Medical software RespiSim® Scenarios

clinicalsurgerytreatment

Simulating clinical reality is a challenging task, especially with simulations involving several opportunities for learners to gather information and make treatment decisions. RespiSim® Scenarios make simulation easier and save time. Developed by our Clinical Education team in collaboration with various subject matter experts, RespiSim® Scenarios are comprehensive learning modules which combine multiple patient conditions, assessments, instructor notes, and patient condition information for the learner. Our scenarios are meant for educational practice only and are not meant to replace policies or protocols established by medical professionals. Always refer to your organization’s policies and procedures for best clinical practice. We encourage RespiSim® users to customize all aspects of the scenario to meet their specific goals. If you would like help customizing or developing a scenario in RespiSim, please contact us to learn about our consultation services. This simulation is introduced with a patient that has a probable pneumonia following an abdominal surgery and required intubation two days post-op. The participant will initially assess the patient post-op day 3. The participant should assess and correct for inadequate oxygenation in the first step by increasing the PEEP. The simulation advances four hours later and the participant is next required to assess and correct for a severe cycle dysynchrony by increasing the set inspiratory times.
