Video request to clarify why too much oxygen is dangerous to COPD patients. Please comment and subscribe! Follow me at: IG @ respiratorycoach Twitter @coachrrt Email respiratorycoach@gmail.com
I needed this ! Thank you. I feel like its a constant fight with some coworkers to get them not to blast patients with oxygen. I do not even care to have ppl sating at 100% unless its on their own but not because of high oxygen supplementation.
So well explained!!!! I'm a 2nd year medical student studying for the boards and could not find a concise explanation of this anywhere - thank you so much :)
I have COPD emphysema and this did clearly helped me to understand why one doesn't have more oxygen apply to their oxygen tank at home because it is not necessary and we'll just you explained it perfectly
Second year student nurse here, beginning placement on an Acute Respiratory Medicine ward tomorrow - this has been incredibly helpful and very well explained! Thank you!
I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost my account password. I love any help you can give me
@Genesis Grant I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hi, same with COPD, pulmonary emphysema and pleural fibrosis, daily oxygen, but in Romania you die for days and no one cares, I had gotten sick because I had almost fallen down and no one cares
Due to the low saturation of 91.93, you are always dizzy, have a headache, tight eyes, chest, back, always with blue skin, how is your mother with saturation and what treatment is she taking?
Im just chillin and have a vast curiousity for everything and i had this question. I found your vid and watched it thru. Perfect explination i fully understand it now makes total sence. Just wanted to.say thank you for this..
What about patients who suffer from Asbestosis and pilmonary fibrosis. Is too much oxygen also damaging for their lungs. I remember doctors telling me that less oxygen is sometimes a better choice when you are not under any stress, but if you move or walk you should increase the flow.
Hi , great explanation, I have COPD and emphysema and asthma, I can't have oxygen at home if I have an exasperation I have to go to hospital. Ive been diagnosed 11 years now , I've had pulmonary problems and white masses and punomia and Haemophilus influenza which isnt a flu =HIB for short , and because I have COPD I get HIB back a lot . I did start taking blackseed oil back in 2015 & at the time I had punomia and a shadow on my lung and within 1 month it had cleared up. Blackseed oil can be bought easily now or even just the seeds ( blackheads or onion seeds) their called , 10 of those tiny / small things a day and they really help . Also Cloves 2 a day , this helps clean your body , then u can make Garlic water , 1 clove of garlic crushed for the Alycin, let it sit till cool enough to drink , u could also add honey Turmeric and ginger and a touch black pepper . & lemon . This is known as natures antibiotic and it really does work . Breath Easy.
hi i also have bpd emphysema pulmonary and pleural fibrosis plus ankylosing spondylitis are std 3, 4 i have been taking foster and ventolin treatment since 2020 and i have had no benefit since bad year worse
@@dc.pentrumesteri4893 Hi sorry for taking so long to answer your just appeared now, I'm on forstair and spireva , I was so so ill this past couple of years and since getting haemophilus =HIb, I haven't been the same since ,. I looked into natural cures because of the amount of antibiotics, and learned loads , if u do take the supplements, ie blackseed oil, or just the seeds , what sold me it back in 2015 it actually said, cures all bar death At the time I really thought I was at deaths door . Happy New Year .💐
@@dc.pentrumesteri4893 Yes it is from the same family , my doctors dont tell me much I have to research everything, I had a white mass back in March 2022 it was found , after 2 xray,s and 2ct scans , it wasn't till I had the CT scan with contrast the mass was highlighted.
hi, thanks for the answer, I've had COPD for 3 years, pulmonary emphysema and pleural fibrosis plus ankylosing spondylitis and I can't anymore because of chest pain, ribs and thorax. My lungs are destroyed, I have total

Thankyou so much for your explanations. Although it is very difficult for me to understand medical terms you are using. I would really like to understand what you are talking about because I was diagnosed COPD 2-1/2 years ago with emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis (don't know exact meaning) and I'm on oxygen therapy use of oxygand 24/7 with 3- litres oxygen. Also taking 2 medications for my lung a d I'm 76 years old.
I lost my mam to this last year 57 she had copd and co 2 retainer they had her on the highest of oxygen went into respiratory failure type 2 having seizures then coma ..then her 2 lungs collapsed ....I'm an only child 36 now with my mam .
I am on an oxygen machine for 16 hours a day. I haven't understood your message. I know you have made me understand with your technical terms but I don't have any idea of them. Thanks, anyway, for your warnings. I also do yoga breathing. Hopefully, it is helpful.
Great video. I had someone with COPD who somehow measured 100% saturation without oxygen therapy, and it was affecting her breathing. How would this happen?
How much time does it take for their respiratory drive to decrease? How about if the only option is to give them a 10 minute breathing treatment on oxygen flow meter?
hey, i have a question? what if due to severe lung damage and low oxygen saturation level(like around 70%), the heart is under pressure to pump more and gets damaged as well, do you think in this scenario as well we should limiting the oxygen? thank you for answering in advance
How do they know, then, if they're getting too much oxygen? My husband's got an elevated hemi- diaphragm, and it's made the bottom right lobe not be able to breathe. His C02 levels have come down but is still high.
HELP! my wife is in ICU she has COPD they have her on a over-sized noise canula at 60 liter at 75% when I visited tonight they had her on a face mask at 12 liters at the same time. and when I protest the amount of oxygen there giving her they threaten to kick me out of the hospital.
