This was great! Thanks so much from a nursing student in 2021!

Awesome job condensing this. It is so easy to get overwhelmed with super wordy textbooks. Thanks for taking the time and making this for healthcare professional students.

Please continue to make videos because you helping so many nursing students learn difficult concepts in a simplified way!

Gail you're the best! All of your lectures go hand in hand with what I'm learning in school. Please don't stop making these videos! A great addition to these concepts would be to add quizzes at the end that challenge the viewer. That's one thing that differs between our NCLEX prep books, Q and A books, and our nursing exams. Good, quality questions that challenge your critical thinking.

Jared, I definitely appreciate the feedback and will look into quizzing in addition to adding to the content list of videos. Sorry it's a little slow as I do this on my off time.

Gail Lupica, it's completely understandable. I'm grateful for what you've done thus far!

Thank you Gail for the lecture videos, they're short to the point and understandable, not lost! please continue with more videos, God bless you!!:)

Thank you very much.

Great lecture. Thank you.

Thank you for your teaching

Again another awesome tid bit from another awesome video! Just learned Mannitol this week and no mention in our lecture unfortunately about requiring a filtered drip form IV...your med tip sent me into a full Davis Drug Guide research trip of all the meds you listed for TBI/IICP!!! Another amazing approach to whole system dx & tx patient care, from not only a nursing approach, but medicinal and surgical interventions you talked about on the other videos as well! Bravo again Gail! Great neuro series thanks!!! Now onto “ventilators made easy” to prep for ICU clinicals starting this week ☺️ DebbieQ

Debbie Q, You are such an enthusiastic learner! You'll be an excellent RN!

great job

Excellent video. I am going to include your information on my education channel.

perfect

Had an ICU patient recently with ICP steady at 19-22, max 39 after MVA w/ ejection, multiple surgeries, multi-system issues. Mannitol is not recommended for extreme cases now, even though it was the main drug taught in school. Hypertonic fluids (3% NS, 23%NS IVP) plus Lasix given. Precedex preferred over propofol (BP), along with fentanyl, and pressors to keep up the ICP/CCP

wow, thanks for sharing. It's funny because I still have to talk about Mannitol because it's important for NCLEX.

You mentioned curlings ulcers from the stress, but in the case of ICP, isn't the ulcer considered a cushings ulcer?

Hi William, You are correct! But, it's essentially the same problem with a different name.

Okay, I just wanted to make sure I had the terminology correct. Thank you for the reply. Your videos are great and very informative.

This is more for sudden increased pressure right? Like in case of injuries, etc.? (I am not a medical student) I have Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) which is chronic and I have had it for years. I wonder if at least some of this information is relevant to that? The stimulus thing is interesting as I get overstimulated a lot and loud noise tends to bring up my pressure.

Also I elevate my head at night and it doesn't hurt as much in the morning.

Yes. This is directed at more severe cases like with traumatic brain injury.
