Mechanical ventilation is a treatment where a machine is used to assist a patient in breathing, when they are unable to effectively breathe on their own. This module provides knowledge in understanding the different modes of mechanical ventilation, how to identify the appropriate ventilation type to use, and the detailed steps of how to perform mechanical ventilation. Including both Learn and Test modes, the online simulator will test your ability to perform a mechanical ventilation procedure. Practice the steps of the procedure as often as you want until you are confident. Describe the pre-procedure considerations for invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Describe and demonstrate how to perform invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Understand and apply Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines. Describe and demonstrate the correct post-procedure considerations. Define and demonstrate correct recording and reporting procedures. Define and use related medical terminology. Explain the Patient Privacy Rule (HIPAA), Patient Safety Act, and Patients' Bill of Rights. The SIMTICS modules are all easy to use and web-based. This means they are available at any time as long as the learner has an internet connection. No special hardware or other equipment is required, other than a computer mouse for use in the simulations. Each of the SIMTICS modules covers one specific procedure or topic in detail.
