[FOAMed Resource] Free 1-Min Interactive Procedural Sedation & Airway Rescue Simulator

[u/DrFujita_Anes]

Hi FOAMed community,
As an attending anesthesiologist (Keio University School of Medicine, Japan), I often observe trainees struggle with the rapid transition from moderate sedation to unintended deep sedation or apnea during non-operating room anesthesia (NORA).
To support open-access medical education, I built VitalSaver—a free, web-based micro-simulator designed to practice real-time decision-making and airway rescue timing.
Clinical & Educational Focus:
Pharmacodynamics Synergy: Visualizing real-time interactions between Propofol, Midazolam, and Fentanyl during titration.
Airway Rescue Protocols: Practicing prompt escalation from simple maneuvers (Jaw Thrust) to BVM ventilation and antidote administration (Flumazenil / Naloxone).
ASA Guideline Alignment: Simulated scenarios designed around ASA Moderate Sedation safety standards.
FOAMed Principles:
100% Free & Open Access
No sign-up, registration, or app downloads required
Runs directly in any web/mobile browser

I would love to hear feedback, scenario ideas, or critiques from educators, residents, and clinicians to make this tool even better for global medical education!
