4 years of medical school, 3 years of residency training, 14 years of practice (including Level II Nursery) and this is, BY FAR, the BEST explanation of respiratory physiology I have ever seen or heard. Great review of oxygenation/ventilation, V/Q matching and V/Q mismatch, and how critical lung compliance is to the respiratory process. Outstanding.

Also love that - having been out for so long- you still feel like you have stuff to learn. Thank you so much!!

Thank you so very much. ❤😇❤

Tiffany thanks so much for writing to us!!! I love that these videos have been used by actual educational programs! Honestly- I think MV in general is one of those things that’s quite hard to understand until your actually at the bedside using ventilators. Then- if you have any sort of background it all sort of clicks into place. We’re trying to set up a video where we go through the different settings on an actual machine- just need to get logistics in place!!! good luck in your role! Hope you love it!!!

Hi Tala! What a great video. I'm an RN in NICU in New Zealand, starting my orientation on ventilated infants very soon. These videos have helped me prepare tremendously. I was wondering if you have any show notes? The information and the way you explain it makes so much sense to me. Would be great to have a written version too! Thanks :)

Hello Anjeleka- sorry it took a couple of days to answer!! That's so cool you're all the way in New Zealand- another bucket list destination for us! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to write. Before we film the videos we make up a rough script (and then sometimes I go on diversions!)- but is that the sort of thing you had in mind? I'm (Tala) much more of a reader-learner too- or at least I need to read to reinforce what I heard. Do you have any suggestions of how we could do this? What format? We should probably do some youtube research and figure out what everyone else is doing! ha! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you again!

Thank you so much for your simplified explanations! Can you explain 'plateau pressure' please? I see it in the picture you posted in this video to show 'quick guide to lung compliance', thank you!

@TalaTalksNICU

2 жыл бұрын

Hello! Yes- you're right- I didn't cover this enough- and honestly from a clinical standpoint we don't use the term much. But basically- think of the pressure you have to give- as having to overcome two different obstacles to get the lungs to inflate. The first is the resistance (e.g. if you have. really long ETT or lots of secretions), and the second is the actual compliance of the lungs. The plateau pressure refers to just the pressure needed to open up the lungs (i.e. if the resistance were zero- which practically cannot happen). So for example- if you need a PIP of 23 to get a volume of say 4ml/kg of the lungs. If you cut down (a really long ETT) then you'd need maybe a PIP of 22. This decreases the overall pressure needed, but the compliance of the lungs is the same- and so the plateau pressure is the same. make sense??

Thanks for the great suggestion- but I don't think I'm enough of an expert to give a lecture on cranial ultrasound imaging- unless it pertains to IVH and post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus. We did that video on IVH, so maybe take a look at that? Is there something in particular you would like us to cover? Thanks for watching and for commenting!

I understand the PEEP..pip..anda the delta change.but i couldnt understanda the TV change by number.how to calculate when on pressure control vent. Tank you so much.

@TalaTalksNICU

Жыл бұрын

Another great question! When you're on a pressure control type of vent- you will not necessarily know how much the tidal volume will be affected. The machines would measure it. Obviously, you assume that as you increase the PIP the tidal volume will increase. (Although, as you realize, this depends on the compliance in the lungs and where on the curve the lungs are).
