ICU Physiology Insights

ICU Physiology Insights

In internal medicine, understanding of pathophysiology makes it easier to take care of your patients. It makes you think more clearly and critically. These concepts are however taught very early in your medical school but without context. By the time you are in your clinicals, these are mostly forgotten and medicine becomes a "rote subject" and it looks like a mountain of information that you have to remember.
You can make your life easier by understanding basic pathophysiological concepts which will reduce your effort in learning and make medicine more interesting. Unfortunately, despite there being is a lot of medical stuff out on you tube, very few discuss detailed underlying physiology and principles.
My goal is to discuss both the underlying physiology and how to apply them clinically. These will be detailed but hopefully simple. Medicine is vast and the devil is in the details.

    I thought HbS shifts the OHDC to the right whilst HbF shifts the curve to the left thus will affect the SaO2 but not the SpO2.

    @ 7:56 : 0.2ml of every 1L of oxygen is used by respiratory muscles under normal conditions. Its the green dot on the graph. This graph is taken from Nunn's respiratory physiology.

    i am glad that you could understand the complexities of multiple acid base issues going on in one patient. In pediatric intensivist world, you don't usually see such type of complex ABGs where patients have COPD and CHF together where patients are on diuretics. it becomes easy to misinterpret these as shown in the example. I hope there was an easier method but i could not find any. The first step in learning is to know that a problem exists and know what the limitations of interpretations are. If you do have a simpler method, please comment on your method so we all can learn.

    you can simply take ratio of Intravascular : total ECF compartment for any person to give you a rough idea. e.g. if intravascular volume is 3L (you can not take the cellular compartment in intravascular compartment) and interstitium is 12L; about 3/(3+12) of amount given should remain intravascular. but things are more complicated than this as we will see in further lectures. once you understand these fluid movements you will figure out more novel ways to treat your patient.

    This is the situation: Before albumin infusion: @ of filtration = @ of lymphatic return. After albumin infusion : decrease @ of filtration but lymphatic return is still the same. So net influx into vascular compartment. But after sometime, lymphatic flow will slow down as well and again @ of filtration = @ of lymphatic return.

    Life of WBC is 2-3 days after activation while RBC is about 120 days. So @ 4:35, you can see deformed RBC but all old WBC should be disintegrated. Any WBCs, if present are 'active' and suggest infection.

    5:51 In here, you mentioned Na reaching DCT and proximal collecting duct stimulates RAAS, and subsequently causing hypokalemia. However, RAAS actually turned off if macula densa sensed larged sodium (increased GFR). The reason why RAAS was activated is that loss of Na in NaHCO3 would lead to intracascular depletion, and subsequently activate RAAS, and further causing potassium loss.

  • @kaze123ckr
    @kaze123ckr2 ай бұрын

    So in a state where RAAS is activated, if you supply with NaHCO3 load, Na will be reabsorbded and potassium will lose more.

    6:29 If urine output increase giving the condition of same urine osmolarity, you should drink less water or else will worsened hyponatremia. My question is if a patient was in a state of high ADH (= high urine osmolarity) They should be less urine produced right? (anti diuresis) So if urine amount increase, probably their urine osmolarity (ADH) was decreasing simultaneously. You start to pee out free water. Your serum sodium will rise. In this discussion, to maintain serum sodium constant. If urine output increase, you need to drink more water to maintain serum sodium constant.

    If patient came to ER and suffering from vomiting , headache, dizziness , fatigue and unusual gait from three days . No medical history except taking antidepressants for two months. We found his sodium 122 and potassium 3.2 , shall we give him 3% hypertonic saline immediately?

  • @gagankumarMD
    @gagankumarMD2 ай бұрын

    this would be a difficult question to answer as the literature is scarce with regard to your patient in question. Usually this level of sodium should not cause such a degree of symptoms. Likely dehydration and low volume status are confounding the symptoms. I would be a bit cautious in using 3%, however, if your rise in Na is within the range, it should be ok. note that 150cc of 3% will bring Na up by 1-2 points, so using some to increase Na by few points should not be cause of concern. you will certainly find docs on both side of spectrum - some will, some wont. No good evidence based answer for this one.

    9:45 Hey!thanks for your informative video I have a question on Since Urine sodium were assessed using concentration. Low ECV as a stimulus of both ADH and Aldosterone Aldosterone will decrease the urine sodium loss, and reflective as low urine sodium concentration Simultaneously, ADH effect will decrease free water loss, and increase the urine sodium concentration. So I think in some situations like in a true SIADH patient ADH are too high and the concurrent low ECV status and the activation of Aldosterone cannot be found or masked by High ADH if we using urine sodium concentration I don’t know if my thinking process is correct?

  • @gagankumarMD
    @gagankumarMD3 ай бұрын

    you are right. In a true SIADH : ADH are inappropriately high so your urine concentration (osmolality) is high. SIADH is a euvolemic state. So RAAS doesnt gets stimulated so no Aldosterone. So normal Urine Sodium. in low stimulation of baroreceptor (true hypovolemia, CHF, cirrhosis etc.): ADH is actually appropriately high. So urine osmolality is high. And RAAS is stimulated as well. so low urine sodium. Note that urine osmolality depends on "addition" or "removal" of water, rather than the solutes !!!

  • @kaze123ckr
    @kaze123ckr3 ай бұрын

    Hi thank you for your replied! In CHF、Cirrhosis, ADH is appropriately high. But RAAS was also simultaneously activated. When ADH high urine osmarity will be elevated, I think so do urine sodium concentration. When RAAS activated,,due to reabsorption of sodiu, urine sodium concentration will be low. I am wondering just like this situation, is urine sodium concentration good for evaluating whether RAAS is being activated? Or aldosterone effect on lowering urine sodium concentration is just protent than ADH elevating urine osmolarity and sodium concentration ???

He hasn't any improvements . And now doctor again increase the dose to 60 - 40 mg BD and still there's no significant changes.... What's the problem? Can you please assist me with this

    I am really sorry to hear that . . . this channel is not really for medical advice but for people in medical field to know underlying pathophysiology and use this knowledge to understand how to help them. If you are in medical field, i would suggest you go through the CHF and diuresis series and read the references. There is a good CHF guidelines by AHA which is freely available. I do suggest that you start with that.

    I have two queries, for a patient in ACMV all the spontaneous respirations will be fully assisted by the ventilator, so is it important to set the RR high in a tachonoeic patient ? Second query is what happens to the I E ratio when the RR is increased or decreased ? Will it change or remain the same ?

  • @gagankumarMD
    @gagankumarMD6 ай бұрын

    This video is for the initial settings only. When you intubate your patients, most doctors will use paralytic. This is the time where you try to match the tachypnea. once the paralytic wears off, and patient is triggering the vent at higher rates than set rate, he will get TV at his respiratory rate. Watch - "how to optimize Flows & RR" to further adjust the RR in these patients. this video will answer your second question as well. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nYmlx66zadHVacY.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/fplpq8aGfdOtkag.html

    usually reserve hypertonic saline for low sodiums. once you cross 120, fluid restriction may be sufficient. but to answer your question, it is not overcorrection if it slowly goes from 122 to 138. if it is 124 next daya nd 138 on second, it will be overcorrection.
