Respiration Rate VR nursing scenario by ASFAN

Learning objectives

By the end of this experience the learner can:

  • Count respirations without alerting the patient.
  • Assess depth, rhythm and use of accessory muscles.
  • Recognise tachypnoea, bradypnoea and abnormal patterns.
  • Document accurately.

Project Video

Watch the Respiration Rate experience recorded inside the ASFAN VR nursing simulator.

Procedure steps

  1. Keep the fingers on the radial pulse to avoid changing the patient's breathing.
  2. Observe one full inspiration and expiration as one breath.
  3. Count for 30 seconds and multiply by two.
  4. Note depth, effort and any abnormal pattern.
  5. Record the result.

Assessment

The count is checked against the simulated respiratory rate and abnormal patterns must be identified.

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.
