Enhance and accelerate ventilator
management training with the
RespiSim-PVI Option for the ASL 5000
Breathing Simulator.
Complete, 45 minute
training modules
guide instructors and students through
ventilator management scenarios,
reducing basic class prep time.
Ventilator management
is a critical responsibility that
demands sophisticated skills.
According to the 46th Respiratory
Care Journal Conference on
Patient-Ventilator Interaction (PVI),
Patient Ventilator Asynchrony is
extremely common and frequently
unrecognized, with potentially
serious adverse consequences for the
patient. Optimizing PVI is
challenging, and not necessarily
made easier by the complexity of
today’s ventilators and the plethora
of ventilation modes.
Ventilator
management training itself faces
significant challenges:
Textbooks and
clinical cases provide only limited
exposure to the range of patient
scenarios clinicians must be
competent to treat, especially rare
cases with potentially catastrophic
outcomes.
Even when a simulator
is able to provide a broader range
of clinical scenarios, the
interaction between the patient and
the ventilator is not immediately
apparent because ventilator and
patient data are displayed on
separate screens. Switching back and
forth between screens impedes
insight and learning.
Setting up simulation
scenarios is time-consuming for the
instructor, involving repeated
“re-invention of the wheel”.
Moreover, scenarios are not
repeatable for objective evaluation,
and cannot be played back for
effective debriefing.
The RespiSim-PVI
for the ASL 5000 Breathing Simulator
can help you overcome these
challenges:
Give students
hands-on experience with a range of
clinical scenarios which would
otherwise take weeks or months in
the ICU to attain.
See both “patient”
and ventilator data simultaneously,
together with alarm events and
instructor notes.
Directly observe
students’ choice of ventilator
settings and changes in “patient"
condition. Cause and effect in
patient-ventilator interaction
becomes visible with an immediacy
not previously possible.
Reduce instructor prep time
with training modules prepared in
collaboration with leading educators.
Conduct powerful
debriefing with recordings of entire
training sessions, including
waveforms and ventilator data.
