An oxygen administration system is a device that is used to deliver, supplement, and regulate oxygen levels within the arterial system. There is a wide variety of oxygen delivery devices available; however, patient needs, clinical assessment, and equipment performance greatly impact how and which type of device should be selected. This module will provide knowledge of the various types of oxygen administration devices available to healthcare professionals and the appropriate use of each. Including both Learn and Test modes, the online simulator will test your ability to recognize oxygen administration equipment. Practice the steps of the procedure as often as you want until you are confident.

You’ll learn

pre-procedure considerations
indications for oxygen therapy
the process for selecting an oxygen delivery device
how to demonstrate the proper assembly of various types of oxygen administration equipment
techniques for oxygen administration
much more (see Content Details for more specific information)

The SIMTICS modules are all easy to use and web-based. This means they are available at any time as long as the learner has an internet connection. No special hardware or other equipment is required, other than a computer mouse for use in the simulations. Each of the SIMTICS modules covers one specific procedure or topic in detail. Each module contains:

an online simulation (available in Learn and Test modes)
descriptive text, which explains exactly how to perform that particular procedure including key terms and hyperlinks to references
2D images and a 3D model of applied anatomy for that particular topic
a step by step video demonstration by an expert
a quiz
a personal logbook that keeps track of all the modules the learner has studied and how long
