Diagnosis and Management of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

[@rollinjohnson2234]

So my 24 year old son currently is in the icu with ards.This is so hard because he is still young and has his whole life ahead of him.i pray he can hopefully get better.

[@9651366]

Hi there I hope things improved; how is your son?

[@tubesrn]

How is your son now..I hope he has been discharged and in good health

[@amandalynn8157]

So far I've only watched your ARDS videos, but they are EXTREMELY helpful in understanding the pathophys and why we're doing what we're doing to help our patients. Your explanations are simple and to the point. Thank you!! I've shared with my entire nursing class.

It's almost like you have a copy of my critical care nursing syllabus - you put out these videos just when i need them, thank you!!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Haha awesome. Don't tell your professor... lol I kid. I love when the timing works out like this!

[@jeannemori1320]

Breaking down simply and diagrams help so much, thank you

[@ICUAdvantage]

Glad it helped!

[@cameliaa8069]

Perfect, as always! Thank you so much! I wrote 4 pages out of this video, it is a very good conclusion after many books read I think.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Appreciate that Camelia! And wow thats a lot of notes lol. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@RileyAicher1]

I recently began working in the ICU and these videos are so great for explaining the concepts. Really love the vids!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Awesome. Congrats on the new ICU gig and glad you enjoyed the video.

[@paigeaspinwall5835]

ICU Advantage is a great source for info! I love it!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Woohoo!! Really happy to hear this Paige! Thank you so much!

[@marlenechicoine4005]

I've had 2 respiratory distress events, the most recent with covid and ventilation. I look for videos that are for patients rather than for medical persons. I haven't found any! I'm a 62 yr old woman with stage 4 COPD, although barely beyond stage 3. Thank you. I find copd videos but nothing on ARDS or respiratory failure. The last event, my O2 was around 40%.

[@doesitreallymatter8010]

What was ur treatment?? Mom in icu now with admission o2 @ 70%

[@marlenechicoine4005]

I was unconscious when brought to ICU. I was intu 0:05 bated for about 24 hrs. unconscious. Then, the tube was removed when I could breathe on my own. I stayed in the hospital general for another two weeks. I was released with instructions raising the numbers on the supplemental oxygen that I use at home. I'm a shut-in, basically, so only go out to medical appointments, as I live alone. Best wishes to you and your Mom! ❤

[@touseefbeig915]

Best video on ARDS

[@abigaildelfierro1622]

So helpful to watch your videos as a new ICU RN! Thank you for your great content. ICU is a lot but you manage to teach it in an "easily digestible" way.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Thank you so much Abigail! Really appreciate hear that. It IS a lot at first, but it all comes with time. Happy to be of help in some way.

[@jordane2036]

Your videos are SO helpful. Thank you so much!

[@ICUAdvantage]

So great to hear this Jordan! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@amaracharya3628]

Wow super insightful and easy to understand ❤

[@ICUAdvantage]

Glad you think so!

[@SeishiroSakura]

These videos are very much appreciated sir. Thank you for the work you put in them. Do you have a plan on making similar videos concerning Ventilation strategies (maybe some sort of case report/quiz format) where you'd go in depth in the escalation options (primarily interested in the ventilation aspect)?

[@drnezarrefaat6898]

Perfect and more than excellent. Thank y veryyyy much

[@azlxx9868]

Great explanation Thank you

[@Dreamsofahomesickalien]

Going into my preceptorship in the ICU and love these videos! ! Any tips on what to study prior to critical care? Do you have a bundle to purchase of study materials, or have any suggestions? Thank you for all you do; you rock!

[@ICUAdvantage]

How exciting Savannah! Wishing you the best in your preceptorship. As for studying, I usually just suggest people look up and learn about things after they encounter them. Especially once you get hired, there is a lengthy process to get you oriented. As you are exposed to stuff, afterwords take the time to look it up and learn more about it. You can certainly overwhelm yourself so I don't really suggest just blanket studying, unless theres a particular area you are having difficulty with.

