I'm an orientee and my preceptors are absolutely useless. 7 weeks in and I feel like I've learned nothing from them. You give me that golden information I needed to learn to properly assess my patients. I tip my hat to you, madame.

Hi, thank you for a great informative video! If the subcutaneous emphysema is small but is a new finding, would you say that the MD needs to be notified right away?

[@gaillupica9187]

No, but next time there's rounds.

[@punjaban408]

Thank youuuu!!!!

[@user-hu1ss5uq5s]

Hello! Thanks for this good video.
I want to ask the reason of tidaling.
normal paitient(without pneumothorax) does not show tidaling but pneumothorax patient do, doesn't it?
I want to know the difference. can you tell me?

[@gaillupica9187]

Everyone would tidal. WE just don't see non-pneumo patients that have a chest tube.

[@user-hu1ss5uq5s]

@@gaillupica9187
In our hospital, use pigtail for pleural effusion drainage.
And through that, only pneumothorax pt show oscillation.
I want to figure it out, but hard;;

[@aracucueco9495]

Hi! Thanks so much for the lecture. Just wanna ask how does subcutaneous emphysema feel like? Is that the crepitus? Wondering how does crepitus feel like on pt with chest tubes? Thank you so much

[@gaillupica9187]

Yes, it's crepitus. It feel like a combination of skin with rice krispies underneath.

[@labellemoilabellemoi3005]

sweet thanks

[@ihcnursing7528]

Magnificent!

[@alyssonsenica7848]

Please add some more content on management of cancer side effects

[@AnnaAnna-ch5ww]

Omg what a beautiful and articulate woman !

[@akeigwin4]

what keeps the water in the water seal from being sucked up?

[@gaillupica9187]

It's too heavy. Heavier than air so that's how it can provide that water seal, as long as the "straw" is underneath the water seal line and therefore a closed system is maintained.

[@dixiep33]

Have you ever known people to have chest drains placed in the middle of the torso near the diaphragm?

[@marysiakruczek889]

I like your cross:)

[@simrangill4195]

I love u mom
