Christ, as a rural FM resident who frequently just has to figure shit out on the fly, this content is amazing. I tried to get an RT at our rural hospital to explain vent settings once, and their reply about how to avoid barotrauma was essentially "oh we havent been worrying about that since the 90s". Like, thanks, I know you KNOW how to do it, but when its 3am and you arent here but I am, I sure would like to know.

[@Hanoud1997]

you always have a keen sense of what residents/interns/medical students need to know! better than online med ed and boards and beyond bar none!!

[@ConanLiuMD]

Thank you so much!! Really appreciate it 😄

[@Dr.hepsen_M.D.]

Conan, we are really appreciated for your amazing videos, please keep on that,cuz all residents have been watching you in our program

[@ConanLiuMD]

Thank you!!! Really appreciate it :D

[@ashleighnichole8197]

As a respiratory therapist it's always interesting listening to other medical professionals talk about vents. I wish more/all docs knew and understood at least the basics of ventilator mechanics. So thanks 💜💜 Except, nursing drawing ABGs? 😞

[@RocioSanchez-sc4kt]

wow thank you so much! trying to pass my CCRN and this was way more helpful than anything else ive read or saw. TO THE POINT LOVE IT

[@Kristen_Roar7]

As an upcoming RT grad May 24; I'm thankful for this short but sweet informative video.

[@traceybrascom6598]

As an intern who just started my ICU rotation, I want to say thank you for helping me to understand ventilator settings, goals, and indications. I'm so happy I found this video.

[@SurajGosai-e4u]

likewise. immensely useful.

[@hengyi]

super helpful explanations conan, thx! i especially liked how you included the ARDS Net, PROSEVA, and ACURASYS trials!

[@ConanLiuMD]

Thanks Heng-Yi!!! Where are you at these days by the way?? :)

[@hengyi]

@@ConanLiuMD UCLA! about to start MS4!

[@ConanLiuMD]

@@hengyi Woot!!! Do you know what specialty you're thinking yet? We have a lot of people come here from UCLA haha

[@ConanLiuMD]

Forgot if I asked you in the past already! :p

[@yasmanygarcia8257]

As a future RT I appreciate this video

[@rollievancleave7753]

Would’ve been nice if he even mentioned us RT’s (like he did nurses). The disrespect is common.

[@SurajGosai-e4u]

I am starting my ICU rotations in a couple of weeks and I feel this is gonna be very useful. Thank you so much.

[@josephkimanthi2273]

P:F ratio also called carico index.

[@scottphillips7355]

Great video. This is everything I teach about ventilators and done really well. I will add this as an adjunct video to class.

[@leeoyugi4934]

Thank you for this great run-down. This helps a lot.

[@bberrybboom6597]

you explain everything so well! happy to find your channel!

[@ConanLiuMD]

Thank you!

[@Kim-ou7lc]

Wow, detailed, simple, right amount of information, organized. THANK YOU!

Super helpful! Can we have one video on ECMO too :P?

[@dipp8124]

Love your videos! Could you make a video about how to present an ICU patient as an intern? Thank you!

[@seyeonkim5003]

Thanks alot 🌸 ,plz make make video about Bilevel mode ,and weaning in general

[@philominajonathan349]

Thank u so much for these content

[@cmq474]

I’m a first semester RT student. Thanks I enjoyed listening to this. I’m starting to learn about the lack of respect RT’s get at some locations. What’s your opinion on this?

[@ConanLiuMD]

Not sure why people wouldn't respect RTs. As a doctor I rely on them very heavily as they know way more about respiratory mechanics than I do especially in ventilated patients. In my experience even all the ICU docs I've worked with value and respect RTs a lot!

[@MambaCool20]

Thank you Sir

[@yadiali4572]

Thank You so much ❤god bless you

[@belindap1206]

Can you make a video going through the basic physical exam to do some everything patient . And ROS that should be asked lot the time

[@lyndenise6286]

I just started the ICU and I needed this. Great lecture, Thank you

[@DrSonus]

Lovely, sir, thank you 🫡

[@SwanCityWellness]

Do you offer notes on your videos for purchase? Thanks!

[@bluewker]

What does high yield mean in this context? A dense guide? Is this commonly used medical student terminology?

[@daniamorhij9268]

Do you give out your written explanation as like a pdf ?

[@GMDMD]

I've never remembered the difference between hypoxia and hypoxemia and Ive decided I never will.

[@ConanLiuMD]

😂 yeah I’m not sure how important it is but pulm crit attendings love to harp on it so much haha

[@areufkingkiddingme]

-oxemia.. in the blood.. -Oxia everywhere else I.e. tissues

[@belindap1206]

So physical exam teaching video

[@anthonyp6301]

Don't agree with the need for daily chest rays.

[@ConanLiuMD]

Agreed - it was kind of what was just done at our institution, but after I posted a text version of this guide several people also pointed this out as being unnecessary!

[@rollievancleave7753]

As a retired Respiratory Therapist, would’ve been nice if you mentioned us (like you did nurses). We’re used to being ignored/disrespected.

[@peterkesling6547]

lol get some thick skin 😂

[@fahadbutt1104]

RT are critical -ED resident

[@Hanoud1997]

oh btw, i just looked it up and RSBI is actually TV/RR.

[@ConanLiuMD]

Can you link that? I’m pretty sure it’s RR/TV!

[@Kristen_Roar7]

@@ConanLiuMD You are correct RSBI = f/Vt or RR/TV
