Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Recently, there has been much interest in the gamification of healthcare, such as virtual incentive spirometry gaming. Several studies have examined the addition of gamification e.g. virtual incentive spirometry devices. There is a paucity of data regarding the gamification of incentive spirometry, and there is no data involving trauma patients. Previous studies have enrolled either healthy volunteers or patients with specific lung pathology. This study to assess the safety, feasibility and efficacy of respiratory interventions in chest trauma patients using a therapeutic gamification platform.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients will be included if informed consent can be obtained from patient themselves and first session of incentive spirometry gamification can be performed within 48 hours of Trauma Intensive Care Unit (TICU) admission
* Adult patients (≥ 18 years of age) in the TICU with rib fractures or flail segment or a sternal fracture

Exclusion Criteria

* Trauma patients in the TICU who are mechanically ventilated or requiring bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP)
* Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) \< 15, at the time of enrollment
* Facial fractures precluding the use of incentive spirometry
* Any organ injury that precludes use of respiratory therapies in the clinical judgement of the clinical team
* Patients who are expected to be transferred out of the TICU or discharged from the TICU in the next 24 hours based on treating physicians judgment
* Patients who are transitioning to palliative care or expected to die in the next 48 hours based on treating physician's judgment will not be included
* Patients unable to consent for themselves
* Patients unable to use the mouthpiece of the Omniflow system, and those who have visual or hearing impairments that could limit their ability to evaluate the games
