OMG! WTF!!!You nailed it Doctor John Campbell!! Thank you very much for this thorough very simple, understandable yet very informative explanation!!❤❤❤ Nothing in my nursing class had explained this very simply! Wish I had encountered your RU-vid earlier… My salute and bow down to you! Take care always!!
As a paramedic student in Australia, I greatly appreciate your teaching videos. They are easy to follow, they have the proper depth that I need to know and I am able to visualize everything you teach in my mind and apply it at university. You are a wonderful speaker. Thank-you, again.
Wow Dr Campell. That was the best medical lecture I have witnessed in my life after 6 years of medical studies. Never really grasped the mechanisms of pneumothorax, but I have now. So pedagogically presented. Brilliant. Thank you for your time! Much appreciated
You are truly a great teacher. Thank you sharing this Dr John Campbell! Prior to this, I was struggling with understanding pneumothorax in-depth. Now I am able to visualise what's happening when a mechanism of peumothorax occurs. Thanks from Australia!
I've been dealing with pneumothorax and pleural effusion in vet med for 20 years and knew how to recognize it, it's implications, and how to take care of it, but it still was always a leeeetle bit unclear exactly how it worked in there. This really took the mystery out of it and made it crystal clear. Super helpful for being board certified in emergency nursing 😊
so good. Thank you Dr Campbell. Studying for my ETM so some of this is basics but all of it is better for revision. You're making us all better docs :)
This is the best explanation I have ever seen!!! thanks soooo much Dr. I have not checked yet, but i was wondering if you have videos or if you could please explain ACS. I am having a hard time understanding these concepts. God bless you!
A month and a half ago I accidentally shot myself in the chest. I had pneumothorax and hemothorax shattered my 2nd, 3rd and 4th ribs of course a hole in my lung and a shattered scapula. I question the choice of placement of the chest tube which was the size of a garden hose (not exaggerated). It was placed directly under my left breast. My breast is 3x larger than my other one and is completely excruciating internally. I know there has to be damage to my breast tissue or something. The side in which it was placed(left) close to my arm pit is really swollen and painful. I was told there was fluid buildup in the space that should heal itself. Chest tube was kept in for the 9 days I was in a coma. I do have several large fragments in my left chest that are close to my heart. I was told I had pneumonia in my left lung as well. I was never told what to watch for air the long term effects I will encounter. Your video made everything I went thru so clear. Thank you Dr. God bless. -Christy.
You are Very Lucky to be Alive. They Saved your Life . If I were you , I would go back to the Hospital , and just ask very Nicely to speak to the ER Physician who worked on you . He/she will Explain every scenario they did on you .
@Dustin Willis Yes, Dustin, all I hear from all the specialists is they have never seen anyone survive this specific injury. I think one reason was the fact that I was in my truck actually driving 🚗 when it happened. So I drove to the hospital 🏥 (slumped over the wheel the last 5 minutes) myself, but let dispatch know I was on my way. As far as the chest tube placement.. they had to put it there because not only was my sternum broken with my ribs, but the side under the left arm area of ribs were blown out completely. That's why they had no choice to place it there. 🤷 I wish you could see the x-rays
Thank you thank you thank you!! I've had such a difficult time trying to understand the physiology of inspiration & expiration and you made it understandable. It is so, so very appreciated.
Thanks for this presentation. Very helpful and much better than the whizzy, American videos which move way too fast. There is something way more reassuring about a drawn diagram delivered by a British doctor. All my family will watch this video!
I got a chest contusion, and my body especially on the left side where the injury occured, is filling up with air.do I need to get gas..x or something. Can't even button my 👖 by far. Dr. Said I had a air pocket, but it is spreading
I have watched this video as my husband was injured 2 weeks in a car crash. Our car was struck from behind from a driver going too fast and too close. She has admitted full responsibility but my husband has been in agony with whiplash which has now become worse. We went to the out of hours clinique and the nurse said he may now have a chest injury. He is taking stronger pain killers but they make him depressed. I do hope my husband gets back to normal ( I miss him) but this will take time and to be honest I am starting to worry because the Nurse mentioned a posible chest injury. I hate the woman who crashed into our car...all because she did not concerntrate for a split second. Your video has helped me to understand where things are sittuated in the body.....
Dr. John Campbell Thank you kindly. Hubby went to see the physio yesterday as he is still in pain from time to time she has suggested that he does exercises like running. He is apart of a running club so he is happy about returning bless him. He sleeps right through now too. It has been a very testing time but I do believe we are given these "tests" to make us stronger in life. Wishing you a good productive week. Take care 👍
how can we clearly diffiertiate between pulmonary contusion and haemothrax??? as heamothorax required chest drain and contusion is conservative.plz amswer to facilitate on spot managment of chest truma managment
Thank you for this video, Dr. John. I'm a paramedic student and im currently cramming for my exam tomorrow. This video is a great help. ♥️ thanks again!
If you actually want to get Hired out in the Field , you will have to do a Practical Exam . You will have to physically Them that you can Perform every aspect of any Scenario that can occur . If you are Cramming for an Exam , then you are not ready to be out in the Field yet. I have experienced it all , you Young-ins need to take it seriously and not do last minute studying ….
