This professor is the number one online.

This is a golden gem of what we were taught as Have-Have-Want-Want:
(Have CO2) (Have RR) = (Want CO2) (Want RR) Put in 'x' to solve for what you will change on vent! But it never occurred to be to also do with Ve! So AWESOME!
Thanks Coach!

[@jimzavala2522]

Thank you for all your videos man you really ROCK!!! I wish I had you as an instructor.

Thanks

“go be great” 💪🏽Yes Coach

[@endofanage223]

You just don't how valuable this information is especially when the schools don't put a lot of emphasis on these formulas! Thank you so much. So if you had a patient with severe ARDS would these same formulas work correctly? Even for the video you did on oxygenation?

[@RespiratoryCoach]

You are very welcome. Without rewatching the video, I would say yes, disease process doesn't typically alter the validity of the formula.

The best teacher!

[@RespiratoryCoach]

You're too kind! Thanks, Tania, for your comment and for watching!

THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING VIDEO SIR. Watching from Philippines.

[@kylereece6761]

Thankyou so so much!! This is great!

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Anytime, Kyle! Thanks for watching.

Very helpful videos.
Appreciate your efforts in making things easier to understand.
I want to know how these formulas apply to pressure control mode of ventilation?

[@RespiratoryCoach]

They do, you just have to understand that in PC your TV is not set and will vary based on RAW, static compliance, and patient synchrony. If your TV is fairly regular, then yes, you can make pressure changes...which will effect TV...which will effect Ve...which will effect Co2...which will effect pH. Just know that this will vary in PC. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

Tnq...sir ...How to change PC-AC
..... decrease pco2.......

[@abrarmeftah8207]

Very helpful video, thank you so much

[@RespiratoryCoach]

You're welcome. Thank you for watching!!!

[@warunakumara7671]

great explanation sir , thank for the lecture sir , if you can sir please do a seperate video about pao2, bicarbonate and ph with formulas .

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Thanks, Waruna! Got it on the list!

[@naveenchenna1338]

U r great bro tqq

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Thanks for watching!

[@calxxx]

How do you derive the value for your desired Co2? Glad I stumbled upon your channel sir
Also, can you recommend a good reference for learning these? Thank u!

[@michaellaviola3125]

Thank you sir, quick question if the patient has a high co2, but the pH is in range, should you leave the vent settings as is, since the pH is still in range.

[@magedali4081]

Regarding RR
Do u take the set rate or actual frequency including what's triggered by patient?

[@kiranshahmohammad-ht7hs]

What about pc if pt is on pc mode

[@RespiratoryCoach]

If in PC the same rules apply. Adjust pressure to get tidal volume into appropriate range first, then consider adjusting rate. Thanks for watching and commenting with a great question.

[@tani361]

But these formulas works only when patient is fully sedated and relax

[@RespiratoryCoach]

This is a true statement! Thanks for commenting and watching.

[@Vancouversour]

How long does this formula typically take to work? If I change my rate from 14 to 16 to achieve a lower CO2, when will the gas correct? An hour? Thanks

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Depends on the severity of the abnormality, but typically CO2 responds quickly to changes in minute ventilation. An etco2 would reveal changes immediately and perhaps stabilize within 15-30 minutes. Again though, this is dependent upon various factors.
