Clinical Simulation
Pulmonary Embolism in VR
About This Course
What you'll experience
Joanne Black is a 55-year-old female diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She is admitted to the Gyne Oncology unit and is actively receiving chemotherapy. Joanne’s repeat CT show a decreased tumor burden and a surgery is planned for the next day. As a pre-op requirement, she received a blood transfusion for a Hb of 22 which ended 4 hours ago and was tolerated well. Approximately 30 minutes ago Joanne started developing shortness of breath and central chest discomfort. As a healthcare practitioner called upon to assess her, what would be your next course of action? This multiplayer open scenario VR session is designed to help learners identify and treat an acutely unwell patient suffering from pulmonary embolism.
Learning Objectives
- Perform a focused history/physical exam in an acutely unwell patient
- Effectively lead/manage a team to provide appropriate care for an acutely unwell patient
- Recognize risk for PE and initiate the appropriate workup
- Demonstrate clear leadership and effective team communication
- Appropriately ask for help and communicate concerns over the phone
- Urgently mobilize appropriate consultant services

Core Skills Training
Core Skill
Pulmonary Embolism
In the role of a healthcare practitioner, the learner is expected to assess a visibly dyspneic patient. As part of this module, the learner will interact with the patient following routine examination procedure. The learner will study the patient’s vitals, start IV fluids and interpret her ECG and CXR. With the patient’s condition deteriorating, the learners will call for an immediate CPR and raise a code blue.
