VentSim© is an online mechanical ventilation simulation software. It offers a professional and immersive simulation of patient-ventilator interactions, complete with interactive waveforms.
It addresses several limitations commonly associated with traditional simulators. As a novel online platform, it offers the ability to modify scenarios in real-time, a feature that is incredibly beneficial for adapting the learning experience to the specific scenario or topic that is being addressed. The ability to adjust scenarios on the fly not only enhances the educational value of the simulation but also mirrors the real-life variability and unpredictability encountered in clinical settings.
Additionally, its design prioritizes ease of use, making it a user-friendly tool for both beginners and experienced practitioners. The simulator makes it easy to change ventilator settings and adjust lung parameters. This simplification helps the instructors in presenting complex cases without being overwhelmed by the intricacies of the software or the simulator.
It has been succesffuly used to train fellows across multiple institutions in the United States, and since its inception in 2019, it has been used by more than 30000 users from all over the world. It is available through this link https://ventsim.cc/
