Abstract

The ABCDE assessment is accepted by experts to improve outcomes in clinical emergencies. Therefore, medical students must learn this approach and apply it to unwell patients. Literature states students are under confident and underprepared which is detrimental to patient care. To safely practice, Simulation Suites (Sim) have a large evidence base in medical education, however, despite virtual reality (VR) being used in other professions (aviation, shipping and military), its evidence within medicine is limited and there is no data comparing both formats.
