[@geovannic.736]

I’m currently in my clinical rotations and studying for my classes.. Thank you RT Coach!

You have been really helpful! The way you teach is so on point. I've learned more watching your videos than what i did in my 2 year school program and payed a tuition for.

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Hey, Luz. Thank you for this kind comment. Keep watching and let me know how I can aid you.

[@tgaskill]

I wish I had you as an instructor back in the day! Wait, you are my instructor! I this field, you never stop learning and reviewing! Thanks for what you do!

[@RespiratoryCoach]

LOL! Thanks for watching and kindly commenting, Thomas! 100% TRUTH!

[@tgaskill]

@@RespiratoryCoach I have been blessed with the opportunity to be in a position as a Respiratory Clinical Educator in a small critical access hospital. Your informative videos help me with my educational topics that I pass on to my staff.

[@RespiratoryCoach]

@@tgaskill That's awesome, Thomas. Let me know if you ever want to collaborate for the betterment of your staff!

Excellent video

Flight medic here, this is extremely helpful for refreshing. Thank you

[@greensahuaro2834]

Look at the O2 SATs and heart rate because of fatigue! Address the metabolic issue!

Im from malaysia. Thank you for your energetic lecture and making mechanical ventilation easier to understand

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Hello Nurul and Malaysia! You're very welcome. Glad it helped. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Great discussion! I agree that it's a bit odd that our PaCO2 is still that high with that minute ventilation, especially considering how well our lungs appear to be working.. Fortunately, our patients can tolerate a slight acidosis just fine and I wouldn't be very concerned about 7.31 either. My question would also be how long were we on these settings when this gas was drawn and also what was the previous gas, if there was one.

[@RespiratoryCoach]

100% Always make sure your reported ABGs matchup with the current settings/situation. Thanks for watching and contributing!

[@marcialpasek2423]

Thank you so much! And it's marcial like Marshall. I really appreciate your reply.

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Cool! I won't mess it up next time. Anytime, Marcial.

Can you also do a lecture on how to adjust vent settings for Respiratory acidosis (I.e acute on chronic and your typical respiratory acidosis) respiratory alkalosis and Metabolic alkalosis, what to do if you have hypercapnia vs hypocapnia, even if they are on separate videos, I’m sure you will get a lot of hits. Thank you!

Much love, I listen you while I do my rounds

[@physiomedicine]

Big like sir👍 Thank you very much from palestine ❤

[@greensahuaro2834]

Thanks for the input but if it's metabolic then it should be addressed first.

[@traceylomax2156]

No thank you for making mechanical ventilation easier to understand.
