Ventilator Modes Explained! PEEP, CPAP, Pressure vs. Volume

Excellent !

Thankyou sir.

PEEP is not usually measures in mmHg, it is also measured in cmH2O

Wonderful 😊

Thank you so much. You’re such a blessing 😊

very good video!

Would you ever consider doing any case study walk-throughs? I get so much out of your lectures and would love to see it applied to scenarios. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!

thanks for sharing

Excellent. Thanks indeed

Thank you Sir!

I have a question...can you please explain why we see apnea ventilation alarm on the ventilator while it's on SIMV mode ? Isn't the ventilator supposed to deliver mandatory preset rate of breaths to the patient?

what's the video following this

Whats the difference btween ipap and pressure support????????????

Beautifully explained!!

My goodness, this is the best explanation I've ever seen. Thank you. Consider me subscribed!

Great👍👍

Thanks 👍

I've been working as a respiratory physiotherapist during this covid period and trying my best to understand ventilators and this video is a God-send!

Thank you, and much appreciation from South Africa 🇿🇦

Made it very simple and comprehensible in one go..... Thanq so much.

Great Explanation. I understood the concepts quite easy. Sir You are awesome teacher.

Perfect am grateful and I benefit from your lectures. Keep the spirit

Please refer to your RT ! 🥰

Why start at 5 ? Ps ? You mean PSV? Is not NOT like AC! This is maybe good for an explanation for a resident, but it's not exact. Maybe you should have had a Respiratory Therapist do the education?

Q

Are PEEP units in standard atmospheres pressure?

Will you consider labeling these videos as a series? I appreciate the information, but I did not know this was a continuation of another video until I began watching. Now I have to go find the earlier video. A link would make this easier.

Wow.. Thanks

Excellent

Great video. Keep making more lectures!

Excellent Video. Being an engineering student with no background in field of medicine, it was really easy to understand.

Beautiful

Can anyone tell me why PEEP does not result in an element of 're-breathing' ? Or if it does? If there is an artifically-applied residual pressure at the end of expiration then that pressure must be coming from a volume of gas (Boyle's Law, right). That volume of gas is going to become higher in CO2 and lower in O2 with every breath (i.e. being rebreathed), despite there being an element of diffusion/mixing with the new gas coming in with each inspiration? Or is this the wrong way of looking at it? I understand that there is often a transient hypercarbia with the application of PEEP and wonder if this is reflective of this 're-breathing' that I am referring to? Any help, greatly appreciated.

I am about to start the last prac of my BSN in ICU and love these to help me wrap my head around what I will be learning before I get there. Thank you for the clear explanations.

thanks .. but is the peep measured in cmH2O or mmHg

thankyou a better explanation than that which I used to build DIY ventilator, very interesting.Shame I didnt see this 2 months ago lol

Essential info. best explained for non resp. med staff, operating ventilators during Pandemic .Thank you

My husband is watching this. Can I modify a BiPAP machine to act as a ventilator for COVID 19 surge

Amazing video. Thanks to Corona Virus, your videos are coming to fore! Keep up the good work, Doc!

Excellent video. These are useful for docs that do not normally run ventilators, but may be called to do so, with the COVID pandemic

So, I'm a bi pap user and Ive been talking to anyone that's willing to listen that these bipaps might be the poor cousin option for a ventilator, since we are short a few hundred thousand vents, and the cost is 40k give or take and the bi pap or the apap could be very useful at approx. 2k a piece, why would we not use these as a bridge? Please explain pros vs cons.

audio quality is terrible. constant background echo

Hello Doctor, these are really good clear videos. I'm an engineer trying to get a grip on all this for the purposes of understanding the requirements for emergency ventilators
Would it be possible to edit the video titles with a numeric sequence? This should help learning everything in the most useful way. Or make up an ordered list? Many thanks again

The best way to get this information really dialed in is to work for or intern with a vent assisted person in the community. We are very active individuals and look for cool detail-oriented individuals who we train on our type of ventilator, settings, and accessory equipment. You need to know your client ventilates and quickly problem solve if the alarms sound or a tube disconnects.. After a while you will be competent and confident working around people on vents and especially conscious people who use ventilators in the community. We're also pretty cool if I do say so myself :) !
