| Virtual reality (VR) tracheostomy educational tool | Other | This is an unsupervised VR training packaged designed to train healthcare professionals and their students the management of the paediatric tracheostomy emergency. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Performance in simulation (time to key specific intervention, time to completion of scenario, and number of correct interventions completed) | Test the improvement in simulated performance in a pre- and post-test method. Time to key specific intervention and total scenario times will be measured in seconds, with a smaller number indicating better performance. Number of correct interventions will be simple numerical with higher number indicating better performance. | Measured at the beginning of study and 1 week. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Knowledge using a bespoke knowledge multiple choice questionnaire adapted from a validated question bank. | Measurement of knowledge in a pre- and post-test method. The a higher score will indicate more knowledge. Minimum values are 0, maximum value of 23. | Measured at the beginning of study,1 week and 4 weeks post intervention. |
