You explained to me in a few minutes what my professors couldn't do in 2 weeks .. they somehow just expected to understand all of this w/o teaching it to us. Thank you! Liked and subscribed!!
I don't know if you are still keeping up with these videos but you are doing wonders for students in the RT world, keep the good work up you are making us smarter.
A fantastic explanation!! Love the Mech Vent series. Have not watched the others yet but surely will. Just preparing for my first on-call and this explains stuff so clearly. Thank you so much.
Michelle: In pressure control you don't have the option of increasing/decreasing the flow, like you do in volume control. It is not a variable we decide on in pressure control, the flow rate will be the result of the pressures we set, and the patients lung mechanics etc.
I hope these vents when backstopping at say 14 breaths a minute stop that automatic cycle if the patient breathes on their own, rather than superimposing assisted breaths with the backstop breaths.
I don't know whether you're still active on the channel but I wanted to ask if the last graph can be a case of inspiratory pause, and how can this help the patient.
Thank you for this video. Instead of increasing the (i time), can we increase the inspiratory rise? If not, what’s the relation between inspiratory rise and the amount of volume?
I'm still a student so I may not be accurate but I'm fairly certain that increasing inspiratory rise would be the same as increasing the flow. Instead of a smaller, more gradual rise, the flow would come faster. That faster speed would equal increased oxygenation because it would be in the alveoli longer, which means for a greater period of diffusion.
Hi, do you mind telling us what kind of equipment and app did you use for making the video? I would like to do similar thing but in my own language. thx u
8:57 I disagree that this was potentially lost lung volume. Flow is already minimal by this time, so it's more like you're wasting time, not air, if you waited until lungs were at capacity. If you want to get a proper answer you need to formulate this as a gas flow maximization problem and mathematically optimize it. Though the optimal solution probably won't make a big difference.
hi there does Ti means we got to hold that 20mmhg for 1sec? or does it mean at the end of Ti we have a pressure of 20mmhg? + i do not understand how there can be added extra volume to the lung (left waveform) without raising the pressure? more volume= more pressure right?
You’ll find all the mechanical ventilation videos in the playlist called “Principles of Mechanical Ventilation”. You can copy links to the whole playlist or individual videos there. Thanks
