How Coronavirus Kills: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) & COVID 19 Treatment 

MedCram - Medical Lectures Explained CLEARLY ... well that got ya a sub.👍 God Bless from Australia bud

Are there other medications added in order to hasten the healing process?

@@offgridjohn871 Thanks!

Medcram - Brilliant explanation and thank you for explaining the processes via visual drawings .. I understood you perfectly !!! Let's pray that this insidious virus goes as quickly as it's arrived.

You simplified how the lung works very well I definitely have a better understanding I’ve started watching your videos and have subscribed I also have a thought and was wondering if anyone has tried something like it So I’m looking at this from a mechanic point of view just curious if you could tap into a artery run the blood through a artificial oxygenation taking some of the work off of the lungs long enough for the swelling to go away I understand it’s invasive but if it’s a last ditch effort or maybe becomes as easy as dialysis I would like to see feed back from the medical community on this idea

@Wal Leece Coronavirus is qualitatively different. 40 to 70% of the world will get coronovirus according to a Harvard doctor who was just on Dateline.

Wal Leece only this is not the ordinary flu and worse than the flu because the treatment for flu is not gonna help you while the coronavirus in your body is going to keep going. But since you wanna act like it’s nothing to be concerned about let’s hope you don’t get it and just knock on wood

please read my post on why he is wrong about ventilator care. he did explain the anatomy and alveoli well

Dedar Doo same

Exactly understanding HOW it actually affects our bodies better prepares people to deal with the symptoms so its we can treat it in its earlier stages rather than later

But there's no cure..

He’s only explaining SARS SARS is to the coronavirus as secret sauce is to a BigMac.

Thank you for explaining this so that we laymen (and women) can understand.

Thank you for your support!

Me too. Trauma. Masters. 19 Countries and I’ve never seen anything like this and I was out there in the trenches for SARS. He’s spot on and I tell EVERYONE to follow him. I can’t explain it this well and you know we aren’t dummies! You go Sister♥️

Great explanation of ARDS....best I’ve ever seen in 12 years of critical care nursing! Well done!

I always knew you'd be a nurse

@@ritzbitz1905 yep, as he was talking about over breathing the vent with the low tidal volume i was like, okay so paralyze them...then he goes...so we paralyze them...and then we he got to the PRONING part i was all giddy! this is EXACTLY how our team trouble shoots. like he said, you want a STRONG ancillary team -and you wanna pull in your novice youngin's and teach them how a strong team functions

Right!!!!

I so agree with this comment.

This MAN MADE DISEASE 😂👍🏻👍🏻 that’s been out for years ? My mom is a DR and she had been treating patients for this virus and stated she doesn’t understand why it’s all the sudden this big deal it’s like a common cold . CDC trying to make money off you brain washed idiots!

Great comment. So true.

Agreed, so far, this is the best video yet regarding the coronavirus outbreak. I like knowing what I'm dealing with and what to expect if I catch it. Uncertainty and fear only lead to hysteria, and nobody wants that.

Fear comes from the unknown

so wait a bit, those who were infected with this coronavirus and have survived already have immunity, right?

Divad Ignawm yeah unless it mutates which means they will have partial immunity kind of like a flu shot kind of how it’s kind of a guess for each strain

Your mom sounds like the kind of person to have nice teeth.

I feel you. My mom also died of lung cancer and this video made me understand what she was going through when she had difficulty in breathing. :(

Understanding what happened helps with closure.

Unfortunately, not all teachers can teach.

So you skipped class because you were having trouble understanding the material even though that obviously made the situation worse? And have you ever considered that your lack of understanding of what you did hear was likely due to all the material your missed on the days you were absent? Just saying.

Jan96106 much too advanced of an explanation he doesn’t understand the third comma you placed

Or maybe you should stop taking every RU-vid comment too serious? And I've got people who had college degree in business how to start a business so I think I've good at where I am at.

patti watanabe Good to know! Thank you.

