You're so immensely underrated, Cathy, and I hope you get the subscribers you deserve soon! I've told all my nursing cohort friends how your videos and flashcards have kept me in the top 4 for exam grades halfway through my program. Thank you so much!
Your introductions, make it so easy for someone to understand the topic. The fact that you do not assume that everyone remembers their anatomy and physiology is the reason why I always come to your videos. I like the way the information is presented in a simple and logical way. I do not have to cram anything. Just understand it and I'm good. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for all your work! But I have a small advice. maybe its would be better to use pictures in a video, you talking about chest tube and chambers... and I need to see it right now to fully understand. I need find video with pictures now, because I'm visual learner. Thank you!
I am quite confused with chest tubes and the different functions of the chambers...I have reviewed your lectures many times, and I still get it mixed up. Will you please incorporate a picture of the chest tube and chambers as you describe it...Thank you. I learn so much from your videos, thank you for the great lectures.
Yay!! So happy when the timing works out!! We really are working very hard to get content out to you!! Stay tuned. Good luck on Monday, be sure to let us know how you do! You got this!
Hi! I have a question regarding occlusive dressings (in the case of sucking chest wounds and chest tubes). When should you place a three-sided occlusive dressing over placing a four-sided occlusive dressing?
Hi Ash! Thanks for being a member, and great to have you at the Happy Hour last night! :) Here is a response from Ellis, one of the nursing educators on our team: A three-sided occlusive dressing is used to treat an open sucking chest wound to allow for a one way valve. In this situation, we want air to exit the pleural space but not to get back in when the patient inhales. So if there's an occlusive dressing with a vent, air could flow out. However, if air tries to suck back in, the opening would be sealed by the dressing itself. Generally, this concept is also applied to when a chest tube has been displaced. There was a time (and it may still be being taught in some places) when a four-sided occlusive dressing was applied if the chest tube fell out. There is now concern a fully occlusive dressing would not allow air to exit which increases the risk of a tension pneumothorax. All that being said, in an emergent setting without access to a medical facility, four-sided dressings may be protocol (notably, the military uses this method).
Hi there! Could you be more specific about which deck you're looking at? There is no card 39 or 136 of the respiratory system in our med surg deck, so we want to be sure we're looking in the right place. Thank you!
