Umbilical Vein Catheterization

Umbilical Vein Catheterization is a VR simulation that teaches users the proper technique for inserting a catheter into the umbilical vein. Learners practice key steps, such as positioning, insertion, and ensuring patient safety, all in a realistic virtual environment, preparing them for real-world neonatal care procedures.

Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to demonstrate the complete sterile technique and procedural steps for umbilical vein catheterization, including patient positioning, skin preparation, and catheter insertion.
Students will be able to identify and select the appropriate sterile instruments and supplies necessary for an umbilical vein catheterization procedure.
Students will be able to assess the correct depth of catheter insertion and verify proper placement within the umbilical vein by observing simulated physiological responses.

Surgical Cricothyroidotomy [Timed Unguided]
Surgical Cricothyroidotomy is a VR simulation that guides learners through the emergency procedure of performing a cricothyroidotomy. Users practice identifying the correct anatomy, making the incision, and securing the airway in a safe, controlled virtual environment, preparing them for real-world critical care situations.
