The focus of this scenario is on the principles of incentive spirometry (IS) and the importance of using this technique in the care of your post operative patient.
Learning Objectives:
Identify incentive spirometry equipment and the proper configuration
Recall the appropriate steps for use in incentive spirometry
Validate the importance of incentive spirometry (IS) in post-operative care of a patient
Simulation Modality:
Virtual gaming simulation / virtual patientEvalution/Validation:
This simulation’s scenario and script were formally peer-reviewed by two external institutions, then the final simulation was pilot tested by several students on a student testing committee then as part of the Virtu-WIL Student Program’s rollout.
