Terminal Lung Cancer

The Terminal Lung Cancer Extended Reality (XR) simulation offers a realistic training environment for healthcare professionals to understand and manage end-of-life care for patients with advanced lung cancer. Participants engage in interactive scenarios to learn about symptom management, palliative care interventions, communication strategies with patients and families, and ethical considerations surrounding end-of-life decision-making. This simulation enhances healthcare professionals skills in providing compassionate and comprehensive care to patients facing terminal illness, ultimately improving the quality of life for both patients and their loved ones during this challenging time.

Learning Objectives

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

Participants learn how to effectively manage symptoms commonly associated with terminal lung cancer, such as pain, dyspnea (shortness of breath), fatigue, and nausea. They explore different pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to alleviate symptoms and improve patients comfort.
The simulation provides opportunities to learn about the principles and practices of palliative care, including holistic assessment, goal setting, and symptom management within the context of advanced illness. Participants gain insights into providing comprehensive support to patients and their families to enhance their quality of life.
Participants develop communication skills necessary for discussing sensitive topics related to end-of-life care with patients and their families. They learn how to facilitate open and honest conversations, address patients fears and concerns, and provide empathetic support throughout the illness trajectory.
The simulation explores ethical dilemmas commonly encountered in caring for patients with terminal lung cancer, such as discussing treatment options, advance care planning, and respecting patients autonomy and preferences. Participants learn to navigate these complex issues while upholding ethical principles and promoting patient-centered care.
Participants learn about the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in providing comprehensive care to patients with terminal illness. They explore roles and responsibilities of various healthcare team members, including physicians, nurses, social workers, and spiritual care providers, and practice effective teamwork in addressing patients physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
The simulation emphasizes the importance of self-care and coping strategies for healthcare professionals working in palliative care settings. Participants learn to recognize and address their own emotional responses to caring for patients with terminal illness, while also developing resilience and strategies for maintaining professional well-being.

Management of Gastrointestinal Infection

The Management of Gastrointestinal Infection XR simulation provides healthcare professionals with an interactive learning experience on how to effectively manage gastrointestinal infections. Through realistic scenarios, users can practice identifying the type of infection, selecting appropriate treatment options(such as antibiotics or supportive care), and monitoring for complications. The simulation aims to improve clinical decision-making and patient outcomes in the management of gastrointestinal infections.

Gastroenteritis

The Gastroenteritis XR simulation provides healthcare professionals with an interactive learning experience on how to manage gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the stomach and intestines commonly caused by viral or bacterial infections. Through realistic scenarios, users can practice identifying the signs and symptoms of gastroenteritis, such as diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, and initiating appropriate interventions, such as fluid replacement and symptom management. The simulation aims to improve clinical decision-making and patient outcomes in the management of gastroenteritis.

Normal Abbreviated Head-to-Toe Assessment, General Survey, and Vital Signs

The Normal Abbreviated Head-to-Toe Assessment, General Survey, and Vital Signs Extended Reality (XR) simulation provides healthcare professionals with an interactive learning experience to conduct a comprehensive assessment of a patients overall health status. Through realistic scenarios and interactive modules, participants learn to perform a systematic head-to-toe assessment, including general survey, vital signs measurement, and evaluation of key body systems. This simulation enhances clinical skills, diagnostic accuracy, and interdisciplinary collaboration, ultimately improving the quality of patient care and outcomes.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) XR simulation offers users a firsthand experience of the challenges faced by individuals living with PTSD and TBI. Through immersive scenarios, users can explore the symptoms of these conditions, including flashbacks, anxiety, memory issues, and cognitive difficulties. The simulation aims to increase empathy, understanding, and awareness of PTSD and TBI, helping to reduce stigma and promote support for those affected.

Unknown Group B Strep Status

The Unknown Group B Strep Status XR simulation provides healthcare professionals with an interactive learning experience on how to manage pregnant patients with an unknown Group B Streptococcus (GBS) status. Through realistic scenarios, users can practice identifying patients at risk, determining appropriate management strategies (such as GBS testing or prophylactic antibiotic administration), and providing education to patients. The simulation aims to improve clinical decision-making and patient outcomes in the management of GBS in pregnancy.

Lower Leg Fracture: Compartment Syndrome

The Lower Leg Fracture: Compartment Syndrome XR simulation provides healthcare professionals with an interactive learning experience on how to recognize and manage compartment syndrome in patients with lower leg fractures. Through realistic scenarios, users can practice assessing compartment pressures, recognizing signs of compartment syndrome, and initiating appropriate treatment, such as fasciotomy. The simulation aims to improve clinical decision-making and patient outcomes in this specific clinical setting.
