    As a fellow Nurse Educator I often look for resources for my student to hear from an alternate source other than me. This was a very nice concise overview of this very complex topic. Thank you.

    In addition to my full-time job, I teach nursing clinical students in ICU. I show this and your ventilator lectures to the students before they ever set foot in a patient's room in ICU. Your concise descriptions are just terrific! Thank you.

    I came across your videos because I am now a nursing instructor looking for more information and how to present some material. Couldn't believe it when I realized you were my nursing instructor at Touro over 10 years ago. So glad to see you making these videos. Its helping me refresh on some material. Thanks Gail!

I spent the whole day reading about this in my nursing textbook and then I find your video and everything I was trying to pull together that didn't make sense before just clicked after watching your videos! I am so lucky to have found your videos! :)

    Having survived an ARDS diagnosis, I hope someone might benefit from my experience.
    Having caught my daughter's common cold, and after having spent a night welding in a poorly ventilated area, I went to the local ER, where I was diagnosed with double pneumonia. Several days later (and feeling fine), I was to be discharged the following morning. Unfortunately, the following morning for me was 5 mornings later, as I awakened (intubated - tubes in) in ICU, and from a medically induced coma, with my wife having been told I had a 50/50 chance of survival, while I was unconscious. Learning the following later that day (after extubation - tubes out), I'd apparently only met 5 of the 6 points of criteria for doing so, but from what I'd learned from my medical records, a Fentanyl patch was placed on my shoulder the night of my respiratory failure. I am not disparaging the use of such medications (I'm a multi-level spinal fusion patient, and they are incredible medications), and had a similar bout with post surgery morphine (oxy sats down to 73), so I'm more sensitive to some forms of opiates/oids.
    My wife was informed I'd had ARDS (total white-out), and that there was a good chance I might require months of hospitalization. I was in absolutely miserable shape. Natural athlete, rugged biker type me felt as though I were Superman with a bar of Kryptonite on my chest. For days, my sister spoon-fed me peas, and it took me nearly 30 seconds to grasp a small cup of water, sip, and return the cup to the stand.
    After 4 days, they sent me to a different observation unit, where little changed, UNTIL this great nurse accidentally saved my life, or at least months of hospitalization. What changed? She was the very first staff member to have me sit up from the standard 30 degree bed angle, actually leaning slightly forward (to check my lungs from the back), which was just enough to prompt a slight cough, which I hadn't had the strength to muster in nearly a week. My cough became a bit more productive over the next minute, when I asked if she could walk extremely weak me to a visitor's chair within my room, and asked to bring me boxes of Kleenex. Still leaning forward, I continued to cough up more and more fluid. After 45 minutes, I was feeling significant improvement, and after another 45 minutes of bringing up the last of the fluid, my lungs felt incredible. Over the course of 90 minutes of continued coughing, my strength was back, I was walking freely through the unit, and was later that night transferred to a room on the main floor of the hospital.
    As one who's no stranger to surgeries and hospitalizations (also a psych hospital tech for a decade), I'd had two (separate) room-mates, both of which had room-clearing uninary, then multi bowel episodes, which led me to essentially insist on my discharge from the hospital (which was appreciatively granted the next day), as the possibility of further infections/complications were of great concern to me, particularly after all I'd already been through.
    In closing, my experience is clearly mine, and ARDS may have been a misdiagnosis for all I know. I was age 50 at the time (actually in coma during my 50th birthday), a smoker, in better than average physical shape, and very determined to live.
    I'm well aware I'm not a doctor, and my story is not intended as medical advice, but if I ever come down with pneumonia again, I won't be taking it lying down! (productive humor) :)

    I got ards due to sepsis. Xrays showed my lungs completely whited out. I guess I was unconscous because I awoke in the ICU, and couldn't catch my breath no matter how big a breath I took. I didn't know what happened to me, but all I could think to do was to use controlled breathing. It was really hard to control how much breath I was taking in, and to control my exhales, but I struggled like hell to maintain that control. After a few minutes I began to feel less anxious -as I began to feel like I was actually getting oxygen. After 20 minutes or so, I no longer felt like a fish out of water. I was actually getting oxygen with each breath I took. The pulmenary doctor came into my room with my xray in hand and prepared to have me ventilated. He couldn't believe his eyes when looked up at the monitor and saw that my oxygen was at 85%. He told me that it was nothing short of a miracle, that I had the worst case of ARD's that he'd ever seen. After that, I was given tons of diaretics to rid my body of fluids, I guess to treat the ARD's? I never did have to be put on a ventilator, but it did take 6 weeks in the ICU of recovery time. Hats off to the ICU nurses, they were the best!

      when hyperventilate you exhale too much co2 which leads to respiratory alkalosis

    • @SpeedBead
      @SpeedBead Před 6 lety

      Alkalosis is correct. When you start to hyperventilate, you breathe off CO2, which is acidic. Less acid= alkalosis

      @gaillupica9187  Před 4 lety

      Respiratory therapy has overall pressure guidelines but ultimately the choices are very individualized based on patient's severity of disease and risk factors for barotrauma. The goal is to provide "optimal" oxygenation without inducing barotrauma. So, that optimal is the challenge for the HC team
