This is a great refresher for RT's going from adult critical care to NICU! Thank you Jimmy!

[@ARose829]

Thanks. I love to see how other RTs teach. You are clear with your explanations. I will definitely take some of your techniques back to my staff.

[@ARose829]

I also used to put stickers on my HFOV and have my cheat sheet written on the side of machine for my dept.

[@Harry.72]

I was setting an oscillator up the other day using what you taught and my clinical coordinator said you are completely wrong. I trained in a real level III NICU and used you as a refresher. We go from adults to NICU each round.

[@rtclinic]

Sorry to hear that your coordinator didn't agree with my setup 😕.

[@Harry.72]

​@@rtclinic very annoying having narrow-minded management. I was trained in a level III and taught to setup exactly like your video 😊

[@lilliesnlilacs3582]

So helpful right now. I haven't touched HFOV since school and we are starting to use them again with COVID-19

[@rtclinic]

It's like riding a bike 😁👍

[@stephaniew3813]

Thx for a quick review. Helped dust off the cobwebs in my brain on set up and settings.

[@rtclinic]

Glad it helped!

[@Suzi_P]

Thank you. Plz do more videos , we need this. Yourvideos are very helpful

[@ventilator98]

Great great video!! I recommend a video on IPV! Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation.

[@rtclinic]

Peter, I would love to, but I do not have an IPV machine. 🙁

[@drewbarriosarguello4985]

How about a video on weaning from the vent. Different ways of weaning starting anywhere from AC-SIMV-CPAP-TBAR, or AC straight to TBAR trial then back to AC at night. Of course including gases while weaning. Thats a video I'd like to see. It's intersting to see how other Therapists teach their students. So thats A vid Id like to see

[@rtclinic]

Great suggestion. I'm a big fan of the AC to CPAP to Extubate method, but I'll work on something with all options.

[@deecee1225]

Thanks for the videos Jimmy.

[@asc.k1865]

Good stuff! How about videos on combination HFOV+NO? Good gravy that stuff is fun and easy to set up.....NOT

[@sinclair657]

Thank you so much!! 💓

Any tips for excessive drift with the mean? It’s something I’ve dealt with since I started NI but last couple of years the drift has been as much more and happens quicker.

[@rtclinic]

Sounds like the seals on your oscillator need to be changed. There is a kit that Biomed can purchase to replace all these items as a PM.

[@robertryan627]

@@rtclinic ahhhh! Thank you! I’ll get on that tomorrow.

[@itsssmenil7287]

Hi do you have video about jet ventilator ?

[@rtclinic]

Nope. I don't have a jet vent to use for demo. 😞
