Wait, you said an example of Partially Compensated and Uncompensated. Is there a Compensated?

[@shelikestuff]

[@janinehowe1846]

As a mature-age nursing student here in Australia, I've found the 'chemistry' quite hard to get a handle on, but this little video has turned the lights on for me! Thank you for explaining this so clearly. I'm going to get the ABG questions RIGHT in the exam for sure! :)

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+Janine Howe Thank you so much for your comment, Janine :) It is so awesome you're from Australia...very neat to see that my video is been viewed all the way over there. I'm so glad I could help you understand this material better. Best wishes in your studies!

[@ceceish8295]

Just so glad I bumped into your page. So easy to understand, I have attempted all 16 questions in the quiz. Very proud of how I now understand the topic based on my scores. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so simply and engagingly x

[@jasminehernandez3817]

[@juztryinnabehonest99]

Why am I watching this?! I’m an Architecture student 😂 but somehow I thoroughly enjoyed it

[@sarahm5701]

ROME: respiratory, opposite metabolic, equal

[@Fuller712]

Awesome video! So much easier than using the R.O.M.E acronym! For the problem at the end...could you tell me what would make it fully compensated instead of partially compensated? This was a huge help! Thanks!

[@Fuller712]

Oh never mind...I see the link to the new video. Thanks again!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Glad you found it lol! I was going to link to it but you beat me to it :)

[@soniacolbert7491]

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Thank you so much for the very kind comment! I'm so happy you liked the video. I wish you the best in your studies!

[@PhelahLJ]

Your videos are very instructive. I was wondering if you have videos on HIV, AIDS... or for that matter anything on infection control. Thank you

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

I do have some videos are infection control...transmission-based precautions and donning/doffing PPE. You can browse the videos here: kzbin.info/aero/PLQrdx7rRsKfWrPT9674hBYYB8APENTJ0o No, currently I don't have any videos on HIV/AIDS but will in the future. Here are all my current lectures: kzbin.info/aero/PLQrdx7rRsKfWwTsEG3KPPQx9rWa8AqMIk I hope that helps :)

[@RJ-cv2uw]

Lol, I'm a 3rd semester nursing student and this is a lot more simple and intuitive than my lectures.

[@ceeceebrownn]

Thank you nurse Sarah.. I made an A on my quiz 😃😁😁

[@mericaann]

to this day this video is saving my life, thank you!

[@cristielyd.2761]

The majority of my classmates have been watching your videos

[@scrubsz]

30 year Respiratory Therapist here. EXCELLENT teaching method. Well done!

[@ManpreetKaur-zy1xi]

GREAT VIDEOOOO! idk if this would help but my lecturers taught us to write the normal values down pH (7.35 - 7.45), HCO3 (22 - 26) but for PCO2 write it as 45 - 35 (rather than 35 - 45), that way everything towards the left would be acidotic and anything towards the right would be alkalotic :D

[@taragriffith3606]

that's wonderfully helpful

[@danas3148]

Thank you dear so much. I do not have this down completely yet but i already feel much better after watching this video. I appreciate this so much and will watch all your other vids as well. Thank you thank you thank you.😁

[@shen7438]

When the professor explained ABG to the class I was so confused. After watching this video and applying the method, I finally got it!! Thank you. I took the quiz and I got 100!

[@cherryblossom2776]

You’re such a good teacher. Youexplain it plain and simple. Thanks for sharing your knowledge , I’ve been a nurse for 20+ years and this is like a refresher course for me😅

[@blakewebb4142]

You are the star of our nursing class! You’re amazing at explaining things in a way that just makes so much sense!

[@claudiabizzaro5467]

You are literally a lifesaver. I can't believe how easy you made this for me to understand. THANK YOU!!!

[@nessem915]

OMG I want to cry at how easy it is. Im taking my nclex soon but i wish I found you during nursing school! Thank you!

[@RNdavey]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! YOURE ARE THE REASON I PASSED MY ABG/ELECTROLYTE EXAM TODAY! Even when I didn’t get it when my instructor showed us I understood it so well with your videos!!! Once again Ty! I was so worried about this unit!

[@andreabirch6490]

I don't typically leave comments, however this video was SO helpful to me!!! I am currently in school to become a Respiratory Therapist and was a little unclear on this concept earlier in the week. My friend recommended your video to me!!! I'm now subscribed haha thank you! Andrea

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Thank you so much for the awesome comment, Andrea! I appreciate it! I'm very happy I could help you understand ABGs. The tic tac toe method saved me a lot during exams lol! I wish you the best in the RT program :) Again, thank you for watching the video and for the comment!

[@ranafadul3888]

you are absolutely my hero.. i regret all the hours i spend to memorize this ,, you just make everything simpler and more fun ,, thank you..

