Sunnybrook is inventing the future of health-care through education

Oxygen Therapy Protocol COVID-19

Dear learner:

Welcome to your virtual reality education on the Airvo 2, oxygen concentrator and HiOx Mask. The immersive education has been divided into three segments:

  1. Orientation/Instructional Videos: there are five instructional videos filmed in first-person VR.
  2. Immersive 360-degree image: here you will be immersed in a treatment room with a roadmap to tips and device instructional videos for managing a respiratory/oxygenation failure patient.
  3. Simulation - "Putting it all Together": here you will first-hand experience the management of a patient in a live-action respiratory/oxygenation failure scenario.
