ED Thoracotomy
A 26-year-old male is brought to the trauma room with a single stab wound to his cardiac box. He has been intubated by the paramedic team. ED thoracotomy will have to be performed to gain access to the heart and suture the wound.
Pilonidal Abscess Removal
A twenty-nine-year-old patient is visiting for a pilonidal abscess removal. She has got an abscess on her upper right buttock and has been given conscious sedation to perform the procedure. Practice the complete procedure from preoperative protocols to postoperative dressing in a safe virtual environment.
Thoracentesis
Thoracentesis refers to the procedure performed to aspirate fluid from the pleural space. This could be done for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. In this given case, the patient has pneumothorax, calling for a thoracentesis procedure.
Knee Arthrocentesis
A 53-year-old male patient has suffering right-sided knee pain and swelling. This could be a case of gout or septic arthritis. Knee arthrocentesis is advised, a minor surgical procedure done to aspirate synovial fluid from the knee joint.
Paracentesis
Paracentesis refers to a body fluid sampling procedure in which a needle or catheter is inserted in the peritoneal cavity to obtain ascitic fluid. This could be for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
Lumbar Puncture
This could be a case of meningitis. To establish a definitive diagnosis a lumbar puncture procedure will be performed. It involves drawing cerebrospinal fluid from the spinal canal of the lower back region.
Chest Tube Insertion
Juan is a 48-year-old male who suffers shortness of breath and right-sided chest pain on inspiration. An x-ray was ordered that showed a right pneumothorax. The patient will need a chest tube insertion.
CVC Insertion – Advanced
Jacob, 52-year-old male patient, is admitted for an infection and has antibiotics ordered. IV access has been tried numerous times without success. The attending physician has ordered a central venous catheter placement.
Tracheostomy Care
Fifty-seven-year-old Patrick has had to undergo a tracheostomy procedure due to an infection in his epiglottis. The success of the surgery largely depends upon the post-procedural care for which nurses need adequate training.
Colostomy Care
Caring for a colostomy patient includes tasks like emptying and changing the colostomy bag, cleaning the stoma, and applying adhesive wafer. All this has to be performed keeping in mind the comfort and safety of the patient.
CLABSI Prevention
CLABSI is completely preventable if strict protocol is adhered to. With adequate training, healthcare professionals can adopt preventive measures at every step of an insertion procedure to maintain a CLABSI-free insertion.
PICC Removal
Performing a PICC removal in a virtually simulated environment with a virtual patient provides nurses practice in the procedure and helps them identify the nature of problems they may encounter in real-life scenarios.
Burn Wound Care
Elizabeth Clark is a 38-year-old female who has suffered burn injury about a week back. Walking with a stock pot of hot Alfredo sauce, she accidentally hit her elbow against a rack and caused the sauce to splash onto her arm.
PICC Insertion
Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) is an intravenous catheter guided through the vein to reach the tip of the superior vena cava, a vein that carries blood to the heart.
Bone Marrow Biopsy & Aspiration
For bone marrow aspiration, a small portion of fluid is withdrawn from the marrow using a Jamshidi aspiration needle. For biopsy, a small section of the solid marrow is extracted for medical examination purposes.
Foley Catheter Insertion – Female
Urinary catheterization is a core nursing procedure that involves introducing a thin, long, flexible sterile tube into a patient’s bladder through the urethra in order to drain urine.
CVC Insertion – Assistance
CV catheters are essential in treating several conditions and prove useful in obtaining information like right ventricular preload, cardiovascular status and fluid balance in patients.
Lateral Canthotomy
Marvin Jones, 21-years-old, was involved in a motor vehicle collision. He has suffered blunt force and facial injuries. You need to check the IOP using a tonometer, and if required, perform a lateral canthotomy.
IV Insertion and Removal
Clark, a 51-year-old male, requires an IV insertion as a pre-operative measure. As a nurse, your job is to place the IV correctly and as painlessly as possible. You will also have to remove the IV at the end of the treatment.
NG Tube Insertion
Jason, a 45-year-old male has recently undergone an abdominal surgery. As a postoperative procedure, his doctor has suggested an NG tube insertion to administer medication and nutrients, and facilitate gastric lavage.
