Features
LungSim™ is a unique and immersive mechanical ventilator simulator that allows you to
interface with your human patient simulator.
This model-driven software that, with the stand-alone mode, permits the user to train himself on
the respiratory mechanisms and, thanks to the simulation mode, to create advanced simulation
scenarios on several cases of pulmonary diseases or acute respiratory failures while being
wirelessly linked to a patient simulator (simulation mode).
LungSim™ incorporates vital sign’s alteration, ventilatory parameters and multiple other
features. The trainee can develop the ability to interpret ventilator data, formulate diagnoses and
adapt the treatment to the pathological patient’s case. Furthermore, it allows the instructors to
simulate several patient conditions, for example, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases or
severe respiratory distress syndromes by simply changing patient parameters and ventilator
values.
LungSim™ is composed of a realistic learner interface with integrated controls that simulate a
real ventilator. Additionally, the instructor can display his student’s interface on PCs, tablets,
smartphones connected via the network, supporting the use LungSim™ during advanced simulation scenarios.
The user interface incorporates built-in validated layouts in order to simulate different ventilators and situations. It allows the user to choose among 4 different ventilation modes:
- Volume Control: through this ventilation mode the user can define the tidal volume administered to the patient. The airway pressure results from the compliance of the lungs, airaways resistances and the inhaled volume.
- Pressure Control: using this ventilation mode the user can define the inspiratory pressure which is administered to the patient’s lungs.
- Pressure Support: using this assisted ventilation mode, that is patient-triggered (by pressure or airflow), the user can set the ventilator simulator to provide assistance
when the patient makes a breathing effort. In this ventilation mode the trigger threshold represents a critical setting; actually an incorrect value of this parameter can produce the so called missed triggering phenomenon.
- APRV: this ventilation mode is a form of CPAP which utilises releases of the high pressure level to a low pressure level intermittently and so it allows the administration
of inverse ratio ventilation. In this modality, the patient has the freedom to make unassisted spontaneous breaths.
The user interface allows also the user to directly change
the ventilation settings (as the Positive End-Expiratory
Pressure, the Respiratory Rate or the Tidal Volume) and
to see on the virtual ventilator monitor several output parameters
updating in real time (like Fraction of Inspired
Oxygen, Insp : Esp Ratio, Expiratory Minute Volume, Inspiratory
Minute Volume, Drive Pressure Value, etc.) and
waveforms (like Pressure, Volume, Flow, Volume - Pressure
loop, Flow - Pressure loop, Flow - Volume loop etc.).
The instructor is able to change the value of the parameters
like the Lung Compliance, Thorax Compliance, Resistances,
Respiratory Muscle Effort that describe the
patient charachteristics and this will clearly affects the
Respiratory Rate, the Inspiration Time, the Oxygen saturation,
the End-Tidal CO2 and the Arterial Pressure of the high-fidelity simulator.
Through the instructor interface, the instructor also have
the possibility to load pathology presets – like the different
steps of a COVID-19 typical case – or to simulate
common adverse events that can typically occur during
a real ventilation scenario – presence of water in the
endotracheal tube, leaks in the tube or in the patient’s
lungs, presence of a mucus plug, or the presence of a
bend in the tube.
