| Summary: | Abstract As rapid development of medical technology, virtual reality (VR) technology has been extensively applied in anesthesiology training. Anesthesia simulation base on virtual reality technology offers an innovative teaching method for the professional training of anesthesiologists, both anesthesia technical training and improving teaching efficiency. The anesthesia technical training, include airway management, spinal/epidural anesthesia, nerve block skill training, and pain management. In addition, virtual reality is improving teaching efficiency, include distance teaching, doctor–patient communication simulation and scenario simulation. It allows trainees to practice and refine critical clinical skills in a highly realistic simulation without any risks, especially in the high risk and technically demanding field of anesthesia. At present, literature is lacking on the recent virtual reality technology in anesthesia simulation. Hence, this article will summarize the reference basis for current application status of virtual reality technology in anesthesia simulation, aiming to provide insights for future teaching in anesthesiology simulation. This article is useful for anesthesiologists, clinical staff, teaching professors, and researchers in the field of simulation teaching. |
