TruVent

Learn the basics of mechanical ventilation.

No ventilator, no simulator required. All you need is two tablets.

Current simulation training solutions for ventilation management require access to an actual ventilator. TruVent is an innovative virtual simulation app to teach ventilation management safely without the need for a ventilator or a simulator. With TruVent, learners with limited experience can gain the basic skills needed to operate a ventilator with ease.

Teach ventilation quickly and easily

Building clinical competence and confidence to manage a ventilator is a challenge. The high risk associated with mechanical ventilation requires both basic skills training and training for complex respiratory scenarios. With TruVent, instructors can adjust underlying patient characteristics, creating clinically accurate respiratory simulations that will display appropriate pressure, flow, and volume curves in real time.

TruVent is a perfect solution for

New or novice healthcare professionals

Reassigned or returning healthcare professionals

Trainees in respiratory anesthesiology programs or ICU's

No ventilator required

All you need is a tablet

The TruVent simulation platform allows users to learn the basics of mechanical ventilation management without the need for a ventilator or even a manikin. The instructor and each student need only a tablet. Students can adjust ventilation parameters and respiratory engine adjusts accordingly.

A convenient cost-effective solution

In-class or remote training

With this app-based solution, instructors can train multiple learners at the same time either in a class setting or remotely from different locations.

It takes only minutes to pair your tablets for wireless control. Even without Wi-Fi, a connection is available via Bluetooth.

Operated by iOS or Android devices.

Easy to use. Easy to learn.
Easy access from anywhere.
