Awesome breakdown! I like the start of the series and to begin things off with some physiology to get everyone talking the same language to build up for future lessons. Can't wait to hear the rest. ETCo2 is a great tool and important for people to understand.

Paramedic here. This was Excellent

You are such a blessing. Thank you!!! I Love your passion. I was never instructed in this much depth and detail in school. I have been a therapist for 10 yrs and because of you, I can now be the therapist I always wanted to be. We need more of you!!!! Blessings

This vital sign needs to be taught in nursing school. Wasn't even briefly mentioned in my program.

Before I found this ETCO2 videos I was about to ask you to make a video this subject. I watched all the videos and you covered all the areas that I needed. Thank you 🙏

Former RT here... Let's just say "physician agrees". Great job!

Don’t forget about us in paramedic school! This is a great tool for our mobile hospital

Thank you for these! Such a nice simple breakdown. I’m an ER nurse and these are so helpful for understand basic biological functions and why pts present to the ER the way they do!

Five months ago, You answered a question I had about ETCO@. And it meant a lot. We use Sidestream, and had problems with condensation. Believe me! Condensation getting into the module is not fun to get out. Now we're getting Mainstream ETCO2 for our Trilogy EVO ventilator. It's going to be a Capnostat Mainstream ETCO2 system, and from what I've been told, condensation effects these mainstream modules even worse than Sidestream, so I'm not sure what to expect. The Capnostat will plug into the USB port on the Trilogy EVO, via a USB adapter and It'll connect to the patient's trach tube. I'm not sure what to expect about condensation, or any of that. We're use to the sampling going from the airway, to the module, where there's a vacuum pump, and you feel a tiny bit of vibration from the pump. Now, we're going to have to learn what to expect with mainstream.

All the love from Romania, coach

Thanks for breaking everything down brother man ✊🏾, Therapist from the East coast

may this great person live long , sir i have learned lot of things from your videos , thank you very much , iam from srilanka

Thank you sir! I really appreciate you and the lectures you post. Helps me a lot. I just started my ICU orientation and these videos help.

beautiful content

We are using it at the hospital where I work.

This is so helpful... THank you so much

thank you sir..im from hyd...

Love the way you breakdown the concept 👌

Thank you sir, you’re a beast. I’m a new RRT and needed to brush up on some things. Much appreciated!

Great video, on your next video I think you should mention the normal value for End title CO2 which is 35 to 45, thank you Joe

GOLD!

this video is GOLD

Love the video! Thank you for always sharing your knowledge

Thank you

Thank you so much it is clear and beautiful explanation

Good video.

Thank you. Test tomorrow includes ETCO2

Thank you for these videos. I don't understand why hyperventilation is a problem. Essentially, my understanding is the cells produce the CO2 as waste, then it goes through the process you draw above and the lungs exchange the CO2 for O2. You want to get rid off all (within reason) the CO2 in your body, why would your body care if the lungs are getting rid of the CO2 very quickly?

Excellent Video. I'm not sure I understand why cardiac output decreasing decreases etco2. Wouldn't co2 build up in the blood and get higher?

Excellent coach..:)

I have a question. We use a CO2 module, for a CMS 8000 patient monitor, but we're having issues with the patient's on humidity through the ventilator. What can we do to stop the humidification from getting in the sense line of the etco2 adapter, and then getting into that module? So that we can monitor CO2 continuously through the Endotracheal/Tracheostomy patient? We really need some assistance!

Great video! Could you explain why hypoventilation increases ETco2? Or it increases ETco2/Vt ratio ?

amazing thank you sir 👍🏻

Would you mind please explain to me the effect of C02 on blood pressure? You mention that C02 causes vasodilation, which decreases your BP as well as your CO, but I thought that Hypercapnic patients with excessive C02 causes systemic vasodilation and not vasoconstriction, and it’s the opposite in the pulmonary circulation

Can you discuss the hfov please?

Solid stuff! Do you think measuring etCO2 in aerobic athletes can be of value?

I have one doubt. When etCO2 increaes/decreases, how will you diagnose whether problem is in ventilation or metabolic or circulation ?

RT for 7 months here. Just reviewing.

I believe you got CO cardiac output confused with CO2

I've personally found it to have limited utility due to dead space. So often it gets misused/ misinterpreted and just confuses a situation. I think the real future is Volumetric Capnography to monitor pulmonary dead space.

I love your videos as usual. I feel like now you are giving way too long of an intro. Thanks for the video.

Thank you