[@danajulick9687]

LOVE THIS VIDEO THANK YOU!! Sent it out to a huge group of my med surg classmates!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Wow, thank you so much, Dana! You rock! I'm glad the video can help you all! Best wishes in your studies!

[@dosa]

Sarah thank you SO much for all of your videos. I've recently graduated nursing school in December, 2019. You were a lifesaver throughout my entire nursing program! You made everything make sense! This has been one of my weaknesses, being able to determine if the ABG values were uncompensated, compensated or partially compensated. You just made it so easy for me to remember using this tic tac toe method. Thank you so much!!

[@wayneethier4472]

Thank you so much Sarah! I never learned this in my LPN, now that I'm in school for RN I was really frustrated about ABGs. I was able to learn it well after your video and even showed it to some classmates. Thank you SO much!!!!!!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+Wayne Ethier Awesome! Yes, ABGs drove me crazy at first in nursing school, but after I learned the TIC TAC TOE method it became very easy! I'm so happy I could help you understand it better. Thanks for sharing the video with your classmates :) I wish the best for you in nursing school and hope my channel/website can continue to help you are your journey of becoming a RN.

[@-dt8fx]

It's really very helpful to us..... Thanks a lot....❤❤

[@sartajb8692]

Unit 3 Clinical quiz preparation brought me here

[@peterjohnlukedeita5942]

I forgot to thank you, your videos helped me pass my DHA exam, and now i'm a registered nurse in Dubai. 😊Thankyou.. God bless..

[@inuchick93]

I'm in med school and this was SO HELPFUL! Thank you!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+Victoria Beata Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and let me know how you liked the video. I appreciate it so much! I wish you the best in med school :) -Sarah

[@DrBr0b0tnik]

Great explanation. I'm in RRT school, and this is probably the simplest explanation I've seen for ABG interpretation.

[@matthewchristiani99]

I just had my nursing fundamentals final and was drawing tic tac toe boards on the scrap paper for every ABG question. Finding your channel was the turning point of my semester and I have a feeling I will be revisiting it many more times until I submit my last NCLEX question. Thank you for making a difference !

[@momishan3690]

Oh my goodness, you've done it again! Trying to wrap my head around ABG analysis-- before this video--had me questioning my choice of completing a nursing program (as a nontraditional student). I humbly thank you. You're the GREATEST!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+Mo Mishan Wow! Thank you so much for this awesome comment...you're the greatest :) Glad I could help you under ABGs....the tic tac toe method definitely makes it easier. Hang in there...you will be happy you stayed with it!

[@lindakarau5707]

I'm a Lab Rat oldie, and just whizzed by your vlog! Very cool and I got it right away, by the Way! Nice to see my brain isn't totally dead Yet! I have Macular Degeneration both types in my eyes, and can't work anymore. I miss the medical field greatly and enjoyed your tic-tac-toe toe method!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Thank you so much for the very kind comment, Linda :) I really appreciated it! I'm glad you liked the video and the tic-tac-toe method in solving ABGs. I know this method saved me a lot during school lol. Again, thank you for taking the time to leave this comment!

[@toniroseregalado6185]

hi just a question. just in case they give you an abg result that is fully compensated meaning ph is normal.. pco2 is acidic and hco3 is basic.. how will i know if its metabolic or respi..or is that even possible..or they will need to give me a condition or disease so i can decide if its metabolic or respi..

[@josalynnsmom]

Thank you so much for this! I really struggled with this in nursing school. Once I found your video, ABGs were a snap! Blessings to you and your great teaching. I have now graduated, but wanted to come back and thank you!

[@cbraunger6360]

Thank you for so many of your videos that have helped me through Paramedic. You have a knack for bringing complex topics into common language. I'm a firefighter and Paramedic has been kicking my butt. Just a whole different realm of thinking. Thank you for your time/efforts. Two thumbs waaay up!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Thank you very much for taking the time to watch the video and for leaving this kind comment. I'm so glad you liked the video. I wish you the best with Paramedic School!

[@calebcheson9889]

This is awesome. i cant believe I'm handling ABGs with such ease after watching this channel. Quite encouraging. Great work indeed!

[@jasnahusejnovic8344]

I’m not in nursing school but that made sense, how soon do you learn this in nursing school?

[@kamaljeetbadesha1472]

you are great and very proffessional

[@clemenceaualexis2285]

It is awesome. How easy she makes it! Some professors make it very difficult. Thank you.

[@raysengineering786]

Amazing stuff... I am a medical student and this was by far one the best ABG videos i have watched. Thansk alot

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Wow, thanks for the awesome comment! I wish you the best in medical school! Thanks for your comment!

