Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive disease that causes high patient mortality. With limited hemodynamic reserve, many PH patients require maintenance IV infusion medications to maintain their activities of daily living. One common delivery method for this targeted therapy is through a Remodulin® (treprostinil) pump. When presenting for emergent evaluation, decompensating PH patients have a broad differential diagnosis including pump failure. PH patients are at a high risk of poor patient outcomes given the difficulty in recognizing PH-specific symptoms and unique aspects of their management. Therefore, learners will benefit from participating in an immersive simulation-based PH patient scenario in a safe learning environment. Here, we present a simulated scenario of a decompensating PH patient on a Remodulin® pump.
