Using an Interactive Decision Model to Train and Evaluate High-Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy Knowledge.

Respiratory therapy training is an educational space that relies on clinical practice to assist respiratory therapists (RTs) in making split-second decisions in emergency situations. A large percentage of education programs in the field have turned to simulation training to address this critical training need. Research indicates that while respiratory therapy simulation training is effective, its implementation faces challenges such as high costs, limited faculty expertise, gaps in skill and content coverage, and the need for proper learner support.
