Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) poses a challenging clinical dilemma, often occurring abruptly without warning and demanding a sequence of intricate resuscitative measures within a narrow timeframe. Consequently, the prognosis for cardiac arrest survival is unfavorable, with out-of-hospital SCA patients typically having a discharge survival rate below 10%, while in-hospital survival is estimated at 18%.

Furthermore, resuscitation efforts for sudden cardiac arrest patients are prone to multiple errors. Research has demonstrated that clinical simulation can enhance resuscitation outcomes in SCA cases. Nevertheless, conducting clinical simulations is resource-intensive, necessitating a significant faculty-to-learner ratio. As a result, only a limited number of healthcare professionals can undergo the regular and repeated training necessary for optimal results.

By utilizing 360-degree video technology, it becomes feasible to spotlight common and critical mistakes within a contextual framework where an uninterrupted flow of data is processed, communicated, and understood by a multidisciplinary team comprising doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapists. Consequently, there exists promising potential for 360-degree videos to enhance the resuscitation of SCA patients when integrated with simulation training sessions. The practicality of 360-degree videos could significantly streamline the medical education and training of healthcare personnel to administer effective resuscitation techniques, thereby improving patient outcomes.
