“…Therefore, mechanical ventilation virtual simulators (MVVS) arise as potential teaching tools that could help the implementation of ubiquitous learning on MV [ 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Their main advantages would be to promote student training in complex clinical scenarios, to predict and anticipate failures in procedures, to reduce the cost involved in acquisition and maintenance of medical equipment and materials, and to optimize training time and opportunity for continuous Web-based staff training.…”

“…Their main advantages would be to promote student training in complex clinical scenarios, to predict and anticipate failures in procedures, to reduce the cost involved in acquisition and maintenance of medical equipment and materials, and to optimize training time and opportunity for continuous Web-based staff training. In addition, it presents zero risk for patients and provides more efficient and safer learning environments, familiarizing the students with the handling of the devices [ 9 , 17 , 18 , 20 ]. Despite that, use of MVVS is not the standard practice in MV training nowadays.…”

BackgroundTeaching mechanical ventilation at the bedside with real patients is difficult with many logistic limitations. Mechanical ventilators virtual simulators (MVVS) may have the potential to facilitate mechanical ventilation (MV) training by allowing Web-based virtual simulation.ObjectiveWe aimed to identify and describe the current available MVVS, to compare the usability of their interfaces as a teaching tool and to review the literature on validation studies.MethodsWe performed a comparative evaluation of the MVVS, based on a literature/Web review followed by usability tests according to heuristic principles evaluation of their interfaces as performed by professional experts on MV.ResultsEight MVVS were identified. They showed marked heterogeneity, mainly regarding virtual patient's anthropomorphic parameters, pulmonary gas exchange, respiratory mechanics and muscle effort configurations, ventilator terminology, basic ventilatory modes, settings alarms, monitoring parameters, and design. The Hamilton G5 and the Xlung covered a broader number of parameters, tools, and have easier Web-based access. Except for the Xlung, none of the simulators displayed monitoring of arterial blood gases and alternatives to load and save the simulation. The Xlung obtained the greater scores on heuristic principles assessments and the greater score of easiness of use, being the preferred MVVS for teaching purposes. No strong scientific evidence on the use and validation of the current MVVS was found.ConclusionsThere are only a few MVVS currently available. Among them, the Xlung showed a better usability interface. Validation tests and development of new or improvement of the current MVVS are needed.
