Measuring Vital Signs · Experience 05

Oxygen Saturation VR Nursing Simulation

The learner applies a pulse oximeter probe to the virtual patient's finger, checks for factors that distort the reading such as nail polish, poor perfusion and movement, waits for a stable waveform and interprets the SpO2 value.

Oxygen Saturation VR nursing scenario by ASFAN

Learning objectives

By the end of this experience the learner can:

  • Apply the probe correctly and confirm a stable signal.
  • Identify factors that produce false readings.
  • Interpret SpO2 with the patient's condition and oxygen therapy.
  • Escalate appropriately for low saturation.

Project Video

Watch the Oxygen Saturation experience recorded inside the ASFAN VR nursing simulator.

Procedure steps

  1. Select a warm, clean finger and remove nail polish if present.
  2. Attach the probe and wait for the waveform to stabilise.
  3. Read SpO2 and pulse and compare with the patient's baseline.
  4. Act on readings below the target range.
  5. Document the value and the oxygen delivery in use.

Assessment

The scenario introduces artefacts and checks whether the learner corrects them before recording.

Equipment and setting

Standalone VR headset with hand controllers, full-scale virtual patient and equipment, instructor screen mirroring, Arabic and English interface, offline operation on the campus network.
