Utilization of Virtual-Reality in Establishing a Code Trauma Crisis Resource Management Training Module.

Purpose: Crisis Resource Management (CRM) is critical in managing code trauma cases, yet remains underemphasized in many medical training programs in Indonesia. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a virtual reality (VR)-based CRM training module tailored for emergency physicians. Patients and Methods: A pilot CRM module was designed through expert focused group discussions (FGDs) and refined using the Delphi method. The module included a lecture, roundtable discussion, and VR simulation. Fifteen emergency physicians participated in the training and were assessed using pre- and post-tests, a checklist based on CRM objectives, the Ottawa General Rating Scale (GRS), and a satisfaction questionnaire. Results: Participants showed a significant improvement in knowledge (mean pretest 70 vs posttest 95.33; p < 0.001). Checklist completion rates had a median of 81% individually and 80% at the team level. Ottawa GRS scores indicated strong performance in leadership, problem-solving, communication, and situational awareness (overall mean score: 6.2/7). Satisfaction ratings reflected positive participant experiences with the module. Conclusion: VR-based simulation is an effective, accessible tool for enhancing CRM skills in emergency settings, particularly in low-resource or remote environments. The module demonstrated high participant satisfaction and notable improvements in both individual and team performance and incorporating VR into trauma team CRM training should be considered.
