Evaluation of the Application Effectiveness of Mechanical Simulation Lungs in Mechanical Ventilation Teaching for New ICU Nurses in Standardized Training
Objective:To explore the effectiveness of using mechanical simulation lungs in teaching mechanical ventilation during standardized training for new nurses in the ICU and to improve their theoretical and practical skills in mechanical ventilation.Methods:A total of 60 undergraduate nursing students who participated in standardized training from August 2019 to July 2020 were selected.The experimental group used mechanical simulation lungs for both theoretical and practical teaching of mechanical ventilation,while the control group used conventional simulation lungs with traditional lecture-based teaching.After the training,both theoretical and practical assessments were conducted,and teaching effectiveness was evaluated through questionnaires.Results:The experimental group scored higher in theoretical assessments,including short-answer questions and total scores,compared to the control group.In practical assessments,the experimental group outperformed the control group in manual lung recruitment,resistance and compliance measurement,and mechanical ventilation waveform recognition,with P<0.05 indicating statistical significance.Conclusion:The application of mechanical simulation lungs in standardized training for new ICU nurses significantly improves their theoretical and practical skills in mechanical ventilation,enhances teaching satisfaction,and is worthy of wider promotion.
