Background:
- Effective patient and caregiver education is crucial for managing health conditions.
- Mobile technology presents a significant opportunity to deliver accessible and targeted health information.
- Patients with tracheostomies require specific knowledge regarding tracheal suctioning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a mobile-based application for educating patients with tracheostomies and their caregivers.
- To address the information needs related to tracheal suctioning procedures.
- To provide a practical tool for skill acquisition and knowledge enhancement.
Main Methods:
- The ASSURE Instructional Design Model was employed for systematic development.
- The application was designed and developed through a stepwise process.
- Expert opinions and user feedback were incorporated throughout the development lifecycle.
Main Results:

1.8K
Oxygen therapy is a pivotal aspect of medical care, particularly for patients with respiratory ailments. Two prominent oxygen-delivering systems include the Venturi mask and the transtracheal oxygen catheter.
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
