Respiratory Therapy - Why Is V/Q Ratio Important? 

Much appreciated...you've been so helpful the past year by making complicated lectures much easier to understand.

Remembering the difference between shunt and deadspace used to drive me crazy!!

Bud, you are an absolute genius! I watched 4 other videos before finding yours, 1 of those videos I watched three time and didn’t get it. Your explanation is superb. Best videos on RU-vid 👌

I just shared this video with two of my favorite critical care RN's (Abbey and Robert). They are studying for the CCRN exam. This information is part of the study material and practice exam. Thanks again, Joe! ❤ your videos.

You make me understand everything so much better especially now through covid .. thanks man you’re making a difference

I haven't even watched this yet and I know it'll be good! You're a gem and deserve way more views. I'm an aspiring CRNA who has always struggled with ventilatory settings and the respiratory system. You have helped me greatly with understanding these concepts! Thank you!

My daily dose of growing! Thankyou Coach 🌻

You are my go-to person for all these confusing topics! My mind is blown away!

I have NEVER understood this concept until now....bless you!!!! :)

Your channel is RESPIRATORY THERAPIST UNIVERSITY. I am watching your videos every single day.

When i am lost in respiratory knowledge i just dive into your channel to get some ventilation Thanks a lot

Where were you when I was a respiratory student? You're amazing!!!!

Thank you for making this and your other videos. I have 25 yrs invested in Nursing. Almost all in the ER, including travel contracts @ Level 1 & 2 trauma centers. I have to be honest , I was always taught "Bag and call RT" & "Let RT handle the vent, you handle the rest". Well that all changed when I took a travel contract in a small town in Northern NY. "What do you mean 'I' have to work the ventilator?" Well the luxury of having RT at my beckon call is over. Having RT in the building overnight it's not a thing here so I'm having to learn after these yrs. This video ROCKS!!!!!! Thanks for putting what I already know into an even better format. I'm definitely going to use your breakdown when I teach new Nurses.

This is so incredibly helpful, thank you!!

Thank YOU so much for this!! This was extremely helpful in understanding this topic. I was able to answer all the questions correctly!

OMG...thank u for simplifying it!!!

Thank you SO much for clearing this up for me!!!!!!!!!!!

He makes every topic so easy

Thanks! Your presentation was amazing and simple. It made sense in an awesomely easy way to understand and remember.

Theeeeee best video out thereeeeee ….. cnt stress enuf .was sitting with ma material for an hr and he explained it soooooooooo beautifully. Thanks tou u for ur time. And effort

This was invaluable! Thank you for simplifying what can appear to be an over complicated topic. 👍🏻

Excellent again coach! Thank you!

Man! You simplified it to the simplest form! No longer a mismatch in my understanding of V/Q mismatch😁. Taken care of. Thank you genius🙏

Explanation was informative but funny at the same time, just the way you explain it. But, I got it now. Thanks! It may just be my sense of humor.

Ur lecture is awesome! Hit the key points and easy to understand! Love them! Thank u very much!

Very simplified and amazing explanation thank you so much for your effort

This was brilliantly explained. Thank you!

I always had problems with these two. Thanks for making it easy.

Excellent presentation! Thank you.

What an excellent way to explain it. Thanks. I'll use this way to explain it to students.

Very very helpful!! Thank you

Crystal clear explanations😊

Thank you so much!!! You literally made my day!

Thank you so much, very helpful.

Wow....you just helped me tremendously!

Thank you so much sir,, learned a lot from Respiratory coach❤

I must be at that point in school when I'm about to be tested on this, so without missing a beat, here I am! I'm totally getting some merch also once I get my tax refund! Thank you again!! -Shay

Thank you so much for the great explanations!

As always you Rock!!!

Thanks a lot ! Awesome explanation as always :)

Please do class on ventilations dyssynchrony....it would be so helpful....

Again, solid video. Makes so much sense from a practical standpoint. Can you make a video about how chest wall compliance/elastance can affect V/Q?

I'm telling everyone in my class to watch your videos!

Thank you so much for all your knowledge and informative info on this channel! Such a tremendous great help! Can you please make a video on aerosols , humidifiers, vibrating mesh, ultrasonic neb, wick, HME. Questions would ask which one to use and it’s a bit confusing. THANKS!

You are literally the only thing getting me through the next 9 days before my exit exam 😅 THANK YOU!

Excellent

thank you u are amazing .

Subscribed!

Thank you

Thank you sir.

Wow super cool bro

Can we calculate V/Q ratio w/o a V/Q scan? For example, using pt's actual ventilator minute ventilation for the "V" and if hooked up to hemodynamics monitoring, using the Qt value for the "Q?"

Two videos I watched said that normal ventilation to perfusion ratio is 0.8 is that incorrect? Very great video by the way!

Hi respiratory coach thanks a lot for this very helpful video I wanted to ask you what happens to co2 in the shunt , do we have hypercapnia along with hypoxemia?

Thanks

Thank you for the videos!

I think in COPD you have decreased V/Q ratio as there is mucus build up inside the alveoli which would hinder adequate ventilation.

Thank uuuuuuuu.... can you explain to me control of ventilation.. I failed that test and I’m prepping for the midterm..I would love to understand so I can study it.. thank u again.

Totally make sense now for me. Will it make a difference if we knew it is shunting or dead space in managing patients particularly ventilated ones❓

Hi I work in ED in Western Australia and have only just found your RU-vid videos.I am obsessed, they are so informative.I am so gonna be an expert or at least have a much better understanding of respiratory therapy. Thank you Joe

Hey coach! Can you PLEASE make a lecture about SWAN GANZ CATHETER and Hemodynamic Monitoring (CVP, PCWP, PAP)? Thanks in advance coach 😊

I'm really not understanding how COPD can be a condition typically characterised by high V/Q ratio. I've looked up sources that seem to label it with decreased V/Q ratios.

A low V/Q will cause low PaO2 and normal PaCO2, what about high V/Q?

What will be V/Q ratio in pneumothorax and pleural effusion

Why we count numbers in 5 what is the logic

Small discrepancy at 17:11.... two is greater than one.... your greater than less than sign is backwards. REGARDLESS I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOU. Do you sell any TMC practice exams? Or should I just venmo you some cash???

Great explanation. I'm so distracted by your mannerisms....Are you under the influence of a drug or alcohol in this video? No judgment. Just curious. Lmao
