In the evolving world of modern healthcare, respiratory care teams encounter many challenges that require a versatile skill set. Because of this, the scope of clinical practice is expanding, demanding more specialized training to ensure healthcare teams are providing patients the best care possible.
The challenges faced by the respiratory care community were heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic, affecting patient care and safety for those suffering from acute respiratory illness and chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs). Chronic conditions have been a significant contributor to premature mortality rates worldwide, as revealed by the alarming statistics from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Study1. These findings underscore the urgent need for improved preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic measures.
This study, along with others, emphasizes the need for respiratory care improvement strategies. Some of these include raising public awareness, improving access to diagnostic tools and medications, and providing more specialized training in respiratory care.
The rise in chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) underscores the urgency for enhanced preventive measures, improved treatment protocols, and heightened public awareness to mitigate the impacts on individuals and communities.
Improving respiratory care training requires a comprehensive and holistic approach, integrating various training solutions from high-fidelity simulators to task trainers. This strategy helps refine critical thinking in realistic scenarios and improve technical proficiency across diverse procedures.
From replicating complex clinical situations with a high-fidelity simulator to offering targeted practice on task trainers, our bundled solutions for respiratory care training can provide your team with tools to develop and refine competencies in a risk-free, controlled environment.

Advantages:
The educational and training needs of the new respiratory care environment continue to expand. The benefits of Laerdal’s training solutions can help. Through a systematic approach such as Laerdal’s Circle of Learning, we can combine solutions to help develop the psychomotor, decision-making, and team communication skills required to meet these rising challenges. The Circle of Learning serves as a bridge between cognitive and skills-based learning with real-life clinical experience. It should be viewed in the context of the whole, but each individual segment functions as an ever-evolving spiral toward lifelong learning and continuous clinical improvement.
