Article Summary

There have been several research studies carried out on emergency medicine. These studies aim to discuss the effectiveness, implications, or the use of emergency medicine in healthcare. One of the research studies on emergency medicine is the article “augmented reality in emergency medicine.” This essay aims to discuss the study type of this study, its purpose, research questions, and its summary.

Munzer et al. (2019) conducted a literature review of 24 articles related to augmented reality in emergency medication. The articles that the authors used were obtained from Scopus, MEDLINE, and Embase databases. The author determined that augmented reality has utility and feasibility as an emergency medication that can be used to deliver care to patients. The authors also determined that it can also be used in education and the training of emergency care providers. According to Munzer et al. (2019), augmented reality can also be used in telehealth because it is feasible to offer care over distances. The type of study used in the article by Munzer et al. (2019) is a systematic review where the authors carried out a literature review of medical and non-medical journals on augmented reality. Systematic reviews entail the evaluation and assessment of research studies carried out on a particular issue (Munn et al., 2018). In this case, the authors reviewed 24 articles that are related to the use of augmented reality in emergency medicine. The purpose of the study by Munzer et al. (2019) was to carry out a review of current literature on the application of augmented reality in emergency medicine. The study’s research question was; what is the applicability of augmented reality to training and delivery of care in the context of emergency medicine?

The article which was selected for this assignment is augmented reality in emergency medicine. The purpose of the research was to determine the applicability of augmented reality in emergency medicine. The authors used a systematic review where 24 articles were literature reviewed.
