Overview

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of using a virtual reality headset (VRH) during endoscopy and its impact on the endoscopist ergonomics. We will use the Apple Vision Pro during approximately 140 endoscopic procedures during which ergonomics will be assessed.

Interventions

  • Device Virtual reality headset
    Use of the virtual reality headset during endoscopic procedures.
  • Other MYSELF checklist
    A preprocedural timeout to improve ergonomics.

Primary outcome measures

  • Risk Reduction of endoscopy related musculoskeletal injury by VRH as assessed by rapid entire body assessment (REBA) score. [Time frame: From the start until the end of an endoscopic procedure.]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
  • Endoscopist experience with VRH assess via subjective survey scored on a 5-point Likert scale. [Time frame: From the start until the end of an endoscopic procedure.]
  • Risk reduction of endoscopic related musculoskeletal injury in specific subgroups (colonoscopy, EUS, ERCP) by VRH as assessed by rapid entire body assessment (REBA) score. [Time frame: From the start until the end of an endoscopic procedure.]
  • risk reduction of endoscopy related musculoskeletal injury due to pre-procedural checklist as assessed by rapid entire body assessment (REBA) score. [Time frame: From the start until the end of an endoscopic procedure.]
