In this scenario, you will assess an adult patient’s readiness to wean from mechanical ventilation, focusing on communication with the patient, family, and healthcare team. Generative AI simulates these interactions, allowing learners to interpret assessment findings, ventilation parameters, patient history, and diagnostics to evaluate weaning and extubation readiness. Responses are compared to an exemplar, with feedback provided, enabling learners to refine and resubmit their answers for improvement.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this simulation, you will be able to:

  1. Perform a Respiratory Assessment to determine patient readiness to wean and extubate.

  2. Define findings that impact the patient’s ability to liberate from the ventilator.

  3. Demonstrate effective communication that promotes patient-centered care.

  4. Report respiratory findings to interdisciplinary team members.
