Abstract:
Practical solutions are important in meeting the educational needs of patients and their caregivers. Using mobile technology offers a tremendous opportunity to teach specific skills to patients and/or to caregivers. This study aimed to develop a mobile-based application to support patients and their caregivers in meeting the tracheal suctioning information needs of patients with tracheostomies. The "ASSURE Instructional Design Model" was used to develop the material. This model enables the mobile-based application to be developed stepwise, which consists of 6 stages. The designing and development process of the mobile-based application requires following each step carefully, collaborating with different teams, obtaining the expert opinions and learners' feedback, as well as revising the material until it reaches the desired form. This article reports the design and development process of the mobile-based application by using the ASSURE Model and provides guidelines for researchers willing to study in this field.

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
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,...