[@kandikane1588]

Do you have a video on half life for Tylenol?

[@lindsaymair8403]

this short video helped me understand better than the 3 hour lecture I had on this LOL

[@Tamwatto1]

This is so good! thank you so much you, have helped me a lot x

[@kevonnaburton5212]

I just love how I understand more when I'm finished with your videos. You're heaven sent! Thanks sooo much !

[@hasithaudalagama3837]

5 years in medical school and more than 5 years into my career. Yet this is the best video I found to crack the ABG analysis easily. Thanks a lot.

[@mahendrapippal0562]

Awesome. Love from India

[@ibanezrossana6979]

God bless you hun ... You make it so easy Thank you !!!!!!!

[@cdr408]

1st semester rn student. I got very confused with the PaCO2 @ 1ST. GOT IT NOW. THANK YOU.... AMAZING VIDEO!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Awesome! Glad I could help you understand it! It is tough material to grasp! I wish you the best in RN school.

[@djoycecabalona6168]

I got a 100% (57/57) on my exam today by using this tic tac toe method. You're so awesome! Thank you!!

[@Buteerbly0]

SO impressed how I learned ABDs in less than 10 minutes with you. Thank you so much!!!

[@hildahernandez7130]

What about if it falls into a horizontal line?😅

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

That means you probably have full compensation. Watch this video to understand ABG compensation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmjaoXdvaptjaKM

[@nagasindhukandru3571]

its good but i didnot understand between partially compensated and fully compensated...will u explain it

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Thanks for watching the video! Please check out my videos on acid-base imbalances (metabolic and respiratory acidosis/alkalosis) for a full explanation on compensated and fully compensated. I go into the patho and how it affects the body. It is rather in depth and too much to write here in the comment section. Also, at the end of each video I go over an ABG problem and talk about how to tell if it is partially or fully compensated. Here are the videos (vids 4-7 in the playlist): kzbin.info/aero/PLQrdx7rRsKfWJSZ9pL8L3Q1dzdlxUzeKv

[@malonisantiago3377]

Can anyone help me??? So is it always one or the other always??? It can't be both right

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Yes, it is either one or the other...never both. I hope that helps :) Great question!

[@trinitysmith2226]

This FINALLY makes sense! I've been using the ROME method and it's a headache! This is sooo much easier

[@lakesha3onelove]

Thank you so very much Sarah. I am watching your videos and i am understanding the material my professors are teaching. I am sharing our videos with classmates and they love it to. Do you have any videos on HTN? May god continue you bless. Lakesha

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+Lakesha Harrison Hi Lakesha :) Thank you so much for taking the time to share my video with your classmates and leave me a comment. I'm so happy I could help you understand this material. I don't have any videos on HTN, but would love to make one for you if you could tell me specifically what you would like to learn. Are you wanting an NCLEX focus on HTN, nursing interventions, patho, pharmacology focuses etc? Thanks again for your comment :)

[@lakesha3onelove]

Yes ma'am that would be perfect. Thank you again for all you do. Lakesha

[@beatriceperez8695]

I can stop crying now because I did not get it...Now its easy peasey..thank you for making me understand this particular subject.

[@bella_k5230]

I'm gonna take my NCLEX soon and currently reviewing. This is one of my not-so-favorite topics because I suck at analyzing it. But this woman makes everything easier.

[@asiawerner5353]

I;m a junior in nursing schol and i never understood these questions before but now i do. thank you so much for saving my grade!

[@Roza1386]

Thank you so much! You have no idea the trouble I have had trying to wrap my head around this - lecturers, students everyone has tried and all I have wound up with is a tumble weed and a cricket in my head - you are a life saver!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Yay! I'm so happy I was able to help you learn ABGs. This material can be so confusing, but the Tic Tac Toe method makes it super easy. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. I wish you the absolute best in your studies :)

[@se7en52]

Oh…. so thats how it is. The book made this simple problem very complex. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@kimcaro9892]

Omg! ABG interpretation made easy! I had really hard time understanding it before but now because of the tic tac toe method easy-peasy! Thank you so much! ☺️☺️☺️

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

You're most welcome, Kim! Glad I could help! Thanks for watching the video :)

[@hollyking1063]

I did this 14 years ago for my nursing NCLEX and it helped me then. I am helping nursing students now with their NCLEX and this is helping me help them. Thank you for that. You are doing a great job

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Thank you very much, Holly :) I'm glad I can help! The TIC TAC TOE method saved me during nursing school too. It is very awesome to see a fellow nurse helping others succeed on NCLEX as well. We must help the future nurses because we desperately need them :)

[@EricaAndrea]

wow this made my life so much easier. I could not understand how to analyze these. You're the GOAT

[@chrismack5998]