@@josegarcia6158 there is no cure right now

@@josegarcia6158 The "cure" for it is surviving it (only the worst cases such as very young and very old with debilitating conditions need ventilators) and by doing so your body produces antibodies against it. However, down the road if the virus mutates as they often do, return to the beginning of the cycle.

YOUR A BOT CHANNEL

Things has so fast certainly changed to your schoolings and since.

No you have never been prepared to this wide spread edemice . They never taught you to your nursing school in real taught to huge pandemic.

They never beileved something would have become so bad. This is going to take months stay well to it as medicals professionals.

You should work closely with a Respiratory Therapist in the ICU, you would realize he is so wrong

@@ritadeniston8986 I'm retired & haven't worked with vents for a long while. Yes, I did work closely with RT's & learned a lot from them. Thanks.

Thanks God. Used medical science and humans for the save. Using technology for the communication.

ARDS is well known to Respiratory Therapist, it is not something new, please read my comment about his lecture being wrong

@@ritadeniston8986 Thank you, I am well aware that it is not new. 1992 was a looong time ago ( when she contracted the virus) Not much known about how to properly treat until about 2000. The virus caused, pneumonia, then attacked her lungs with an overly aggressive immune system response. Covid -19 is absolutely causing acute Respiratory Distress. This is how people are dying. Patient eventually can end up with tears in lungs , which turn into scarring, in turn - rendering the lungs like leather and useless. Eventually there is no hope. All Corona-19 is, is a new group/strain of viruses, it's not the disease itself. My mother contracted a corona virus which could not be treated. Acute respiratory distress is just that - acute distress and damage to respiratory system, namely, the lungs- which is exactly what is causing death. Sorry I couldn't find the "response" that you mentioned you had posted regarding this video. You could copy and paste in a reply to this comment, I'd love to see it.

@@newcarpet10 Rita Deniston 1 day ago Your lecture is so outdated, and just wrong. I am a Registered Respiratory Therapist for over 40 years. I have worked at Level 1 hospitals and trauma centers for all of my career. 1. We do not use Low Tidal Volumes, we assess the pt and try to give him his normal tidal volume. We do use low levels of PEEP (Positive End-Expiratory Pressure) YES Peep keeps the alveoli open, It is easier to ventilate an open alveoli. It also causes less trauma to the lungs. You want to maintain the lungs and other body systemsand parts, heart kidneys etc as normal as possible. You do not want to cause an abnormal shifts to the body. Ex.(if you are in kidney failure and your body is normally acidic, you do not want to rapidly try to make the body alkiline.) 2. You try to never paralyze the patient unless absolutely necessary. With Low tidal volumes and paralysis you are not properly ventilating the patient, Causing atelectasis (under inflated lungs) and a acid base shift with low O2 levels and high Co2 levels, which could kill the pt. paralysis causes all kind of problems besides respiratory issues. 3. The PRONE POSITION: REALLY YOU HAVE LOST YOUR MIND yes the prone position has been tried. the only benefit was keeping a fat belly from pushing up on the diaphram. You are not able to see the pt and assess them, check your ventilator tubing, besides it is very uncomfortable to have straps fight gravity pushing on your body. I am retired, I am thinking of helping during the COv19 crisis, I would love to explain things to you. But what you are saying is GARBAGE Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, is kind of a generic term, Acute means sudden, and respiratory distress is just that your lungs have been damaged for what ever reason. The one thing we try to do is maintain the breathing to give the medications and other things time to fix whatever had made the patient ill. When a virus like this one hits your body, there are multiple things going on, it is not just secretions in your lungs that kill you. A lot of it is all the stress put on all your bodies organs. It can be come a cascading effect. If your kidneys are damaged it causes your heart to work harder because the kidneys aren't able to get rid of all the excess fluid, that builds up in your blood stream, making your heart work harder to circulate the excess fluid, in turn the excess fluid can back up into your lungs, (the path of least resistance) causing pulmonary edema, which blocks your alveoli and makes it difficult to get oxygen into your blood stream and your organs, So it isn't just the effects on the lungs, it is the combination of stresses. I hope I am able to explain it so that you can have some understanding from the Respiratory Therapist point of view. Rita Deniston RRT RDMS, CHT

