I had my first CRNA interview today and got accepted right on the spot. Your videos helped me a ton, and your explanations are amazing! Thank you so much!!!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Congratulations! Thats fantastic news and so happy to hear that. Way to go. Truly happy to know that I was able to help in some way. Go on and do great things!

[@othmanekaidi8]

Superb! Readings didn’t yield any results, yet a video made it suddenly all clear. I can’t thank you enough. God bless you

[@rezgatchi726]

Im new in Critical Care and your videos has been a big help in my transition from an Obs and Gyne Nurse to a Critical Care Nurse. From womb to tomb 😅 Thank you for all your amazing videos💕

[@leahp.316]

From womb to tomb...😂 But we all do our best to keep our ICU patients away from going down that route.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Lol from womb to tomb! 😂😂 But more than welcome for the videos. Always great to hear they are well received. Thank you!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Yes, Leah, def doing our best to try and prevent that!

[@ingothitrust5248]

Most medical managed ICU patients tend to go straight to the tomb, so it's pretty accurate. Your odds are better in trauma or have an ailment that needs to be surgically repaired......on a lighter note, welcome to critical care! Where our opinions don't matter (to physicians) and you'll be burned out in a year or so.

Wowwww! Omg I have not seen this method since I worked CICU at U of M i tried to explain this to ppl and no one has a clue what this is ! I had to do this on graph paper literally sigh yes math class indeed! I will never forget FICK!

[@heatherfree5916]

Perfect timing, I have 3 right heart caths today! A brief explanation of what we do with that CO or CI number would’ve been good ending

[@heartofthematter247]

So we use CO or CI to determine what needs to be adjusted in order to improve that number, if need be. If the CO/CI needs to be improved, usually fluids or meds that improve the heart squeeze are given 🫀

[@flightsimmer7410]

Speaking in general for all your videos!! They are all great and fantastic. Very educational and informative even though you're not an ICU nurse. I have seen them all👍👍👍👍

[@younesaissaoui8442]

Great video. I just want to point out that values of CO should be in L/min/m2 (indexed CO). Thaks a lot for your efforts.

[@prof.dr.huseyinbozbas498]

Great presentation, quite understanding

[@jeremyj7157]

This is good stuff. I'm not even in the ICU and I watch and enjoy your content. I hope to be one day. Keep up the great content.

[@ICUAdvantage]

I appreciate that! Glad you enjoy the videos

[@191bonbon]

🔥🔥🔥 content!!! Idk how to make this any simpler. Thank you so much!!

[@roland.j.ruttledge]

Always informative and well presented. Many thanks Roland UK

[@ICUAdvantage]

Thanks as always Roland. Hope you are doing good.

[@jonathane9956]

Great video! I'm a new ICU nurse and I've been watching your content since nursing school. I did had a question though. How practical is the Fick Principal and when is it used? In terms of measuring fluid/volume status, a general ICU assessment seems enough. Is this principle applied more in scenarios of mechanical-assisted devices, post-MI's or transplants?

[@n3riiii]

Thanks for the video! As a german (even though I consider myself a grown-up) I had to giggle the whole time ;D

[@dgmnhn2098]

Thanks !

[@munganiayvonne3548]

Thanks so much, you are awesome...

[@wex_0098]

The hospital I work at uses the equation 12.5 / 1.36(SaO2-SVO2)xHgb instead to calculate the Fick CI. Do you know why? What’s the 12.5 for?

[@jvictoraa]

Hello, I love your channel and watch several videos. Would you help me? A 50-year-old patient with BSA 2.04, SVcO2 93%, SaO2 100%, Hgb 7.1 g/dl, without intracardiac shunts, but anesthetized. Why is the result so absurd? My result would be 38 liters! Where is the error?

[@avinabd4501]

Where is the solubility coefficient in the formulae?? 0.003*pao2

[@NaomiSiambulo]

I don't understand the unit that the height and weight is given in to get that BSA please laborate

[@droopingsnoot2761]

I REALLY misread the title of this video at first

[@florinpasca2000]

U don't want to translate in german...

[@SALIMMIRFATHASSAN]

is125 a constant?

[@RobyVicary]

What is more accurate than the direct Fick method? How did we come to know it is 8% inaccurate?
