Teach ventilation management quickly and easily—all you need is 2 tablets! Building clinical competence and confidence to manage a ventilator is a challenge. The high risk associated with mechanical ventilation requires both basic skills training and training for complex respiratory scenarios. With TruVent, instructors can adjust underlying patient characteristics, creating clinically accurate respiratory simulations that will display appropriate pressure, flow, and volume curves in real time.
TruVent is an innovative and effectively virtual simulation app to teach ventilation management safely without the need for a ventilator or a simulator. With TruVent, learners with limited experience can gain the basic skills needed to operate a ventilator with ease.
- App-based, no need for a ventilator OR a manikin (but you can still use both!)
- Only requires 1 tablet for instructor and 1 tablet per student (iOS or Android)
- Train multiple students simultaneously
- Can operate remotely—teach in class or from different locations
- Students adjust ventilation parameters, and the app responds!
- Pair the app with Monitor by Laerdal to enhance manikin-based training!
- Uses Bluetooth connection instead of WiFi
Featured skills:
