This study applied a virtual reality (VR)-based Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) remote guidance system, created by the authors, to remote medical instruction. Experiments were conducted with both this system and traditional video-based instruction to evaluate differences in emergency response performance. After expert review, 31 licensed nurses were recruited and randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 16) using the VR-ACLS system or a control group (n = 15) using videobased guidance. Both groups completed two-person remote emergency collaboration tasks, and performance was evaluated based on task completion and correct execution rates under instructor guidance. The experimental group achieved a 37.5% completion rate and a 37.5% correct execution rate, while the control group scored 6.7% on both. Independent sample t-tests revealed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) favoring the VR-ACLS strategy. Results confirmed the effectiveness of immersive visual instruction in enhancing remote emergency coordination and execution accuracy. The findings suggest that the VR-ACLS system offers clear advantages in remote ACLS training, particularly in improving communication, spatial understanding, and procedural precision. These benefits support better patient outcomes in time-critical scenarios and highlight the potential of VR for advancing remote clinical training
