MedCram - Medical Lectures Explained CLEARLY

Күн бұрын

Critical care specialist Roger Seheult, MD illustrates a concise review of the essential skills of mechanical ventilation. We've made this video series free at www.medcram.co...
As communities across the world are facing or preparing for increasing numbers of patients in respiratory distress from COVID-19, MedCram has packaged this video series for clinicians and hospitals on the frontlines.
We understand that medical professionals (and students) that don't have significant experience with mechanical ventilation may be called upon to help ventilator management teams in critical care settings. And clinicians with extensive ventilator experience may want a refresher or a tool to aid in teaching mechanical ventilation strategies to other clinicians.
This video series is a collection of previously recorded MedCram videos on mechanical ventilation with the addition of some COVID-19 specific videos.
This course will remain free, please share it with anyone you think may be interested. We hope you find it helpful, and we welcome feedback.
We appreciate you - medical professionals, students, and volunteers around the world. We are in this fight together.
Speaker: Roger Seheult, MD
Co-Founder of MedCram.com
Clinical and Exam Preparation Instructor
Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine.

BIG thanks from Bolivia. Since our hospitals are poorly prepared logistically for an imminent surge in the cases of infected by the covid-19, a lot of people here is seriously considering the idea of, somehow, buying a ventilator(which is actually possible) in, the very likely, case, that, one of their relatives falls severally illed and there's no room in the hospital. What they surely are not aware is of all the variables this machines has. I will share your very helpful video with as many as I can. 🙏🙏👍👍

I've done 4 things to greatly improve my lung function and overall wellness. My sleep, energy, and life outlook are greatly improved: 1. I started using the BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser about 5 years ago and still use it, 2. I stopped mouth breathing unless absolutely necessary, even when exercising, nose breathing is part of the immune system, 3. I did light mouth taping at night in order to ensure nose breathing all night, 4. I do a simple exercise to reset my CO2 levels for triggering breathing so I don't breathe so much. See Patrick McKeown's work for more about this. Voila!

Also, the Tidal Volume (Tv) only helps to remove CO2 from the lungs, you oxygenate the pt by increasing FiO2, increasing PEEP, or increasing MAP. You oxygenate pt by increasing MAP as a last resort, although oxygenation and prevention of respiratory distress (which will lead to respiratory failure) are the primary goal, try to not use 100% O2 unless necessary to prevent passive atelectasis, PEEP is good for keeping the lung open to allow oxygenation. I am rusty on knowledge of MV myself, great video, so many more variables not mentioned.

Thank you for making these videos. You shine a light for the people who are trapped in their own mind and feed into the distractions that society use to help numb the morbid reality of this world’s state. The human population has to persevere and be motivated to innovate medical technology (look into medications but using alternative methods of consumption like if an addicted vaping patient is physically conditioned to hit his e-cig, finding cure while using a similar form factor or similar action (I.e inhaler, juul), I think a ventilator that can simulate the act of smoking can help the truly in need. Additionally to help combat addiction and relapse, VR and AR can help as a way to virtually “smoke” to help alleviate cravings. It haunts me to see my medical history, my developing symptoms and lung limits nowadays. The word “EVALI” 😔, praying for the great respiratory doctors of the world to come together and save the diminishing youth.

How is the patients panic response controlled? Are they conscious, twilight or our cold? I am speaking as a 60 year old lifelong asthmatic with anxiety and panic disorder and I am sure you deal with people like myself when the need to intubate arises, One of the most alarming aspects I have read is diaphragmatic paralyzation I could not imagine not being in control of my own breath without the panic running rampant although the physical o2|co2 exchanges would be met and proven by oximetry or blood gas if the fight or flight response kicks in doesn’t the heart rate elevate and respiration increase even to the point of hyperventilation? Or is one being pumped full of benzo’s and beta blockers to let the body fight it out with the cortisol and adrenaline?

This is a very informative video - thank you. I do have a question though. A few years ago I had a partial thyroidectomy to remove a nodule. My left recurrent laryngeal nerve was cut and left me with a left paralyzed vocal cord. I have since had an injection to bulk up the vocal cord, but my left side is now in a permanently closed position. Should I ever need to be incubated, does that mean that a tube that would be used would automatically 'plow through' my vocal cord and again damage it, resulting in inability to speak again? Or can patients be successfully intimated with one-sided vocal cord paralysis? Of course I understand that in such instances ability to breathe trumps all, both just the not knowing is causing me some anxiety.
