Abstract:

Snake bite envenomation is a common acute critical illness. We developed a virtual reality simulation experiment teaching platform called“clinical thinking of snake bite rescue—taking silver ring snake as an example”. We used the virtual reality technology and software to create a virtual 3D scene of venomous snake bite settings including the patient,his conditions,and rescuing circumstance. The platform integrated the senses of vision,hearing and touch in practical teaching. The “teaching”,“learning” and “doing” were well integrated and achieved by connecting the fundamentals of nursing and emergency care techniques with the clinical thinking in the virtual environment.

Key words: Snake Bites, First Aid, Virtual Systems, Education, Nursing
