Hi coach, after watching countless hours of your awesome videos, I am finally checking in with you as your virtual student. A little bit about me, I am a second year RT student on my second rotation in one of the biggest hospitals in the Los Angeles area. I consider myself to be a dedicated student and feel fortunate enough to have bumped into your videos. Because of that I have been able to be competent in clinic as well as in the classroom. Thank you. I write to you in this particular video because I was just watching it for the first time yesterday morning, right before clinic. For that reason, I wasn't able to fully grasp the theory of the video (usually watch them 3 times before I fully understand). Anyways, I was placed in the ER and was fortunate enough to be part of 5 intubations/transports. A particular case caught my attention for a few reasons. Not disclosing any personal Pt info for obvious reasons but she was a 63 year old F with cancer/PNA and was intubated for severe hypoxia.....Pt was intubated placed on the vent but the doctors where concerned that she was not doing well because of the high peak pressures 36-42, low sats 88-89 at 40% fio2, and dysynchrony with the vent (AC/VC). My RT was asked to do something about it but he maintained his position explaining to them that she was "bucking the vent" because she was waking up and if they wanted her to synchronize with the vent then to increase sedation and so they did. This was in a time frame of 30 min after being ventilated. As soon as he said it raised flags in my head because you always emphasize in having the "vent breathe like the patient and not the other way around"..... I take that to heart. So my light switch came on and I went to see the waveforms (my weakest point) to see if the pt had any abnormalities like the ones mentioned in this video and boom, she did! Unfortunately for me, I could not remember the differences you mentioned but they looked like a variety of all the examples you provided. My question to you, even with all the omitted data, is in that acute situation do we do what was done or B try to fix the breathing with the aid of the waveforms? If you got this far I appreciate it and thank you, God bless.

i am on mechanical ventilator as a C2 incomplete quadriplegia/ for the longest time I was managing on my own with sniffle quick inhale of diaphragm expansion (nearly not moving) and slow down my entire body to just for my respiratory rate to be normal. but now I got on the Vent mouthpiece during the day. I feel like I need it all the time. everytime I am off for a min, I went back on, it's PIF is 120-130...then it would drop down into 80's . I am always air hungry when I am out and about without the vent. But also weirdly things you were talking about for the dyssyncony... I get high respiratory rate in the early morning upon waking up every 4-5 min for like an entire hour... and my watch still showed low SpO2 stats... I was seriously not getting any pressurized air until the alarm sets in. and giving me a bigger breath in...

I have a patient at my sub acute who had an anoxic brain injury and is on the vent. She has multiple grand mal seizures a day if she is not giving her medications right on time. She starts to seize, her flow demand increases and the ventilator starts to block her exhalations. We use a trilogy ventilator where we can only adjust the I time, causing disynchrony if I'm not close by to watch and adjust.

If you have a ventilator that doesn't allow you to directly change the flow, how would you adjust the flow? For example, servo U and I don't have a flow adjust function.
@RespiratoryCoach4 жыл бұрын
Hi, Nigel. Then you have to adjust I time. You have to be able to control either flow or I time. Decreasing I time will increase flow. Likewise, increasing I time will decrease flow. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hi RC, awesome video !! Could flow desynchrony occur on PRVC mode
@RespiratoryCoach4 жыл бұрын
Yes, absolutely! This actually causes a sneaky situation. Your patient is flow hungry, so their diaphragm is dropping faster than the variable flow from the vent. This decreases intrathoracic pressure, which increases compliance and will lead to a larger delivered tidal volume. In PRVC, the vent now makes an adjustment in response to the increased tidal volume (assuming it's greater than the target Vt) and actually decreases insp pressure, which in turns decreases insp flow. Remember the patient is flow hungry, and the vent is now decreasing delivered support and flow. Have you ever seen this?
@anjishnujitbandyopadhyay7874 жыл бұрын
I haven’t actually seen this , I just asked out of curiousity!! PRVC is supposed to match the patients flow right??
@RespiratoryCoach4 жыл бұрын
@@anjishnujitbandyopadhyay787 Not really, PRVC is essentially just self adjusting PC. Flow in PC is variable dependent upon compliance and resistance to achieve and sustain insp pressure for the set I time. Now, patient's insp flow will change compliance therefore changing insp flow, but it's not an attempt to match the patient’s flow. Make sense?
@ginettepatrick5860 Жыл бұрын
Why not try pressure control or pressure support at that matter so they can control their own flow?
@heartyshor4 жыл бұрын
Hey! Anesthesia intern here :) Been watching your vids for some days and they are amazing. Old video, but I dare to ask you a question. Are these statements true: In volume control flow is fixed with each breath and in pressure control, flow is variable depending on trigger (patient triggered breaths have variable flow up to ventilator maximum depending on their inspiratory effort and time triggered breaths have fixed flow by rise time? Hope my question makes sense and i don t look stupid asking :)) Keep up the videos and thank you for them!
@RespiratoryCoach4 жыл бұрын
Hi Adrian. Definitely your volume control statement is true. In regards to PC, all breaths have a variable flow to reach and sustain the set insp pressure for the set I time. Flow is variable based on compliance and resistance. Less compliant lungs require less flow to reach the insp pressure, while more compliant lungs require higher flows to reach the insp pressure. Rise time will only affect how fast the insp pressure is reached, but not affect I time. You 100% don't look stupid. Don't ever worry about that on this channel. I hope I provided you with clarity on this subject. If not, let me know and I'll try again.

The RT always tells me it's because I need to sedate more.
@RespiratoryCoach2 жыл бұрын
And that may be true in some circumstances, but not always. Imagine being on a vent and not being able to breathe the way you want to because the vent settings are different than your desired breathing pattern. Here's the process...patient-vent asynchrony = more sedation = longer time on vent = longer stay in ICU = increased risk for mortality. As you know, the easiest way to settle a vented patient is more sedation, but that's clearer not always the best option, and rarely the only option. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
