/VR visualization leads to improved needle placement and reduced complication rates.
Furthermore, the investigators aim to evaluate the usability and acceptance of AR/VR technology among clinicians, considering factors such as user experience, comfort, and integration with existing workflow processes.
The importance of this new knowledge lies in its potential to improve medical practice by leveraging cutting-edge technology to improve patient outcomes and expand access to quality healthcare globally. If AR/VR proves to be effective in enhancing procedural accuracy, it could lead to significant advancements in healthcare delivery, particularly in underserved communities and resource-limited settings by leveraging remote care. Additionally, insights gained from this study could inform the development of future AI assisted AR/VR applications in medicine, driving innovation and improving the standard of care across various medical specialties.
