AvailableHospital ward
ACLS cardiac arrest (VF)
A ward patient arrests in ventricular fibrillation. Call for help, assign roles, run compressions, shock, give drugs on time and manage the patient after return of circulation.
A patient simulator your staff can use between shifts
Education teams use it to keep resuscitation and deterioration skills current without booking the sim lab. Run it on its own, or as a warm-up before a manikin session.
Who this is for: Clinical nurse educators, simulation centre managers, resuscitation committees and graduate program leads.
What gets in the way today
- Skills fade between annual updates
- Staff complete their yearly life support check, then may not touch a defibrillator for months.
- Sim lab bookings clash with rosters
- Getting a team off the floor for an hour of manikin simulation is a planning exercise every time.
- Rare events stay rare
- Pregnancy cardiac arrest and newborn resuscitation are high-stakes and infrequent. Most staff have not done one recently.
- Graduates need confidence fast
- New graduates arrive with different levels of exposure to emergencies.
How hospitals and health services teams use it
- Ten-minute scenarios
- Short, focused runs that fit into a quiet part of a shift or an education day.
- Hybrid with manikins
- Use VR for decision-making and team roles, then move to the manikin for compressions and airway. Our debrief flags compression depth as needing a manikin.
- Team sessions on the ward network
- A resuscitation team can join one scenario with assigned roles: compressions, airway, defib and drugs.
- Local guidelines and drug names
- Regional packs set drug names, units, emergency numbers and the guideline (ANZCOR or AHA).
Scenarios for hospitals and health services
Full library
AvailableHospital wardSTEMI
Chest pain that turns out to be an ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Recognise it early, act on the ECG and escalate to cardiology without losing time.
AvailableHospital wardAcute asthma
A breathless patient getting worse. Assess the chest, start oxygen to target, give bronchodilators and recognise when it is time to call the team.
AvailableHospital wardSVT
A fast narrow-complex rhythm. Read the monitor, try vagal manoeuvres, prepare drugs and know when the patient is unstable.
AvailableHospital wardSepsis
A deteriorating patient with infection. Spot the early signs, take a full set of observations, start the sepsis pathway and escalate.
AvailableHospitalPregnancy cardiac arrest
Cardiac arrest in a pregnant patient. Adapt resuscitation for pregnancy, coordinate the team and call the right specialists early.
AvailableBirth suiteNewborn resuscitation in a birth suite
A baby born floppy and not breathing. Start the clock, dry and stimulate, open the airway, ventilate and call the neonatal team.
- ComingWaiting room and aged care
De-escalation and responsive behaviours
An upset family member in a waiting room and a distressed resident living with dementia. Choose your words, read the warning signs and know when to step back and call for help.
- ComingClinical
IV cannulation and injections
Procedure practice for cannulation and injections, step by step, with the checks that matter.
- ComingClinical
Handover (ISBAR)
Give a clear, structured handover or escalation call using ISBAR.
How it maps to your training
Built around the programs hospital education teams already run.
| Unit or program | Where it shows up |
|---|---|
| Advanced life support (ALS/ACLS) | ACLS cardiac arrest (VF) with rhythm recognition, shocks, drugs and post-arrest care. |
| Recognising and responding to deterioration | Sepsis, acute asthma, STEMI and SVT. |
| Maternity and neonatal emergencies | Pregnancy cardiac arrest and newborn resuscitation in a birth suite. |
| Graduate and transition programs | Practice mode with guides for new staff, assessed mode for sign-off practice. |
We map scenarios to your local policies and competency frameworks during a pilot.
Results can go to your hospital’s learning system through LTI 1.3, xAPI or SCORM. See connects to your learning systems.

Reading for hospitals and health services teams
- High Acuity: What Acuity Means in Healthcare
Acuity meaning in medical and nursing terms, what makes a patient high acuity, why it drives staffing and priorities, and how to practise high-acuity care safely.
- Debriefing in Simulation: What Good Looks Like
Debriefing in healthcare simulation, what the INACSL standard asks for, and how a scored, timed debrief in VR supports the facilitator rather than replacing them.
- Postpartum Haemorrhage Simulation: Planning a Scenario That Teaches
Why postpartum haemorrhage (postpartum hemorrhage) is a priority for simulation, what a good PPH scenario practises, and where VR fits beside obstetric drills.

The technology behind it
- XR training explained
VR, AR and mixed reality in plain words, and which to use for what.
- VR training
Room-scale, interactive simulation on standalone headsets.
- Mixed reality training
Passthrough on Meta Quest 3: the scenario in your own room.
- AR training
In the real room on HoloLens 2 and Meta Quest 3, plus phone web AR built to order.
- VR in healthcare
Clinical VR simulation for nursing, hospitals and aged care.
Questions people ask
Does it work in a busy hospital network?
Standalone headsets run scenarios on the device. Team sessions need the headsets on the same local network.
Can we use our own guidelines?
Regional packs cover ANZCOR and AHA today, with local drug names and units. Local policy changes can be scoped during a pilot.
What hardware do we need?
Meta Quest 3 or PICO for standalone use, PC VR if you have it, or HoloLens 2 for mixed reality.
Pilot it with your team
