A nursing education simulator that exhibits vital reactions that enables training in endotratracheal suctioning, repositioning, and tube feeding

Abstract

This paper describes a functional expansion of a nursing education simulator that has been developed focusing on the endotracheal suctioning. Most patients who require endotracheal suctioning also require tube feeding. In addition to sputum aspiration and repositioning, by providing training functions for tube feeding, educational elements of the nursing simulator, such as the relationship between tasks, and the vital reactions to the procedures, are expanded.