How long does it usually take for this to happen if they are receiving high o2? What about if the patient is getting a svn treatment through o2, how long would it take to depress their respiratory drive?
Sir. I credit you for helping me get of oxygen post covid. Was on it for 8 months post cov. 2021. You gave knowledge No doctor would. So I tried it. 2 years later. Still here. I do have lung damage. What causes feel like cant inhale good. Like its not going though lungs... Just blowing them up n down. Does scarring fell this way?? Thanks!
Husband has drug induced ILD. He is obese, frustrated and thinking he will always be on O2 now. This video made me feel there is hope for him. Currently at 38 percent lung function. We were able to halt lung inflammation after withdrawal of heart meds and other prescription medications. ARDS 3x left him with some fibrosis, but I dont think it is enough to explain poor O2. Pulmonogist is good, but she does not cover the same information as you. I wish we could see you.
Hi I know this is quite old but hoping I can still get an answer I have severe copd Recently had type 2 respiratory failure with raised co2 levels I had arterial blood test I didn’t have any ventilation or anything like that in fact I was pretty shocked when the hospital gave me a yellow card in case I ever had to call for emergency I had pneumonia which I was being treated with antibiotics and steroids Two days before being discharged from the hospital I cought covid and haven’t been able to breath like I did before going into hospital I got breathless on excursion yes and had to do things slow but now, after a few step I’m really breathless, Iv lost my mobility almost So, I took the advise of the docs and quit smoking after 50 yrs, I’m almost at 7 wks smoke free and went cold Turkey Will my co2 levels change and be normal now I don’t smoke or will they alway be raised because of copd Is there anything more I can do other than quit smoking and doing my breathing exercises I get air hunger very often and find sticking my nose in a mug of steam to try and keep my nose free of being stuffy helps with the inhaling with nose and not mouth I also put warm salt drops u my nose which defines helps my blocked nose
Hello I was hospitalized with hyper a know ,pneumonia and atrial cardiac lipoma I was/am on the acidic side what does this mean also I use ,3.0 of room air when my levels drop to 89/90 then remove it when I reach95/96 is this too much oxygen?
If you over saturate the pt and they go up to like 98% and stop breathing then wouldn’t their spo2 go down and they start breathing again and it’s like up and down?
This is so complicated the explanation makes sense but there's the debate on whether it's this or whether it's the H- effect or the VQ mismatch so in summary it's probably all three things it's not just one answer I really try to get one answer but different sources are saying the same thing that this gentleman is saying in addition to the other 2 theories just know all three and get to know your patient because everyone is different
What if that COPD patient wheezing would albuterol with 8lpm o2 be appropriate if spo2 is 92 already ,what about BIPAP would it be appropriate for chronic copd retainer
Trying to understand, you want chronic retainers to stay mildly hypoxemac to keep breathing and stay alive so that their chemoreceptors tell them to keep breathing. What about the cognitive damage by hi CO2 in the brain in chronic retainers? And what is the use of high flow oxygen in the range of 60-70L/min range?
What about post op pt in recovery? I have a severe copd’r sats at 76% after ETT removed. Placed oxymask at 10. This is a short temporary blast of O2 until recovered, say 2 hrs or so. Is this going to be self defeating? Should we bipap instead?
Ok. So my dad has stage 4 COPD. He retains CO2. He went hospital they said you need to turn his oxygen down to 1-2 liters. He has been at 4 liters for 8 months. He is hallucinating and has been for about 3 months. I have been trying to wean him down. His breathing has been even worse after weaning him down to 3 liters. It’s been 1 month on 3. The hallucinating has gotten so bad.
This is not medical advice specific for your father, or anyone else. You should always seek medical guidance from a licensed physician. When it comes to COPD and oxygen administration. The goal is to provide enough oxygen to maintain an oxygen level at the patient's baseline level of normal (typically around 60 mmHg or 88-92% on a pulse oximeter). The difference between 2, 3, or 4 liters of O2 via nasal cannula are not the detrimental levels of oxygen that this video was referencing. In regards to percentages of oxygen. 2 liters = approx. 28%, 3 liters = approx. 32%, and 4 liters = approx. 36%. Hope this helps to provide a small portion of clarity. Best wishes to you and your Dad.
@@TheJennflip Good Lord I hope not, if so I need to stop moving at all . I stay around 98% @ 21/2 liters. It drops ( plummets really) when I am up and about. So if I’m walking across my house I stay at 80-86 and if I get too low it takes longer to get up and also costs a panic attack .
Co2 increase results in a resp acidosis. increase In bicarb is metabolic alkalosis (kidney)low co2 is resp alkalosis. Low bicarb is metabolic alkalosis.
thankyou - Chronic CO2 retainer, Aim for their baseline = higher than normal PaCO2, mild hypoxia, high Bicarb, pH normal 7.35 - 7.39 If an attempt is made to get normal values The result = O2 toxicity/CO2 narcosis
Hello, I have COPD, pulmonary emphysema and pleural fibrosis, I am from Romania, and the hospitals in Romania are dying at their door and you are not aware of it, and the usual tests for COPD are only done in the hospitals
Only state hospitals do it, and I would like to do an arterial blood gas test, but in private hospitals there is no such thing, the serum bicarbonate that can help because the analysis means that it is low, or mare
I was on "2" - 2 1/2 for 15 years only at night while sleeping - it got to be too much!! I would remove my mask without even knowing it because it was too much. So I'm on "1" now and much better. I can't use the cannula's.
