These videos make understanding IPPB so much easier. I always struggles with IPPB. Maybe because it is not used as much anymore so we loose practice. Thanks for the clear instructions.
Thank you very much, very kind words. If you have any requests for topics, please let me know. This started to help my students and is now helping many others.
@@resptherapyedresources1997 Certainly shall let you know.....I might be having a list of things. An excellent teacher can certainly make good students.....am eagerly looking forward!!! Tc sir
I remember the old spirometry..it was a galvanized looking can with water and then there was another barrel,with graph paper and a needle,to measure air rates
basic but acceptable, your correct about he Mrk 8 but failed to explain the "why" for the "negative pressure control" thats why the pressure manometer had a -40 ! Only the Mrk 8.
I have 2. Found on ebay, sold for parts, unwanted and unloved. Mine are Mark 14s, they are very interesting machines. Why is it called a respirator? What is the difference between respirators and ventilators?
Katy Brennan. Technically speaking respiration is the transfer of gases across a membrane, such as external respiration (in the lungs) and internal respiration (at the cellular level). Ventilation is the act of moving gases in and out of something, like the lungs. The closest thing we have to respiration or a respirator is extra corpuscular membrane oxygenation (ECMO). So what we have are ventilators, such at the Mark 8 which is in the video. People call them respirators due to a historical misnaming of the device.
Thanks for answering my question. I love these little green ventilators, you can see how the machine works and they are pretty in the sun. They do make nice pets, no litter box to clean, lol!
