Great point on neb deliveries. Be very cautious of nebulizing AmphoB and the airway resistance. It can malfunction the vent as the flow sensor won't be able to read the exhaled flow.

Great point! Thanks for watching and commenting. GO BE GREAT!

Great video

Great video 👏 in the LTACH setting I work at we use these as their source of humidity. In 16 months I’ve seen 3 patients code from a clogged HME. A combination of copious secretions and therapists not inspecting the device lead to the dangerous situations.

Usually HMEs are to be changed every 72 hrs per manufacturers... is there not a policy on it in the LTACH?

@@inspiredx3866I have to change HME’s as much as every 5 hours in my building because of the water accumulation and in some cases the sputum accumulation. It’s especially bad here in Florida where the humidity is high. Room temp plays a part as well

Hi sir, Cud u plz put a video on what kind of mechanical ventilators are the best.......compressor based or other types of ventilators ,and why Thanks

Should the inline end tidal sampling line be in front of or behind the HME?

Hi, do you have any videos on nursing meds that we need to know as RTs?

@RespiratoryCoach i am a RT student at Carteret Community College and are learning about EKGs. Can you do a video on interpreting EKGs & include the Eithovens triangle? Thank you so much.

What is the ideal position to add a bacterial and viral filter in a ventilator circuit with heated humidifier/ HME ?

Would you say HME's are sanitary to an extent? How often should you change them out?

Ther is cap and valve in back of HME , what is the penefet of that ??
