Lung simulators do a lot more than most people realize. From classrooms to clinical settings, they give teams a safe way to learn, test, and refine the skills that matter.

Here are some of the most common ways programs use our TTL and PneuView systems:

- Classroom Training: Give students hands-on practice with real respiratory mechanics.
- Equipment Testing: Verify ventilator performance and troubleshoot devices with realistic lung loads.
- Hospital Training: Help clinicians build confidence with new therapies and devices before using them on patients.
- Research & Development: Design, test, and improve respiratory tools with accurate, repeatable simulation.
- Simulation Labs: Create lifelike scenarios to strengthen decision-making and clinical readiness.

If your program needs realistic, reliable simulation, there’s a setup that fits your goals.

The Hidden Impact of Va**ng on Lung Health

Va**ng may look harmless, but new insights from Johns Hopkins and the American Lung Association show how it can quietly damage the lungs long before symptoms become obvious. Researchers warn that va**ng triggers inflammation, weakens immunity, and can set the stage for chronic respiratory issues later in life.

Doctors are seeing more young people with recurring coughs, infections, and asthma that suddenly becomes harder to control. These small warning signs often add up to bigger problems over time.

Training with non-invasive ventilation can feel very different when you can actually see how a mask, cannula, or resuscitator interacts with a real facial structure. That’s why many programs add our Head Simulation Modules to their TTL or PneuView setups.

These modules give students and clinicians a clearer picture of how CPAP, BiPAP, oxygen delivery, or bag-valve-mask techniques work in real time. They’re available in both adult and infant versions, connect easily to any TTL or PneuView system, and make simulation scenarios feel much more like real patient care.

If your team teaches or tests NIV, airway techniques, or oxygen delivery, these modules can bring your training to the next level.

Manual CPR is tough to keep consistent, especially when you’re on the move or managing a long code. That’s why both EMS crews and hospital teams turn to automated CPR for steady, reliable compressions when it matters most.

In the field: Automated CPR helps responders switch quickly from manual compressions, keep CPR going during transport, and stay focused on airway, meds, and patient assessment without fatigue.

In the hospital, Teams use it for longer codes, improved blood flow, better patient access, and consistent compressions across units.

Wherever cardiac arrest happens, reliable CPR gives every patient a better chance.

New Study Shows Lung Cancer Screening Misses Most Patients

A new Northwestern Medicine study found that current lung cancer screening guidelines would miss nearly two-thirds of people who are ultimately diagnosed. Many of those who fall through the cracks are women and people who have never smoked.

Researchers are pushing for universal age-based screening from 40 to 85, which could detect up to 94 percent of lung cancers and save thousands of lives each year. To support that shift, Northwestern has launched a new Lung Health Center providing fast, low-dose CT scans that help catch lung, heart and bone issues earlier.

It’s a big step toward earlier detection, better outcomes, and closing long-standing gaps in who gets screened.

Trying to decide between the TTL and PneuView lung simulators? Both offer realistic, hands-on respiratory training, but the right choice depends on what your program needs.

The TTL is great if you want a fully mechanical setup. No software, no electronics, just reliable analog measurements and dynamic response you can feel in real time. It works well for classroom demos, hands-on skill building, and research.

The PneuView includes everything you get with the TTL but adds digital monitoring and real-time data. With waveforms, recorded sessions, and detailed measurements, it is perfect for programs that want deeper analysis or need to review performance later.

If you’re not sure which fits your goals, we are always happy to talk through it.

There’s a big difference between a simulator that works for a semester and one that keeps going for years.

In busy training programs, equipment gets pushed, adjusted, carried around, and used by countless hands. When it isn’t built to hold up, the whole program feels it. That’s why durability matters more than people realize.

Our latest blog looks at why long-lasting simulation tools make such a difference for instructors, students, and anyone relying on consistent, accurate performance. If your program is dealing with downtime or unreliable equipment, this one’s worth a read.

Wildfire smoke doesn’t just affect the air around us. New research from UNC shows it can actually change the bacteria and immune cells inside our lungs after even brief exposure.

These changes may increase the risk of developing or worsening conditions like asthma and COPD, especially as wildfires become more frequent. Researchers hope this discovery leads to better prevention and treatment strategies, including new ways to restore healthy lung bacteria after smoke exposure.

When Leonard Osborn collapsed at home, his heart stopped for 16 minutes. Thanks to the quick response of EMS crews and the Life-Stat mechanical CPR device, Leonard got a second chance at life.

The Life-Stat kept steady, high-quality compressions going while first responders focused on other critical care. By the time he reached the hospital, Leonard’s heart was beating again.

Stories like this show the power of teamwork, preparation, and reliable technology in saving lives.

November 19 is World COPD Awareness Day, a global effort led by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease - GOLD to shine a light on one of the world’s leading causes of death.

This year’s theme, “Short of Breath, Think COPD,” encourages earlier diagnosis and treatment for those showing signs like chronic cough, shortness of breath, or frequent respiratory infections. COPD is preventable and treatable, but millions go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed every year.

By raising awareness, we can help more people get the care they need sooner and improve their quality of life.
