We are excited to announce that we are updating the ventilator simulator!

Please check back next week to use the new simulator which has been updated to incorporate the latest PARDS evidence-based guidelines, and has an enhanced user experience with more hints and feedback, and neonatal and adult content.

The virtual ventilator is an immersive online mechanical ventilation training tool. This tool allows the user to take care of virtual patients without having to actually be in the intensive care unit; training can happen on any computer with an internet connection.

The virtual ventilator incorporates realtime changes in vital signs, ventilatory parameters, patient appearance, arterial blood gases, chest X-rays and more. Users are required to interpret physiologic, imaging and ventilator data, formulate diagnoses and make changes to best treat their patients.

When using the ventilator simulator:

  • Flash must be enabled to use the simulator. 

  • The simulator only stores progress for logged in users; to preserve your progress, please make sure to register and log in.
  • If the simulator does not completely fit in your browser window, you can adjust the size of the simulator by resizing your browser window.
  • Please send feedback or questions regarding the simulator to openpediatrics@childrens.harvard.edu.
