COPD Exacerbation Simulation – Managing the Deteriorating Respiratory Patient

Описание: This immersive simulation scenario explores the acute deterioration of a patient with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Designed for multidisciplinary clinical teams, the session challenges participants to recognise clinical signs of a COPD exacerbation and make timely, evidence-based decisions to optimise respiratory function and escalate appropriately.

🔍 Learning Objectives:

Identify signs and symptoms of an acute COPD exacerbation

Perform a structured A–E assessment

Deliver appropriate oxygen therapy while avoiding hypercapnia

Initiate bronchodilators, steroids, and consider antibiotics based on guidelines

Discuss escalation, including non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR) conversations

Demonstrate clear communication and teamwork under pressure

Perfect for junior doctors, nurses, respiratory teams, and anyone working in acute medical or emergency care settings.
