About this study

Official title: Setting-up Of A Mechanical Ventilator With An Augmented Reality Guide: A Prospective, Randomized Pilot Trial

This study aimed to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of an augmented reality (AR)-based self-learning platform for novices to set up a ventilator without on-site assistance. This was a prospective randomized controlled pilot study conducted at Samsung Medical Center, Korea from January to February 2022. Nurses with no prior experience of MV or AR were enrolled. We randomized the participants into two groups: manual and AR groups. Participants in the manual group used a printed manual and made a phone call for assistance, whereas participants in the AR group were guided by AR-based instructions and requested assistance with the head-mounted device (HMD). We compared the overall score of the procedure, required level of assistance, and user's experience between the groups.

Read the detailed description

Background: Recently, the demand for mechanical ventilation (MV) has increased with the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the conventional approaches to MV training are resource-intensive and require on-site training. Consequently, the need for independent learning platforms with remote assistance in institutions without resources has surged.

Objective:

This study aimed to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of an augmented reality (AR)-based self-learning platform for novices to set up a ventilator without on-site assistance.

Method:

This was a prospective randomized controlled pilot study conducted at Samsung Medical Center, Korea from January to February 2022. Nurses with no prior experience of MV or AR were enrolled. We randomized the participants into two groups: manual and AR groups. Participants in the manual group used a printed manual and made a phone call for assistance, whereas participants in the AR group were guided by AR-based instructions and requested assistance with the head-mounted device (HMD). We compared the overall score of the procedure, required level of assistance, and user's experience between the groups.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AR guidance with Hololens 2Device

    The AR instructions were developed as a step-by-step guide with the same text and images as in the printed manual, utilizing the dynamic 365 Guide (Software, Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, USA). The AR instructions were delivered using the Microsoft HoloLens 2.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the overall score of the procedure

    a 100-point scale converted from the original score. The participants scored 1 point for each step if they successfully finished the step within five minutes and obtained a maximum score of 35.

    Measured: 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the required level of assistance

    The number of steps needed assistance to complete the procedure

    Measured: 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AR guidance with Hololens 2 in people with Nursing Education, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the overall score of the procedure (time frame: 30 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05446896, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jul 2022.
