The Use of Augmented Reality (AR) or Virtual Reality (VR) to Enhance the Precision and Accuracy of Ultrasound-guided Medical Procedures

Summary

The study seeks to assess the efficacy of incorporating augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) technology into ultrasound-guided medical procedures such as regional anesthesia and line placement. By utilizing AR/VR devices, the investigators will improve the ergonomics when using ultrasound to guide procedures. The aims are to enhance visualization of anatomical structures and improve procedural accuracy for clinicians. The study aims to evaluate the feasibility, and effectiveness of integrating AR/VR technology into ultrasound-guided procedures, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes.

Interventions

• Device
  Ultrasound-guided procedure using AR/VR technology

  Participants will receive the intervention, which involves utilizing AR/VR technology during ultrasound-guided procedures (e.g., regional anesthesia, line placement). All participants will receive standard pre- and post-block or line care as they normally would for the ultrasound-guided procedure.
