Lung Infection, Trauma and Respiratory Failure Lab

Change shunt, dead space, breathing rate and oxygen and watch the blood gas respond, practice with unlimited questions at three levels, race the clock sorting chest emergencies, and work through bedside scenarios with fictional patients. Nothing here is graded.

Part 1: Gas Exchange Explorer

Teaching modelA simplified lung: shunt is the share of blood passing flooded or collapsed alveoli, dead space is the share of each breath that reaches no blood. Breathing rate sets carbon dioxide; inspired oxygen sets alveolar oxygen. Real patients are more complex.

Your jobPick a patient, then move the sliders to see why each disorder produces its blood gas. Work through the five challenges below.

Patients

Shunt (flooded alveoli)

Dead space (no blood flow)

Respiratory rate

Inspired oxygen (FiO2)

Chronic CO2 retainer (HCO3 32, kidneys have compensated)

Challenges

Part 2: Practice Trainer

Wrong picks are fine. Each one tells you why, and you can try again.

Level

Streak 0Best 0Right 0 of 0

The streak counts questions answered right on the first try without opening the hint. Questions come from a written bank plus number problems (P/F ratio, blood gases, CURB-65, RSBI) that are generated fresh each time, so practice never runs out.

Part 3: Beat the Clock

Relaxed mode (no timer) 1:15

Your job

Press Start. Tap a card, then tap the box it belongs in. A wrong box costs 3 seconds. Cards are buttons, so Tab and Enter work too.

Part 4: In Real Life

Fictional patients and simplified findings. For learning only.

Wrong picks are fine here. Each one tells you why.

For learning only: the simulator is a simplified teaching model, patients are fictional, and nothing here is medical advice or a substitute for your facility's protocols and provider orders. Learn the ideas first in the Lung Infection, Trauma and Respiratory Failure Walkthrough.
