Respiratory Therapy - Interpreting Waveforms and Loops

[@karkar3208]

A doctor here learning ventilation from an RT and glad to do so cause u r the best

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Hey Doc!! Thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate you!

[@traceylomax2156]

I’m a new RT that learns a lot from the doctors. We are all learning

[@ajcasey2986]

Thanks for loop clarification....great videos. Very informative and well taught.

[@MM-dm5yi]

Same here .. another doctors here

[@noemivelasquez4349]

You’re going to be a good doctor.

[@Satdvr27]

Im a 4th semester respiratory student doing clinicals at local hospitals. I have a very solid understanding of scaler graphics because ive watched your videos and studied this topic extensively. It feels good when the RT's hunt me down and ask questions about loops and waveforms. very rewarding for me. Thank you for what you do, for the Respiratory community. Sometime i feel like i should be sending my tuition money to you, instead of my college. lol

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Absolutely! I can see where that is rewarding as a student being sought out by licensed RTs. Keep up the strong work and leadership!

[@kennygarcia102]

What videos would you recommene watching on his youtube videos before stafting your RT program? What would be the videos you would have watched ahead of time to have had good barrings in beginning of the program? This is a question for the commentor and for the Respiratory coach ! ❤😃

[@xiaowang6408]

I am a newly graduated therapist and I wanted to review the waveforms. Your video is great. Enhance my understanding. Thank you.

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Thank you for watching and commenting! GO BE GREAT!

[@rohipsalm2370]

RT for 25 years. The last 15 years however I haven't done critical care. I am back in it and THANK GOD for your teaching! So appreciated, needed. Truly a Blessing and I will be a better RT because of it. THANK YOU!

Well I attended harward covid ventilation course but your videos cleared many items thanks sir jazakumullahakhair

[@Majboot_Pankh]

I m a medicine resident but it will help more to understand and help our patients. Thank you sir.

[@senseih6136]

I have been a RRT since 1981. I must say, that you are an excellent educator. I have been retired for 4 years now. I am thinking about returning to the field, due to the COVID-19 crisis. And watching the videos Truly help refresh my memory. Thank you for your expertise. Keep on doing what you’re doing.

[@jeangeraldgilles1409]

I have been a therapist for 12 years and I found your video very helpful. God bless you brother. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@ThePsychedelicCinema]

Currently sitting in the CCU while I got some downtime to watch this and holy crap man, once again you’re helping us students out so much. You’ve helped me IMMENSELY throughout my last 2.5 years so thanks so much man.

[@RespiratoryCoach]

You're awesome, Becky!!! Thanks for the support!

[@tonyawindsor8679]

There are soooo many RTs that don't understand this. Im such a freak when it comes to wanting to know everything I can about respiratory therapy. Thank you so much for actually teaching the physiological part of this.

[@RespiratoryCoach]

You are so right, Tonya! Way too many just going through the motions!! Thank you for not being one of them.

[@mohamedmustafa2618]

You are a GREAT teacher and I am very thankful for the interwebs because I was so lost listening to my lame professor who cannot explain anything properly. Thank you, for real

[@RespiratoryCoach]

You're very welcome, Mohamed! I'm glad the video helped bridge the gap between classroom and understanding. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@eduardonava1291]

You made a video back in February of last year very similar to this one called "Scalar graphics breakdown". You didn't have loops in that one but I am glad you brought them up on this lesson. It is extremely beneficial to know that all the loops and scalars paint a picture when added all together. From now on, I will not be seeing the waveforms or loops as individual pieces of information but rather pieces that form a window into the patients respiratory status as a whole. By the way congratulations on the 2000 + followers You are the best in the business!

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Thanks Eduardo. You're exactly right. Terrible title, it's a wonder anyone ever found it. Lol. Back to your point, yes, the individual micros lead to macro. Best wishes my friend! And always thank you for watching and commenting.

Glad to hear that, Mary Kate! Tough times with virtual learning. Come back anytime, and be sure to comment with any questions you may have. Thanks for watching!!!

[@mamabruce06]

coach, your videos helped me so much! i just took (and passed my TMC) and i swear i had 6-8 questions on waveforms/vent graphics and i was able to easily answer those because of this video alone.

[@RespiratoryCoach]

That's awesome! Congratulations, RRT!!! Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate you!

[@Pondeezy]

Amazing explanation! thanks a lot. It is amazing how waveforms and loops could tell you what is going on with the patient.

[@PrinceGupta-zg3sq]

Really appreciable explanation..Pls give us detailed abnormal waveforms over pressure control ventilation..as we r dealing with a patient post covid fibrosis..unable to wean because of double triggering and bronchospasm

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Hello, Prince. I got it on the list, however I probably won't get it out to help with your current patient. I would ask if the patient is volume hungry, which could lead to the double triggering, or breath stacking. Sounds like the bronchospasm is reducing the volume delivered during the pressure controlled breath, leaving the patient desiring more volume so another breath is immediately triggered. I would increase pressure to deliver a slightly higher tidal volume. Most practitioners cringe when I say that, but we have to consider if one slightly larger pressure control breath is less or more harmful than two stacked pressure control breaths, which results in one very large breath. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching and commenting with this scenario!!!