@@ritadeniston8986 It would help if you cite resources instead of referring to your own personal viewpoint. Uptodate is pretty much the gold standard for clinical decision support. Rather than criticize "REALLY YOU HAVE LOST YOUR MIND". (besides being rude), why don't you counter with a peer reviewed (not anecdotal report) of your claims.

it is a CROCK, please read my post about just how wrong he is

@@ritadeniston8986 is he wrong about everything or is it just the fact about prone position??

@@hashansenadhipathi6461 He did a great explanation of how the alveoli work, and how secrections inhibit oxygen getting into the blood stream. ARDS is Acute (sudden) Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Any insult to your lungs could cause ARDS, ex. pneumonia (bacteria in the lungs) all the WBC's, bacteria fighting agents all go to the same spot, causing swelling, debris as the bacteria die, mucous trying to keep the lungs moist. A baseball hitting your chest. Etc. You want to maintain all the body systems as normal as possible, based on the pt's height and (normal) body size, You set a Tidal Volume that will adequately ventilate the pt , (getting the O2 in and getting the CO2 out) If a normal TV for a 6 ft 180 lb male is 800, and you have a male 6 ft and 300 lbs he would still require a TV of 800, The lungs are still the same size. If you don't fully inflate the lungs small areas start to close up (atelectasis) which causes areas to be unable to exchange O2 and CO2. You want to use as little of PEEP (Positive End Expiratory Pressure, to keep the smallest airways open, so they don't collapse, too much peep or TV and you can blow a hole in the lung, (pneumothorax)." Do No Harm " Paralysis: You want the patient to be as alert as possible while lessening any pain they may be having, If they can't move, pressure sores can occur. they can't cough to clear their airway, It can cause confusion which causes stress for everyone, stress causes increased BP, Heart rate, etc. Again, try to maintain as normal as you can. Prone position: The patients just could not tolerate it. Imagine being suspended in mid air with a strap on your forehead, upper chest, hips, thighs and ankles, gravity is pulling you down, You have a tube in your throat, breathing for you. (gravity trying to pull it out) IV's , Blood pressure cuffs all pulling down on you. The nursing staff can't see if an IV or your endotracheal tube have become misplaced. if they don't have a clear picture of you, how can they correct a problem before it is too late. imagine you are upside down and in trouble your Blood Pressure is dropping rapidly, you are bleeding internally, they have to flip the bed over, which could take some precious time. If you had been upright, you could have been attended to sooner. I hope you find this helpful, I know I can go into great detail. Sincerely Rita

@@ritadeniston8986 Thanks a lot. That was a very good explanation.

@@ritadeniston8986 - I think you should make videos on this, you're very good in details, probably many would like to see it, including me; and it seems you have a lot of knowledge! What is your profession, if you don't mind; I saw you share a lot of videos about art?

@@markdutchinc3887 look up the song by Dr.Creep called " Pandemic" it was released in 2013 and at the 1 minute mark he says, "corona virus 2020 bodies, be stackin" why would he say that 7 years ago?

My response exactly. On such short notice, little can be done to get more ventilators, particularly if global demand skyrockets. But hospitals could train additional physicians and nurses to handle the specific care for ARDS. That could be done in a few hours.

