Figure 2 Mixed Reality Humans teaching an anesthesia provider (used with permission from the VERG lab)

Currently, start-up companies do much of the
development on immersive reality resuscitation.
Researchers, anesthesia educators, and other healthcare
providers must become involved in the design and
validation of such new technologies to ensure these new
platforms provide new modalities for training that yield
results transferrable to actual delivered patient care with

improved outcomes. As IR technology improves and
more research validates its use to train healthcare teams
and individuals to achieve higher technical and nontechnical performance levels, ultimately the patient wins
with better outcomes and likely higher satisfaction.
