Prepare yourself to tackle operating room emergencies
Minimize tragedy to the best of your ability by training for operating room emergencies. Bring it from an emergency to a success story.
Fire in the OR
Real-to-life fire training at your fingertips
An estimated 600 OR fires occur annually, with nearly 10% causing serious injuries or even death. Be prepared to act when the unthinkable occurs.
Malignant Hyperthermia
Build confident perioperative providers in the face of malignant hyperthermia
Demonstrate recognition of early signs and symptoms of malignant hyperthermia (MH) and identify and discontinue MH triggering agent quickly and efficiently.
PASS/RACE Fire Safety Training
Realistically manage a simulated operating room fire as smoke fills the room
Learn and practice how to extinguish a fire and lead your team in the rescue of a patient. Learn and practice the PASS and RACE acronyms then follow up with a realistic simulation for both scenarios. Provides a virtual, zero-risk, environment to practice and learn critical patient fire management skills.
We found that VR based training was superior to video based training in enhancing performance in a simulated fire scenario. Those who underwent VR training recognized the issue more quickly and were more likely to appropriately douse the flame and protect the patient when compared to those who had video based training.

Director of Education Mount Sinai HELPS Center
Our public health system is proud to be a leader in virtual reality simulations that ensure our providers have the life-saving skills necessary during these situations. Being able to provide convenient, easily accessible, on-site, and realistic simulations is imperative when you want to both provide these important skills-building opportunities without disrupting any patient care.
Being able to offer a diverse suite of high-tech simulations that not only realistically portray the medical scenario, but also reflects what our workforce and patients look like is an important part of training our staff to provide the highest quality, expert care no matter the situation the arises in the delivery room.
