RT here from LA, CA! Thank you so much for all your videos. I've watched them all while in school and still watching them now with a license! There is always questions to ask! haha
Would love to see some examples of tricky patients, and how to troubleshoot what's going on by looking at an alarming vent. Excellent videos and explanations! Keep 'em coming!
Excellent presentation. Really enjoy the content and how you put concepts into a readily understandable format. I will indeed watch more of these presentations. Quite possibly the best I've come across. Working as a flight nurse, we utilize ventilators very frequently and as nurses we do not have the background of the RT. But your videos really bring things into very clear light indeed. Thanks again.
Awesome, thank you! I appreciate all feedback, but especially RN feedback. Glad to know that the videos aid other disciplines beyond RT. Thanks for watching!!!
Wow your videos are super insightful and easy to follow !!! Question with COPD patients, you mentioned they do not have pressure problems or oxygenation problems. Aren't COPD patients have high PIPs due to obstruction (increased Raw).Also they are hypoxemic due to alveolar and capillary destruction?
Hmm the only part I can't see is why the I time would increase when you switch from VC to PC. Side note: I'm an RN in ICU and every time I train nurses new to the unit (new to vents) I send them a link to your videos! Thank you for all your help!
great explanation sir , thank you for the lecture sir , sir does mean airway pressure mean surface area of pressure wave form,sir is that the way to calculate it , sir whats the definition of mean air way pressure .sir how do we set the mean air way pressure parameter, sir what are the general values of mean air way pressure ,
I am a therapist in a sub acute facility in California I have a patient right now whose PIPs are in the 40s to 50s. I know I should switch her to pressure control but I cannot get a good title volume what kind of settings should I set to achieve adequate tidal volume
Silly question here. When you have someone on PC and you check a plat pressure, you realize that the plat pressure is higher than your set inspiratory pressure, how accurate is the plat pressure? Thank You.
Hi. I need more data. Typically an insp pressure is set on top of peep, this means whatever the Insp pressure is set to, the vent will increase pressure to this level for the set I time. If we're talking NIV, then we're talking more about ipap and epap. What are those settings? You provided me with a RR and Peep.
