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.
Procedure steps
- Keep the fingers on the radial pulse to avoid changing the patient's breathing.
- Observe one full inspiration and expiration as one breath.
- Count for 30 seconds and multiply by two.
- Note depth, effort and any abnormal pattern.
- 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.
