## Check the figure's status

Distinguish a clinically reviewed teaching figure from a development preview. Current public prototypes are labelled.

## Identify the parts

Read the labels and explanation before using a control or interpreting a change.

## Change one thing

Where interaction is available, explore one variable at a time. An illustrative model does not establish patient-specific predictions.

## Connect it to a source

Use the accompanying references and ask a de-identified research question to continue learning.

## A worked workflow example

Explore the underwater-seal-drain prototype as a design study. Its controls help you formulate a mechanism question. The illustrative model awaits clinical review and does not establish an individual clinical prediction.

### Your input

Ask: 'Which labels and relationships change when this prototype switches between spontaneous breathing and ventilation?' No patient or device settings are needed. The goal is to inspect the illustration and identify a mechanism question for source review.

### In AttendMe

Open Visual library, then the underwater-seal-drain preview. Read its development status. Select Spontaneous breathing, then Ventilated. Change one control at a time and use Reset preview between comparisons. The labelled buttons support touch; keyboard controls are also available.

### What you inspect

Read the equipment labels and observe which illustrated element changes. Record the observation as a prototype feature, not a verified physiological finding. The burn-depth study is a still illustration with no interactive diagnostic controls. Both previews await clinical review.

### Your reviewed result

Example learning note: 'Prototype: underwater seal. Control: Ventilated. Visual change: describe the observation. Mechanism question: identify what a clinical source must explain. Status: clinical review pending.' Continue with a de-identified research question or an appropriate source. Neither preview supports an individual management prediction.

## Before you reuse the result

Use this final check to decide whether the work is ready to discuss, save or continue. A useful output preserves its evidence, its scope and the questions it could not answer.

- The development and pending-review labels are clear before you use the preview.

- One labelled control changes at a time and the preview is reset between comparisons.

- Your observation is distinct from a verified physiological explanation.

- The next step is a mechanism question with an appropriate source.
