LungSim™ 

• Incorporates vital sign’s alteration, ventilatory parameters and multiple other features.
• The trainee can develop the ability to interpret ventilator data, formulate diagnoses. 
• Adapt the treatment to the pathological patient’s case. 
• It allows the instructors to simulate several patient conditions, for example, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.
• 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. 
• 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. 

• 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
    • airways resistances 
    • 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
  • 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.).
