Start with 5 ft = 50 kg Then add 2 x the inches left over Example: 5' 8'' = 50 kg + 8(2) = 50kg + 16 = 66kg This is quick and approximate math and its what's being taught in my Kettering book.

This was great! I’m RT that left the field for 10 years and now back again. This has been very helpful

thank you so much! I’m in RT school and I just found your channel and already I’ve gotten a lot of concepts cleared up. you’re making a real difference I hope you know that

I've been an RT for 2 years and I still go back and listen to your videos to refresh on things. Thank you for your content, I hope u keep putting out videos. I wish there was a way to show my support!

This teaching is so much easier to digest than even the Kettering lectures. 🙏🏾 thank you.

Thank you for helping me refresh my formulas and calculations, I retired after 30 years and decided to return PRN during COVID, I wish you existed 33 years ago, school would've been so much easier! LOL!

Thanks! Keeps me from always second guessing myself! Really easy to understand and follow! YOU ROCK!!!! 🤘🤘🤟

You are a savior mann....I have an exam tomorrow and I m binge watching your videos😂

Yo thank you so much for the help man you’re a blessing . A trick I do for the 6’0 + patients when trying to find IBW for example : if the male is 6’4 I just multiply the 4 by itself which gives me 16. If they are 6’5 I multiply the 5 by 5 which will give me 25. Etc etc you’ll always get the answer in the parenthesis.

You’ve made learning MV a breeze! The explanations make sense now!

“Shortcut”: IBW (kg)=50+(2x inches over 5’) Then add a zero to end of kg (this is the max Vt) Range: Then kg/2 = min Vt Ex: I’m 5’7 sooooo 50+(2X7)=64kg Add a zero- 640kg 640/2= 320kg My mechanical vent range is 320-640 Learned this shortcut from Kettering and is a good “guesstimate” for Vt setting on vent..so far with all my practice test it’s been working.

This has been awesome thank you! Been on maternity leave and needed to brush up before heading back to work!

I’m watching your video in new year night 2023, my first video of the year

These videos are literally helping me so much I wish you could come be a speaker for my class my teacher figures out how to explain it us using all your videos

Thank you for all of these videos! Very helpful for me as a recent grad. I think the reason why we start at PEEP of 2-6 is because when the patient is intubated, it takes off the normal physiologic PEEP which is around 2ish. Ive read it somewhere, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you so much for the simplicity of the concept.

God bless you for saving a situation 🙏

Thank you so much. I am in my fourth semester and this video really helped me a lot

You are awesome, Thank you so much for helping me understand mechanical ventilation

I was just getting on here to see if you had a video on this AND here it is!!! 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 thank you!!

It’s such a shame that we cant claim your lectures for CEUs !!

Me and my friends are currently studying for our Board Exam 🤣 and we’d do rationales together and some of our classmates would go “how did you guys come up with that???” And the 3 of us who’s watching your videos for help goes “oh, Respiratory Coach said it on one of his videos about mech vents” and they’d go “who????” And we’d send them your youtube link 😂 you’re such a great help! I think there are 5 or 6 of us who’s currently watching your videos to help us with our board exam review 😁👏🏻

thank you so much your method of explaining and formulas made it easy to understand and calcuate

Love your videos and love what you're doing with educating future Respiratory Therapists. One quick question, I know your channel is aimed towards students, but is there any way you could make a video for therapists who precept and things we can do better to be better preceptors? Also would love to hear input from current students as well. Thank you so much!

Best teacher, thank you so much

Other methods Male 106 + 6(H-60) Female 105 + 5(H-60) Or Male 50 + 2.3(H-60) Female 45 × 2.3(H-60)

This has helped so much!! Been looking for a review over this

You are the man.

great explanation sir , concept is crystal clear , thank you for the lecture sir , sir how do we calculate the IBW for a child , neonate , is there a difference sir, sir teach us about initial vent settings to a child ( paediatric) , neonate , sir teach us about neonate vent meathods , modes , settings ,

Good explanation, next video on indication and initial pressure-control settings. Thanks and Regards.

This video is awsome, great job.

You have been a tremendous help during my respiratory program. Can do a video on the oscillator and setting?

Same question in my mind has been answered...thanks coach😊

Thank You, These breakdowns are great.

You explain very well. I wonder if you could do a video explaining co2 retainers, what their arterial blood looks like and what the chemoreceptors respond to.

Thanks coach

Loving these videos

Yes!!! I was struggling know this makes sense

Thank you this make a lot of sense 😊🙏

Thanku so much i was so confused!! 😁🇿🇦

Very helpful, thank you!!

I'm really hoping someone can pls answer this within several hrs. Question: When setting up an aerosol face mask or ATM, AFT, etc....with a SVN inline..how would this be set up? Would I attach the Svn clear tubing to an O2 flowmeter or utilize the Med air..at 6-8 L/min? If I use an access O2 flowmeter how would this affect Fio2? I understand that w/COPD PT ..I would utilize the med air.. I hope this question makes sense the way I explained it. Thank you ahead of time.

Do you have a video of what to do after setting initial vent settings after receiving abg results I struggle with this the most

Very useful sir

Very informative sir...

What is the patient’s Vital Capacity expressed as ml/kg? thanks you are great teacher.

❤️❤️

Would you please offer a video about trigger setting on mechanical ventilation ; Thank you....

Should be noted that I:time should be adjusted for actual rate rather than set rate.

Thank you

Thanks!

Could you explain dead space and the calculation more. Also expand on peep and what that is How do I see what other videos you have done as your video is excellent

Would you mind making a video on calculating a pts spontaneous Vt and spontaneous minute ventilation? Thank you, your videos have helped me so much

This is great. I finally got the whole picture now. Do these formulas also apply to pediatrics and neonates? Thankyou so much for these videos.

You are the best

Very good explanation but this does not include the calculation of IBW that is under 5 FT

I love your videos! Would you mind doing one on Time Cycled, Volume Cycled, Pressure Cycled and Flow Cycled?

So if it is 60" or less, you simply leave it at 106+6/2.2? Or 105+5/2.2? So the lower end is always fixed to either 50.9 or 50? Then of course multiply to get your volumes...

I don't understand how you got 6X61 is 367 because I get 366 and 61X8 is 488 I don't understand how you got 490 Please advise

Where can i learn about deadspace ...what is that 😬

How about adding dead space to initial vt, 400 initial VT minus dead space is less than 400 for an adult?!?.

👏👏🇵🇭

IBW = 50kg + 2kg per inch over 5 feet 5’4” 50 + 8 = 58kg IBW

In the new 2020 Lindsey Jones they're saying that female is 45.5 kg+(2.3*(height(n)-60)) Can you show me how to solve this 4'11

Hi dear! Can we use this formula RR X Vt X 6 for flow

Sorry, I can't understand why so much initial precision, even requiring a calculator to obtain a value with decimals, if you end up multiplying by 6 or 8 to get the final value. This last calculation grossly modifies the previously obtained values.

Can you please make video on ventilators modes.

What if person is less than 5 feet.

What if he’s 6ft?

Unfortunately in Saudi Arabia we use cm for hight so this video wasn’t useful but thank you anyway

😭😭😭😭😭😭