[@jackiep8792]

Thank you for a wealth of information on ARDS. I had a question about the hemoglobin is that a normal route that physicians take to keep a lower hemoglobin I’m a respiratory therapist and I have never heard of that.

[@MigraineScienceCT]

Another excellent video!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Thank you. Glad you liked it.

[@drriteshsharma6448]

You are the encyclopedia of ICU management...

[@ICUAdvantage]

Haha thank you! Definitely trying to eventually have a very extensive collection for critical care

[@sassy77823]

Loved the video.

[@F9oo9h]

That's amazing. Thanks a lot .. I have one question only regarding driving pressure .. What are your thoughts about it.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Appreciate that. Glad you liked it. As for driving pressure, I think theres more needed in the area, specifically when it comes to ARDS. There aren't any good trials using it for management and even the application clinically at the bedside is at best a guessing game. Current recommendations just focus on plateau pressure, but perhaps in the future more guidance may come about. It is correlated with mortality, but again, targeting driving pressure goals is difficult at best.

[@davematics5292]

using exh TV / C Stat will give you a good reference. Mortality is proportional to calcs >20

[@jrz2flgrl169]

Love this!

Glad to hear this! ty!

[@williamdituri6899]

Those who worked in the ICU during COVID be getting flashbacks to the trenches

[@tomsjose4u]

Great content 👍. Does high CO2 cause vasoconstriction or is it vice versa? ie a high CO2 causing vasodilation and thus increase cerebral blood flow and ICP

[@dr.atuchukwubensonazubuike9109]

CO2 CAUSES VASOCONSCRPTION IN THE PULMONARY ARTERIES LEADING TO GREATER PRESSURE ON THE RV. CEREBRAL VASODILATION CAN BE CAUSED BY CO2.

[@thepalettewhispererasmr1227]

Note: he just told ICU nurses to listen to what RT has to say...which I didnt think ICU nurses could take advice from anybody 😂😂

[@ICUAdvantage]

The good ones definately can!

[@kahloodsyeda7534]

THANK YOU

[@ICUAdvantage]

You're welcome!

[@allahhuakbar7362]

Great

[@ICUAdvantage]

Thank you!

[@doesitreallymatter8010]

Prognosis???

[@MsSamyam]

@15:04 I thought it was vasodilation of Vessels with excess CO2. pls correct me if I'm wrong.

[@ICUAdvantage]

True, except in pulmonary vessels, in which CO2 typically causes vasoconstriction. (It does get a bit more complicated, but as a general rule, think pulmonary vessels = vasoconstriction). But systemically, we see vasodilation, which is why for elevated ICPs one potential treatment is to increase minute ventilation to blow off CO2 to prevent vasodilation of cerebral arteries to try and reduce ICP.

[@MsSamyam]

@@ICUAdvantage Sweet! thank you for the response! Yeah I think I was thinking of ICP when I wrote the comment. Makes sense that CO2 causes vasoconstriction in pulmonary vessels - this is how COPD patients can develop pulmonary HTN.

[@mastawet3499]

Dr I am so happy please Dr don't do fast and and also your writing no visbl please thank you so much

[@ICUAdvantage]

Thanks for the feedback. You can also slow the playback down and/or pause it if needed. As for the writing, its always a battle I fight to have it the right size to get a bunch of info on screen without too small. I'll continue to work on it.

[@lobarita]

hello sir i thought co2 was a vasodilator but at 1449 you mention that is has vasoconstriction properties can ou elaborate please

[@ICUAdvantage]

Good catch. I messed that up somewhat. In the pulmonary vasculature, CO2 along with hypoxia causes pulmonary vasoconstriction, while outside the pulmonary system it causes vasodilation. The pulmonary vasoconstriction increases PVR and thus is detrimental to RV failure, while the vasodilation increases cerebral blood flow, which is increases ICP and thus is detrimental there as well. Ultimately, we want low CO2 levels but for different reasons, which I def did not explain well there.

[@lobarita]

@@ICUAdvantage Thank you much for the answer and video, very useful!!!!! fav videos on youtube.
