[@zlope6159]

I don't know how to thank you enough, U R really making me love MV, I'm studying mechanical ventilation this semester, and I had difficulties in understanding things, but U really helped me, thank you very much. your student from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦.

[@RespiratoryCoach]

You don't have to thank me! Take every ounce of thank and turn it in to phenomenal patient care. That's how you best can thank me. Go Be Great!

You are such a diamond! It has been my issue regarding AVF superimposed CVF but I don't know what to say when I know there is something wrong but they say it's CVF.

[@RespiratoryCoach]

You're too kind. Now you know what to say! Thanks for watching, Liz.

[@alejandrobonilla1141]

Thank you for making AVF and CVF video, this makes more sense to me now, looking forward to the next video. thank you Coach 👍

[@RespiratoryCoach]

You're very welcome, Alejandro. More coming soon.

[@paulinetweh6523]

Very helpful. Thanks so much

[@JerrilynMartinez-ui3xy]

thanks so much for the video! I just have one question , how do you determine if AVF is superimposed on CVF??? is it only based on the high HCO3??

[@jayo6557]

Makes total sense; Thank you

[@ramadanberbash2482]

very nice, my question is how to differentiate between acute on chronic respiratory acidosis and partially compensated respiratory acidosis (without knowing older ABG) Thanks

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Great question! You're correct. Without a known baseline you truly don't know if the bicarb is at baseline or attempting to compensate. The H&P can provide clues along with the presence of chronic physical findings (digital clubbing, barrel chest, etc.) can provide distinguishing insight, but other than that a prior abg is needed to know for certain. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@matty00926]

Do you have a video about hyperventilation due to an arterial stick, effecting the ABG result?

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Hey Matthew! Not specifically related to pre-stick hyperventilation, but I did post a respiratory alkalosis video shortly after this one. Discussed hyperventilation associated with pain and anxiety, but didn't mention this specific scenario. Thanks for mentioning that!!

[@Marrryjizle]

THANK YOU! APPRECIATE YOU!

[@RespiratoryCoach]

You're very welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting!!!

[@TamNguyen-lu9fd]

[@EmilyTheresa93]

Hey coach thank you so much for this. I feel so much more confident with it now. But do you have any tips for people who struggle with exam questions? Im really worried about the TMCs i will be taking this summer

[@KRAPYBARA84]

My RT school also throws in BE ( -2 +2) why doesnt anyone add that to the abgs?

[@LauraMartinez-eq9rq]

[@Dollfacenowaist]