Mary Fertig, just remember that prone positioning will work only as long as the anterior alveoli are and remain in healthier condition. Usually they eventually become inflamed too and then it does nothing more for ventilation.The reasoning behind ventilating in prone position works at all is because ventilation is gravity dependent, but then so is the pooling of secretions (like the infected mucus). So don't rush to start using prone positioning just because you heard something or read something, but also don't wait until it is a last resort before death. By holding off a little while you're saving the healthier alveoli as an ace up your sleeve for a good boost of effective ventilation when the patient needs it most. When you place the patient into the prone position the infected secretions are now pooling in the healthiest part of the lungs casing them to become inflamed. Using an inline MDI - bronchodilator to "puff" them up is a great way to gain lung recruitment. Always space a few minutes between puffs and auscultate frequently to listen for maximum efficacy of the drug as it is being administered. It's always best to keep up any lung recruitment gained by making sure bronchodilators and steroids don't get overly delayed or even missed! Use the steroids after the bronchodilator is at it's peak. There is a whole rationale for doing it this way. When you breathe a bronchodilator into a tight lung it only goes so far and that's it. If you wait until the medication begins to work the next delivered dose goes deeper into the lung tissue, and each successive puff also goes deeper than the previous one as long as there is time for the previous puff to work. Steroids given last after the last of the bronchodilator increases it's effectiveness too. Inline nebulizer treatments also deliver the medication over time and that can increase efficacy of the drugs. Steroids and bronchodilators can be mixed together for an inline nebulizer treatment because of the time involved in delivery and the drugs do not interact with one another. Most therapists want to use MDIs because they think it is quicker, and it can be if you dump every puff in at the same time, it's just not the most effective use of the medication. Avoiding delayed meds can be extremely hard to do when staff are overwhelmed with the excessive numbers of patients and with staff also getting sick too. Therapists not only have a full patient load they also must attend every code and do blood gases and run equipment as well. They can get overwhelmed with just influenza and RSV season. So what is it going to be like for all healthcare workers? It's important to not over do the PEEP setting (overly distends alveoli and injures them) or under do it either (increases atelectasis). Peep is essential to lung recruitment too. While this doctor is saying prone positioning is something relatively new and fabulous, it really isn't all that new because we were doing it for our ARDS patients way back before I retired and I think that was in 2002 or 2003. Always keep moving your patients around for best SaO2 readings. Sometimes that may mean pillow support a little on one side or the other to make the healthier portion of the lungs placed in the gravity dependent area for increased ventilation... and the healthiest portion isn't always necessarily always the prone position, even though it most often is. You'll know by the patients SaO2's; and chest Xrays can also lead you to knowing which lung or lobe is the healthiest. Oh BTW we found it was almost easier , especially with obese patients to disconnect them from the vent and have the therapist use the ambu bag to breathe for them as they were placed in prone position because they can stabilize the endotracheal tube as they are moved...but when lung recruitment is most important disconnecting them for even a short few seconds loses the effects of the PEEP, and it takes a long time to gain it back. But sometimes there is no other safe way about it because extubating the patient from inadvertently yanking on their tubes, will wind up doing the same thing only their airway also become traumatized (and most likely swollen from that awful experience). It's best to use good judgement, what is safest and works for the best patient outcome.

@@jeannes4153 Thank you so much for this information. The general presentation was excellent but I was curious as to the physiological reasons that the prone position was beneficial.

It's common in curriculum for nurses and doctors. The problem comes in actual care for a patient who is face down with many lines and drains going into them. It complicates every task except maybe wiping there butt...

It is a well-known and practiced treatment strategy. The problem is that it takes a bunch of people to prone a patient and ICUs were already short-staffed prior to covid-19.

In Europe and China, the news was reporting on prone positioning to treat COVID-19 as if it were a novel approach.

Prone position is a CROCK, what are you going to do? Crawl on the floor under the pt to check an IV, or endotracheal tube, GRAVITY, not good

THEY WONT.

What this video explains is Respiratory Failure type 1, But what you had was probably Respiratory Failure type 2, in type 1 failure the alveoli are filled with fluid thus preventing gaseous exchange while in your case the airways were closed shut due to spasm of smooth muscles in your airways, thus your body was unable to get in fresh oxygen rich air or get rid of Carbon Dioxide rich air. What you probably had is called status asthmaticus
