IU vs PEDVENT

Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is a new use of an older imaging modality. Clinicians and health care professionals employ this revolutionary imaging modality at the bedside to improve clinical care and provide faster and more efficient diagnoses. POCUS has its roots in Emergency Medicine and evaluating trauma at the bedside. However, in the last few decades the uses of POCUS have spread outside of the emergency department and touches almost every sphere of health care services. Indiana University School of Medicine has recognized the potential for POCUS to revolutionize health care delivery and invested in multiple training and educational opportunities for students, residents, faculty, and allied health professionals. We included the latest videos, content, and modules available through the Indiana University School of Medicine Point of Care Ultrasound education content. This app is intended as an education companion for POCUS enthusiasts engaged in IU School of Medicine POCUS training content. Links are included for further education content on other platforms, as well.

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
