Being able to closely monitor patients is a staple of critical care and one thing we constantly do is monitor our patients breathing. Managing respiratory failure is something that you will do all the time. In this lesson I talk about what exactly respiratory failure is and how we classify it based on Type 1 Hypoxemic and Type 2 Hypercapnic, as well as covering the many different causes within 4 major groups from impaired ventilation (hypoventilation), impaired gas exchange, airway obstruction, and ventilation perfusion mismatch. From there we review over the signs and symptoms for patients in respiratory failure as well as the different diagnostic tests we can see. Finally I cover some of our principals of management for these patients and things you could expect to see and do.

    I'm a senior in my BSN program and currently taking advanced concepts/critical care/med surg 2 (many different names for this course). Thank you so much for these videos. They always help me understand more and not just memorize things. I find it really difficult to memorize things without fully understanding the why's and how's. I spend hours getting caught up if I want to know "why." Your drawings with the alveoli and gas exchange were so hopeful too. My instructor doesn't provide visuals for any patho/bio. You're a great teacher. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge in a digestible way!!

    So when the alveoli collapses , 1st'ly this leaves space and the molecular chain falling off its sprocket , ? is mostly the capillarie itself will fill the void creating a new link leaving DNA debris to be recycled maybe a healthy process to rejuvenate alveoli, autonomiclly displacing proteins and enzymes

    What about cpb machine, when doing cardiac bypass surgery the lungs are not ventilated in some cases causing atalextasis. Why is this?

  • @ICUAdvantage

    @ICUAdvantage

    2 жыл бұрын

    I'm not as familiar with the workings of bypass during cases. I thought they always keep ventilating the lungs during the case. If they stop, then there is no airway pressure to split the alveoli open which would lead to collapse, aka atelectasis. But again, this isn't first hand knowledge on the subject.

    I had a patient with labored RR in the 30s-40s, tachycardia in 150s, no fever, and spo2 at 100 on 4L of O2. He has a hx of COPD and new onset cough. Lactics were elevated. What do you suggest is a reason for the high spo2 and the increase work of breathing especially in a COPD patient

    Given his lactic is elevated, it seems as though his RR may be trying to blow off CO2 to correct a probable acidosis. His respiratory distress doesn't seem to be related to his oxygenation. This appears to be ventilation related. Given his COPD, his CO2 clearance may not be the best already and then needing to blow off more to correct acidosis could be causing strain. Did he have an infection going on (pneumonia, sepsis)? Did you get an ABG?

    @@ICUAdvantagethis was an ER pt btw or information was coming in real time. from what I could remember he probably had some acute lower respiratory infection. All I can remember is his pH being 7.11 or something. And when you say ventilation, are we talking about the oxygenation in the tissues (as suppose to the alveoli)? Never could understand why spo2 (given that it is an accurate number) would be normal and they still have a hard time breathing. Thanks for the reply

    @@bre97bj Got ya. Ok and yeah with a pH of 7.1 he is very acidotic and thus the body wants to blow off CO2 to compensate for that. Ventilation is the movement of air in and out of the lungs. Ventilation (or minute ventilation) is what drives CO2 clearance. Breathe faster and with larger volumes (aka increased minute ventilation) then you blow off more CO2, which is what this gentleman was trying to do it seems. With COPD, ventilation is not great (as well as oxygenation can also suffer). Given this pt was so acidotic, he really needed a lot of good ventilation to blow off a lot of CO2 to compensate, which he probably was not able to do and thus his respiratory drive continued to want to increase, which was probably what you were seeing. Certainly could be other things at play too, but this is a big one that stands out for me.

    Why did you classify V/Q mismatch separate from impaired gas exchange?

    VQ mismatch is pretty broad in what encompasses and contribute. Specifically covered impaired gas exchange to understand the physiology around that alveolar-capillary membrane gas exchange and the disturbances that can result. Certainly impaired gas exchanges contributes to VQ mismatch, but so do the other causes discussed in there.
