Would you like to build your own game?

It's easy!

Go to the GameBuilder and get started!

Topics of this game:
  • During pressure ventilation what variable is set on the ventilator and which will vary depending on your child?
  • During volume ventilation what variable is set on the ventilator and which will vary depending on your child?
  • What are the three different breath types?
  • Who decides when to start the breath during a spontaneous breath?
  • Who decides when to start the breath during a mandatory breath?
  • Who decides when to start the breath during an assisted breath?
  • Who decides when to end the breath during a spontaneous breath?
  • Who decides when to end the breath during a mandatory breath?
  • Who decides when to end the breath during an assisted breath?
  • Is a spontaneous breath fully or partially supported?
  • Is a mandatory breath fully or partially supported?
  • Is an assisted breath fully or partially supported?
  • What is partial support in terms of ventilation?
  • What is total, or full, support in terms of ventilation?
  • What do you call the amount of air that is delivered to the lungs by the ventilator in one breath?
  • What length of time is respiratory rate set for?
  • What is minute volume/minute ventilation?
  • Can your child change their inspiratory time during a spontaneous breath?
  • Can your child change their inspiratory time during an assisted breath?
  • What setting determines how long your child will breathe in for?
  • What displayed value can help you determine how much time your child spends breathing in versus breathing out?
  • What units is the inspiratory flow rate measured in?
  • Does the patient trigger start or end the breath?
  • How does the ventilator know that your child is trying to take a breath?
  • What does the PIP help your child with?
  • Which setting helps your child keep their lungs open during expiration?
  • What pressure setting accounts for the difference in pressure between the PIP and PEEP?
  • What does the displayed PIP tell you?
  • Does the Trilogy display inhaled or exhaled tidal volume and how is this displayed on your child's ventilator screen?
  • What does the displayed peak flow tell you?
  • Is the peak flow the same for each breath?
  • How can you tell if your child is triggering breaths?
  • What does MAP stand for?
  • What types of breaths can be delivered during SIMV?
  • What does SIMV stand for?
  • Does SIMV provide full or partial respiratory support?
  • Is SIMV able to deliver breaths in sync with your child's own breathing pattern and effort? What does this mean for your child?
  • What happens if your child makes no effort to trigger a breath in SIMV?
  • What safety feature is in place in SIMV for your child to ensure they still are ventilating even if they are not making any effort to breath?
  • In SIMV what type of breath will your child receive if the ventilator senses that they are making an effort to take a breath?
