Connecting concepts and interactive tools for Respiratory Therapy education and clinical readiness.

Interactive Slider
ABG Compensation Visualizer
An interactive slider-based visualizer that demonstrates the dynamic relationship between acid and base levels. Use this tool to visualize exactly how respiratory and metabolic components shift to achieve physiological compensation.

Clinical Tool
ABC of ABGs
An assessment tool designed for detailed arterial blood gas analysis. This module provides in-depth clinical interpretation to help bridge the gap between raw data and patient bedside application, including anion gap and compensation checks.
Open ABG Plus
Ventilator Calculator
Desired PaCO2
Determine the specific ventilator adjustments required to reach target CO2 levels. This calculator helps bridge the gap between current ABG results and necessary changes to Minute Ventilation (Frequency or Tidal Volume).
Calculate Changes
Oxygen Ratio Tool
Magic Box
Determine the air-to-oxygen ratio quickly and accurately. This tool helps calculate oxygen blending relationships for clinical setups and supports a clearer understanding of how room air and oxygen combine to achieve a desired FiO2.

Pharmacology Guide
Medication Guide
A high-yield reference for common respiratory medications. This module breaks down dosages, indications, and delivery methods for bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids, and mucolytics.

Timing Tool
Total Cycle Time (TCT)
Master the mechanics of ventilator timing. Calculate TCT, I-Time, and E-Time based on respiratory rate and I:E ratios to ensure appropriate patient synchrony and avoid air trapping.
Open TCT Tool
PFT Visualizer
Volumes and Capacities
Visualizing the components of lung volumes and capacities. This tool helps differentiate between obstructive and restrictive lung disease patterns through volumetric analysis.

Diffusion Visualizer · Updated Version
Alveolar and Diffusion — Updated
Explore animated alveolar exchange with green oxygen-loading and pink carbon-dioxide-unloading bars. Includes hemoglobin controls, anemia and polycythemia modes, membrane changes, and the respiratory quotient (RQ) illustration.
Open Updated Visualizer
Diffusion Visualizer · Earlier Version
Alveolar and Diffusion
Open the earlier diffusion and oxygen-carrying-capacity visualizer. Compare normal hemoglobin, anemia, polycythemia, and a combined polycythemia-plus-diffusion-barrier example using the original carrier display.
Open Earlier Visualizer
Gas Exchange Animation
Alveolar Gas Exchange
Follow oxygen and carbon dioxide across an animated alveolus and capillary, or switch to the loading-dock analogy. Adjust gas pressures, membrane thickness, and exchange area, then explore the separate respiratory quotient (RQ) illustration.

Spirometry Simulator
Spirometry Trainer
Practice with a bedside-style spirometry console featuring simulated maneuvers, flow–volume loops, and volume–time curves. Review trial results and quality indicators, then check your interpretation using the trainer’s simplified examples.
Launch Bedside Trainer
Pulmonary Function Simulator
Pulmonary Function Laboratory
Explore the laboratory-style spirometry console with calibration practice, patient settings, simulated testing, and results review. Use the flow–volume and volume–time displays to practice interpretation and receive answer feedback.
