Summary

This trial aims to investigate how using augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) technology can make ultrasound-guided medical procedures like regional anesthesia and line placement easier for doctors. The study wants to

Who is the study for?
This trial is for clinicians performing ultrasound-guided medical procedures like regional anesthesia or line placement. It's designed to see if using AR/VR technology can help them do their jobs better by improving how they see and interact with patient anatomy.
What is being tested?
The study tests the use of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) in ultrasound-guided medical procedures. The goal is to determine if these technologies make it easier for doctors to perform these procedures accurately, which could lead to better outcomes for patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive technology used by clinicians rather than direct treatment of patients, there are no traditional side effects associated with medications. However, users might experience discomfort or disorientation from wearing AR/VR headsets.
