Life-Threatening Asthma 

This post has perfect timing because I’m doing a paper on life-threatening asthma right now! Thank you!

Great lecture. A classic

Sick asthma/copd patients are scary. Great video

Great talk. Good point on the epi drip. Other key points - I have used theophylline drip as an intervention to avoid intubation. I also like to get baseline lung sliding after X-ray so I know right away if patient goes south if there is a pneumo And yes the most impt settings on limit of pressure alarm and resp rate. I set my alarm limit to 70 or 80 put the rate to 10 and then get plateau. If plateau is good I go up on the rate in increments of 2. So i am titrating ventilation to lung compliance. All of this is on the first 5 minutes of intubation. Patient is still paralyzed from the roc rsi I just have them. And yes. When I doconnect we disconnect for 6-7 seconds with like 2 people pressing on the chest

Just had to place 2 patients with asthma on ECMO over the past week! Super scary indeed!

Thanks bro. Great great talk.

Great talk. Lots of useful tips!

Very useful talk. thank you. The Epi dose here, is it the same we use during a code ?

Giving peep counters beathing out? Isn't that the biggest paradox of the century? I've been always taught to peep to cancel out autopeep

Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏Grace and peace be upon and unto you and to this place. God bless you. 🤍Thank you. Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 😊

Sir, How long can we allow peak airway pressure of near 60 ? Or decrease the limit as early as possible?

I did not understand the first part of the code -> disconnect. Can you explain?
