Reacting confidently and properly to extinguish a life-threatening surgical fire on a patient requires effective training in a life-sized operating room under a realistic scenario that engages and teaches proper behaviors.
For annual training, fires are difficult to mimic – and involve significant resources – in mannequin-based simulation and classroom teaching.
VR simulation overcomes operational roadblocks, providing you the ability to scale clinical education across your OR staff with affordable, effective, and more frequent training. By increasing opportunities to practice critical skills, VR training improves retention, performance, and patient outcomes. Specifically, results show VR :
Afterward, VR learners are 275% more confident to act on what they learned 5, enhancing patient safety.
AORN has partnered with medical training provider Health Scholars to bring you the first virtual reality (VR) education course in our perioperative library.

Surgical fires are rare – according to the ECRI Institute about 95-100 occur per year in the United States.
But the potential is high in most ORs and the impacts can be devastating, causing burns, disfigurement, long-term medical care, or death.
This cutting-edge virtual reality course provides more effective experiential training.
Learners identify the risks and ignition sources they see while standing in a virtual operating room; safely practice key skills for extinguishing a patient fire; and understand the root causes as well as what they did right and wrong for maximum retention.
Fire in the OR is a 20-minute course that includes three modules:

American Society of Anesthesiologists Closed Claims database highlighted that operating room fires accounted for nearly a fifth of monitored anesthesia care claims.
Don't let your OR become a statistic.
