[@myahhicks1713]

This was super helpful! We see a lot of discrepancies with high SpO2 and low PaO2 in the ICU and many times families will take the high SpO2 as a good thing. This will definitely help me explain it better to patients families! Thank you!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Just break out the DO2 calculation and watch their eyes glaze over 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@brandi66RN]

Don’t you wish all professors were effective educators? A lot of people try to explain, but it is rare to get an exceptional educator.

[@jackiep8792]

Thank you for clarifying that in a simple way. What a wonderful channel.

[@katemiller4303]

Your page is pure gold, man. Thank you.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Thanks so much Kate!

[@lanywynn]

The way you explain makes the process easier to understand. Thank you so much. This has improve the way I now trend my patients and not having to rely so heavily on the RT, especially when they are occupied in other departments.

[@jazzyfizzlefazz]

i was just talking about the PF ratio to my preceptor during my ICU rotation and he was explaining this to me a bit. This helps me understand better for sure and I love that I will now be able to throw around the term oxyhemoglobin curve

[@bayannasseral-harrasi6089]

Thank you, this video is really very helpful. I am a medical student from Sultanate of Oman, currently doing ICU rotation. I am trying to understand ventilation parameters as most of patients in ICU are intubated and ventilated. Your explanation is just super. Can you imagine that our doctor was explaining ventilation for 2hrs! and never mention difference between PaO2, FiO2 & PF ratio!!!!! The worst part, that we were standing for 2hrs and I felt pain in my legs, I recommend all consultant doctors, whenever you explain for student, make sure they are comfortable and let them set, so they can maintain focus. Thank you.

[@doctorsquirl4964]

Im a resident right now and my attending always asks what the PF ratio of our patients are. I got the quick lesson that higher PF ratio is better but didnt understand it until now so thank you

[@rantaz07]

very clear and very professional, which shows how a good doctor and a teacher you are.

[@pjsaysell6149]

You always teach me something new. I work in an Accident & Emergency (ER) department in the UK and it really helps me further my knowledge and work with our critical care nurses. I'd love to see a video on capnography and integrated pulmonary index, if you haven't released one already :)

[@Flippinpinoy09]

Thanks for the videos man! I always cite you and your channel when I’m precepting new grads, new hires, and students.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Thanks so much for that! I really appreciate the help in spreading the word.

[@sinclair657]

Thank you for presenting this topic absolutely clear.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Truly my pleasure!

[@Drzartash]

It's too good. But please make a video for POCUS, AND ultrasound lungs with different signs related to pneumothorax, consolidation, effusion, etc. Thank you

[@cornelbacauanu1544]

Very useful information for everyone dealing with respiratory failure patients.

[@MaximPospelov]

First!!!! Thank you, having my ICU exam tomorrow

[@ICUAdvantage]

Best of luck on your exam!

[@forbeisgunn]

Really informative. Very Clear and concise. Thank you!

[@stethoscopembrn2658]

Thank you so much! This was extremely clear and straight to the point. I am not sure if anyone pointed out that you circled PAo2 of 40 instead of 42. Nevertheless... You should be our trainer at my hospital for the MICU. :)

[@omarnoor767]

You're a living legend, man. ❤️

[@ICUAdvantage]

Haha you are too kind but thank you!

[@tasneemfahoum5931]

straight to the point! thanks! 🙏

[@atahroncaunt9074]

Thanks alot for the digestible explanation of PF ratio calculation. I will refer my training resident to this lecture of yours. I would appreciate it if u include the FiO2 of those on oxygen supplementation via cannula or face mask.

[@agd712]

Loving the recent content from a hopeful future pulm crit doc !

[@AmyAndThePup]

I had someone close to me who died recently of sepsis. ARDS was ... bad. FIO2 was 0.75. My husband had to look at what this meant. I did the math with a theoretical 100 for the PAO2... My God. 27 and something on room air. Hurts my heart to think about. But it puts things into perspective. Feel like I'll never complain about my asthmatic airways again. There was a lot going on, but this was the one number I had. Thank you for explaining...

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

Good explanation 🎯

[@ICUAdvantage]

Thank you!

[@gaunik3838]

ohh great topic, most awaited 🤘🤘🤘

[@MsGabbyxx3]

I loved this video! I was wondering if I could request a topic? Cardiac surgery/post-op essentials type stuff - I work in a CCU and not a CVICU so I don't really have much education on that topic, and think it would be super beneficial to know!

[@jayarajnair7833]

Awesome. You're welcome!

[@abishrestha1095]

There's slight mistake at 5:48, pls review it. when PaO2 = 42% the SpO2 =77.sth, but it's been tallied with PaO2 40%. Thanks

[@zoikonst9728]

amazing video, honestly! thank you

[@ICUAdvantage]

Appreciate that! Thank you.

[@MatejSlipcevic]

cool. thy keep good work

[@АрестАрест-ш8й]

Thank you from Russian doctors!!!

[@talalzero1418]

The room air trick was freaking genius Although I don’t fully see how dangerous it is to leave the patient at romm air for a sec

[@KCLUVLY123]

So when weaning a patient off a ventilator..we should also look at pf ratio along with the ABG?

[@BJ-eh4ol]

Yes, and remember to look at their RSBI score too.

[@jorgewernick9489]

I will show this to our pulmonologist who would rather have a pt on 69% SpO2 with 100% FiO2 on an IMC floor rather than transferring to ICU, despite showing clear distress and altered mental status. Great video!

[@RandomGrump]

How long would someone need to be sitting at a particular FiO2 before we can see it reflected in their blood gases? Minutes?

[@tejaswishashikanth5571]

[@lc6031]

Do you have any long sleeve icu advantage shirts?

[@loayalnasser2472]

Thanks so much but I have a question and I really truly want the answer..I'm in nursing school and can bridge to medical after I graduated from college? Can I bridge to be An Md?

[@michaelmaggipinto3261]

Nurse here, can we earn CE credits through your website? Thank you!

[@anastasial1237]

How do I access notes for these videos?

[@ICUAdvantage]

First off, thank you so much for your support! To find the notes, you have to go to the "Community" tab for the main ICU Advantage KZbin page. Look for the most recent post with the link to the Dropbox and the current password, which changes each month. I have different folders depending on the series, but it'll mention which folder to find them in. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@hammbaby]

awesome

[@ICUAdvantage]

ty!

[@dougf5779]

Are these videos available in audio form like Apple podcasts?

[@ICUAdvantage]

Hey Doug, I have the audio of the lessons as one of the benefits of the Trauma Team level of support on Patreon.

[@lum859]

Hi my question is, same SpO2, what causes some patients have much lower PaO2? Does Ph affect it?

[@doctorsquirl4964]

Yes! Temperature, 2,3-DPG and pH all effect it. Looks up shifts in the oxygen dissociation curve and it will explain it further.

[@atulrai4678]

WHERE TO ACCESS NOTES

[@ICUAdvantage]

If you go to the "Community" tab from the main ICU Advantage KZbin page, just look for the most recent post with a link to the notes and the current password for the month. Let me know if you have any issues finding it and thanks so much for your support!

[@tomriley5790]

I realise that I'm fighting a loosing battle here and there's not much you can do to fight it ....because medics and maths... but it's not a P/F ratio, because it's not a ratio - it has dimensions which is why it needs correcting for units.... ah welll....

[@Glassbones_and_paperskin]

And we don’t start proning people until their PF is

[@ICUAdvantage]

Yeah theres growing evidence that we should look at proning earlier

[@stryderhiryu8]

@@ICUAdvantage earlier.. means.. in which level of PF is that?

[@nurngigi]

Thank you so much
