This video helped me to under the purpose of the oscillator and how it works. I have my state exam approaching and I feel much better now to answer questions regarding this. Plus it helped to better understand the changes that would need to be made to increase/decrease pCO2 and p02. THANK YOU!!!!
good day! just wanna ask regarding the hz and amplitude. in managing hfov, which is the 1st one between the hz and amplitude to be change or manipulate 1st if the blood gas shows pco2 retention or respiratory acidosis?
I'm also confused but I think the reasoning is because the Tidal volume is low so when he's refereeing to the low MAP it is in reference to the amount of MAP needed to achieve a higher Tidal volume and when he refers to a high it is in reference to proportion of MAP to Tidal volume being higher than normal but also low since TV is low. The higher MAP promotes better lung recruitment for gas exchange and the higher Fio2 compensates for the deadspace ventilation.
Khalsa Al Siyabi It is nice to hear from a fellow ventilation fan. Are you a student or practicing? I'm always interested in who and where there are practicioners of the ventilator arts, allan.prost@sait.ca Al
