PEDVENT is an interactive teaching simulator for paediatric ventilation and applied respiratory physiology (ages 0–18 years · PICU). Change the lung or the ventilator settings and watch waveforms, mechanics and arterial blood gas respond in real time. Explore invasive and non-invasive modes, paediatric lung states (including PARDS, severe asthma, blocked ETT and pneumothorax), weaning and NIV guidance, and workshop-style cases — built for education and training. What you can practise * Set mode and ventilatory settings; see live pressure, flow and volume graphics * Compare lung states — normal lungs as the reference, then disease states that change compliance, resistance, shunt and dead space * Read peak vs plateau, auto-PEEP, P–V loop behaviour and simulated ABG together * Use Live ABG, Weaning, NIV Guide and Cases as teaching companions IMPORTANT * For education and training only * Not a medical device * Not for diagnosis, treatment, monitoring or clinical decision-making * Model ABGs and case answers are simplified teaching estimates, not clinical algorithms Created by Prof. Dr. Satish Deopujari, Professor Emeritus, Paediatric Critical Care
