Winner of a video, I've been looking for "can a cpap machine tell if your asleep" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Cenatthew Harrowing Cure - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is an awesome exclusive product for discovering how to end your sleep apnea problem without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got amazing success with it.

Great video, learn a lot, thank you!

Great review.

I was hospitalized for severe COVID and was hooked up to high flow oxygen. They eventually began weaning me down to the lower level type of oxygen. I had some serious problems with oxygen. It would severely dry my nose out. The dryness would cause nose bleeds all the time. That blood would choke and gag me. At times I had Hell breathing because my nose was so stopped up with huge blood clots and dried snot build up. It was awful. Glad they are tinkering with things to make life easier on patients.

I'm so sorry about your experience with nose bleeds! It sounds horrible.

Excellent. Very relevant in 2020 A practical aspect is the management of oxygen supply which is very high when large number of patients are connected in a Covid-19 hospital. One can refer to a video " HFOT Calculator" on KZread as a supplement to this nice video.

Thanks, new ED design underway and we want to get it right

If you add medical air to every room, you'll be able to better control FiO2 to CO2 retainers and give all nebulizers on med air instead of oxygen. Med air is ideal for neb delivery with causing hyperoxia. I think supplemental oxygen use will go down in the next decade because of the possible harmful effects of free radicals. Unfortunately, Med air in every room will blow your budget!

We use a vapotherm at our hospital and it's very similar. It's fairly new but getting popular among the physicians. Especially with our closterphobic patients that cannot tolerate bipap. Great tutorial 👍

@@krisicke4942 Great questions that I would be asking too. #1 if the setup looks like this one, then there are two heat settings 31 degrees Celsius and 37 degrees Celsius. If it is on 37, you can ask if they can turn it down to 31. #2 . 40 liters per minute is a lot of flow to go home, but more important than that the 90 % oxygen (fio2) cannot be maintained with any device at home. The goal should be to wean the fio2 to 50% or so then try to decrease the flow. Then transfer home might be more feasible.

Thank you for the tutorial!! I'm a critical care RN and we are now commonly using OptiFlow devices for COVID patients. I have talked to many of our RTs about these devices in the past, but your explanation gave me a whole new level of understanding. I def feel more confident in my knowledge-base, as I am constantly attempting to wean patients. I was wondering your perspective on the appropriate level to wean patients to a traditional (15L) HFNC? In my setting, it seems that we tend to do this when the patient has been adequately tolerating the OptiFlow on 40%/40L for some time... what is your take??

@rtclinic

2 жыл бұрын

Yes. 40 and 40 is pretty much where want to be. I wouldn't go before below 40 lpm, but you could go down on the FiO2. The covid patients respond so well to those high flows and the little bit of CPAP it creates.

@@mustbeeb Yes HFNC is very beneficial. Look up Unity Points recent reseach as well as Dr. Gerard Criners new research out of Temple. They have been managing the majority of their covid base outside of the ICU by starting COVID patients on high flow the moment they present to the hospital. In both sets of research the starting flow is between 35 to 50 LPM at 100% FiO2. Using high flow as a first line tool will prevent a ton of intubations and free up ICU beds

Ideally it needs to be on 37 degrees, but if your hospital allows changes to the temp...31 will work if requested by the patient.

Thank you for the tutorial but when I hear an RT talk about hypoxic drive and treating every CO2 retainer as being on one it really speaks volumes that the RT has never really seen a patient that truly is on a hypoxic drive (what RT's should be worried about is V/Q mismatch resulting in the Haldane effect in those end stage COPD patients who can't increase their VE but once again those are very end stage COPD) When you actually meet one you never ever forget it. You are looking at Co2 in the 120+ range with the ph in the acidic range of normal. It isn't as simple as just keeping their Saturations between 88 to 92. They'll require a lot of Oxygen just to maintain those saturations. What happens is they will stop breathing, their saturation will drop to around 84 or lower, they will take a breath, and it will shoot back up to the high 80's to low 90's, and the cycle repeats. Because their Co2 is so high you really want to minimize Metabolic Acidosis and if you don't get the O2 right you can send them spiraling. It is really really high maintenance to keep their work of breathing down (even though their work of breathing will be high) and their skin will be dusky, grey, and they will be thin and malnourished. It's the very end of end stage. I've only had one patient that I believe was on a hypoxic drive and I'll never forget it. It's very rare and it takes a hell of a lot to burn out the Hypercapnic drive and even then I'm so sure it's actually burned out. In short: You should really only worry about keeping the O2 saturations between a certain range in those end stage COPD patients who can't increase their VE and it will be really evident on what type of patients those are when you see them.
