Using a Virtual Reality Trainer to Prepare for Difficult Cases
With a difficult MI case, you might have a few minutes to save a life. That is a few minutes to choose and navigate a guidewire and catheter, take arteriograms, find the lesion, dilate, and place a stent. Practicing on a simulator before you are actually faced with a life-threatening case is an ideal way to help you become prepared.
