@@agneswanjiru2718 thank you for asking about my mom. She sadly passed away on May 3rd, we are heartbroken 💔. I pray your brother will make it through his health battle. I dont know the circumstances as to why your brother was put on the ventilator and everything but if possible he needs to not stay on it for more than a week.. the quicker they get the person off of it, the better the outcome. My mom was on it exactly 15 days... God bless & comfort you, your brother, and family in this time of trail. GOD grant you all the strength and will power to fight through this. May you all, especially your brother, feel the comfort of GOD'S love and peace over you guys. I pray that GOD will supernaturally touch your brother with healing miracles. In JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN 🙏
Unless you don't have Respiratory Therapist in house, why would nursing need to be adjusting the ventilator?? In one hospital I worked at, the patient's nurse decided to make a vent setting change and accidentally put the ventilator in a spontaneous breathing mode similar to CPAP. The patient wasn't breathing on their own, coded and died. There's nothing wrong with nursing being familiar with the ventilator, but it's usually better to have one well trained person such as Respiratory controlling the ventilator.
EXACTLY! I'm a Respiratory Therapist & have seen horrid things because nurses believe they understand the dynamics of the ventilator. It's so much more than just basics.
@@traceygarner7764 Exactly right! Too many hands touching the vent is a bad situation waiting to happen! I won't adjust their IV pump, they should adjust my ventilator!
@@traceygarner7764 I agree!! I am an ICU nurse and I do not touch any settings on the ventilator and certainly do not make adjustments to the ETT. After intubation Xray is done to confirm it's in the right place. Where I work the intensivist will decide if tube needs advancement or pull back some and RTT is the one who touches that tube. Nursing may assist but that's about it. Lol
private duty nurses work with trach and vent patients in the patient's home so therefore they would need to be familiar with the vent and it's settings and be able to adjust it per physician's orders when appropriate
Is it possible for a patient to remain at 99% oxygen level for 3 minutes, even though the tube that connects to the mouth fell off? 🤔 context- dead brain patient that can not breathe on their own, but a external tube came off, this patient kept his oxygen levels at 99% for 3 minutes, what does that mean?
