I've been a CRT for going on 34 years and I'm in school to get my registry and have found your channel invaluable. You have a gift for teaching. Thanks for your content.

I just started PFT class, and I am SO HAPPY you have a 4-part series on PFTs. I am not freaked out anymore!!!

PLEASE KEEP MAKING VIDEOS- YOURE HELPING ME!!

You are the BEST!! I don't know what I would do without you!! Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into these videos!!!

You made me understand what I could not in years. Thank you so much for this video and your time. I really appreciate what you are doing!

After 9 years in the field, 0 have been spent in the PFT lab. I'm heading to small town Texas to help during this pandemic and I'm running the show at this 25 bed hospital. PFTs, ECGs, Blood gas lab, even the occasional Holtor monitor! Anyway, your videos are gold. Thanks for the refresher and keep up the good work!

Last few months, preparing for boards, this is a fantastic refresher, and helps WAY more than my actual lectures did.

Another awesome video with all the necessary key-concepts. Thank you!

Hey, Daniele! Thank you for watching and sharing this kind comment. I hope I do it justice!

I am a Senior in the Respiratory Program and I am having a hard time with PFTs. I watched all 4 videos/liked/& subscribed. You broken it down and described it in much simpler terms! Thank you so much!!!!!!!! Looking forward to watching more videos! P.S. I shared this with other classmates as well. :)

I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos to help us future Respiratory Therapists! Your videos on Mechanical Ventilation saved me this semester. 🙏

Your videos are SO great and I’ve recommended them to a study group I was in for the tmc. I graduated 6 years ago, but life happened and I put the test off. After 3 months of studying Kettering and your videos, I passed the tmc with the high cut. THANK YOU so much for sharing your knowledge!!! This series was my favorite to go over. I felt dumb, but each time I watched it, something else clicked for me and it saved me yesterday. So many pft questions! Thanks again! Kelly

I couldn't say without without performing the test. A good PFT Technician can get valid test results from the most severe patients.

I was just wondering if the loops in the pft and in mechanical vent are somewhat related with each other.

@RespiratoryCoach

4 жыл бұрын

100%. A flow-volume loop is a flow-volume loop. A scoop on the flow-volume loop equals obstruction. Obviously, more problems may exist with an ett, secretions, biting, etc, but you get the point. Right?

@yugioh2463

4 жыл бұрын

@@RespiratoryCoach i know that for obstructive the problem is the flow and for restrictive the problem is the volume. Also if i am correct, the graphics (inhalation, exhalation) you see in pft is opposite on what you see in the vent.

@@yugioh2463 That's correct, but only opposite in that in the vent expression is on the bottom of the graphics, where it is on the top of the flow-volume loop during a PFT.

Patient 3 why we didn’t say he has both obstructive and restrictive? Because both ratio and FVC are out of normal

not all heroes wear capes but the good ones wear scrubs xD

Yes 🤣

A scoop of poop... No wait, a scoop in the loop. Got it 👍😁

Hey Michael. How you been? Glad to see you on the channel.

Isn’t patient 3 both obstructive and restrictive since the FVC is less than 80% and FEV1/FVC ratio is also less than 70%? You said he’s just obstructive

God please me help me. It is still not clicking.

Thank you
