About

This study explores the use of 360 virtual reality to simulate a pediatric mass casualty incident (MCI). It describes how participants at a national conference used this technology to practice triage and out-of-hospital interventions. The goal was to see how accurately they could assess and respond to emergencies involving children. By using virtual reality, the study aimed to improve training for real-life situations where many kids are hurt at once. This method helps healthcare workers learn better ways to manage such incidents effectively, ensuring they are prepared for actual emergencies in the future.
