Madison College XR Center

An inside look at a cutting-edge facility.

“Having the XR Center has allowed us to bring VR into the classroom … If we wanted VR to take off, we needed to have a dedicated space… to make it the best experience it could possibly be … As the word gets out, and we’re able to show efficacy with what we’re doing with VR, it’s going to put Madison College ahead of even 4 year research universities.”

Dynamic Cardiology

Miles Johnson was recently released from the hospital after treatment for Congestive Heart Failure. He will progress into cardiac arrest due to a heart attack. This scenario is designed to be used as a live, instructor-led scenario and is compatible with both VR and Non-VR mode.

Case 1, Case 2, Case 3, Case 4, Case 5

Pediatric Airway Distress

Luisa is an asthmatic patient who is having severe symptoms today due to exposure to flowers. This scenario is designed to be used as a live, instructor-led scenario and is compatible with both VR and Non-VR mode. The focus of this scenario is on treating an acute pediatric asthma patient. The patient will improve with standard treatment of nebulizers and anti-inflammatories.

Case 1

Geriatric CHF_AHF

Miles was recently released from the hospital after treatment for Congestive Heart Failure. He has now returned to the ER with similar symptoms.

The student will be expected to act as the team leader in caring for a CHF patient that becomes an AHF patient. The focus should be on the recognition that the CPAP is causing a drop in preload after being applied, and should be removed for alternative treatment. Intubation should be the last resort only after other treatments are exhausted.

Case 1

Adult Asthmatic Patient

Amit is an asthmatic patient who is having severe symptoms today that his regular medications were unable to control.

The student will be expected to act as the team leader in caring for an acute asthma patient This patient scenario is designed to be fairly simple and could be used for all levels of care. The focus of this scenario is on treating an acute asthma patient who will improve with standard treatment of nebulizers and anti-inflammatories.

Case 1

Adult Tension Pneumothorax

Simon is a truck driver and he stopped into the ER because he is having fairly severe right-sided chest pain along with shortness of breath.

The student will be expected to act as the team leader in caring for a patient experiencing simple pneumothorax progressing into a tension pneumothorax. Correct needle thoracostomy will relieve the pressure and the patient will recover.

Case 1

Geriatric Sepsis

Miles has been seen recently for a severe Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), and his symptoms have gotten worse over the past 3-4 days and now he feels sick overall.

The student will be expected to act as the team leader in caring for a geriatric sepsis patient. Aggressive fluid administration is associated with better outcomes in the treatment and prevention of Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) as well as better overall outcomes including hospital discharge. The focus of this simulation is the proper treatment of a geriatric sepsis patient.
