Paracentesis Procedure [Unguided]

Paracentesis is a VR simulation that guides learners through the process of performing a paracentesis procedure. Users practice identifying the correct site, using sterile techniques, and safely draining fluid, all within a realistic virtual environment. This immersive experience enhances skills for real-world clinical practice.
