New Menu Experience
We have updated SIMVANA's main menu design to make it more user-friendly and easily accessible. Our new menu system ensures that users can quickly find and access any lesson they need, allowing for a smoother and more efficient learning experience.
Updated Anesthesia Circuit
We took some time during this development cycle to overhaul the anesthesia circuit and breathing mask. Users should find it much easier to interact with the anesthesia circuit and breathing mask during mastery lesson. This update has also opened the door to more advanced functionality coming later this year. Keep an eye out for intubation lessons later this year!
Unreal Engine Update
This release includes a major update to Unreal Engine, the framework SIMVANA is built on. This update includes numerous graphics and physics updates. Users should notice improvements in graphical fidelity as well as better performance while using SIMVANA.
Bug Fixes
Ventilation lesson fixes - We made some changes to the ventilation lessons to prevent users from accidentally completing objectives if the user coughs while the user is using the breathing bag.
Updated patient response to intravenous drugs - We made some tweaks to the patient's physiological response to intravenous drugs. The patient should react more realistically to Ephedrine and Etomidate.
