EM made simple, finally

[@MedicalTraining]

Thank you for the comment. Really appreciate it

[@ruzaikrafeek1663]

@@MedicalTraining always there is a simple basic/explanation behind a complex observation in EM we need to surface and catch-up,

[@MedicalTraining]

Absolutely, that's exactly what I'm trying to do

[@WeiShih]

Thanks for simplifying the concept. It is really helpful!

[@MedicalTraining]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Pro0osh]

As a medical student, I really think your explanation is much better than many of my professors

[@MedicalTraining]

I really appreciate it. Thanks

[@garethduffy3083]

You made that so simple and have really helped my visual learning of the topic thank you

Thank you for this… helpful. Can you talk about PEEP and water circuit in details please???

[@soulsearch1234]

Try ICU ADVANTAGE as well

[@gavinschack1411]

I’m sorry but I believe when your ETCO2 number is low (or below 35) the patient is breathing rapidly and breathing off too much carbon dioxide, therefore not retaining enough CO2 for adequate gas exchange and making the PH more alkaloidic. Where as when a person is breathing to slow the ETCO2 number is elevated above 45 due to Co2 retention making the PH more acidic. In the case of cardiac arrest there is no gas exchange occurring so the ETCO2 number will be low until you have a definite advanced airway placed which frees up all the carbon dioxide sitting in the lung tissue, you get a sudden spike of Co2 and then it lowers again due to no gas exchange. Just kinda confused, you seemed to say the opposite. Just wondering.

[@MedicalTraining]

I appreciate the comment.
If a person is in shock, their etco2 will drop. Because blood won't be able to effectively carry co2 to the lungs due to low pressures.
If a person is in cardiac arrest and you place an advanced airway, the etco2 won't increase. Because it doesn't increase perfusion or more the co2 building up in the muscles.
I hope this helps? Did I understand the question?

[@ayamikage1]

You confuse end tidal CO2 with PCO2 in ABG. End tidal CO2 is the CO2 we exhale. PCO2 is the CO2 content in arterial blood for ABG or venous blood in VBG.

[@MedicalTraining]

Yes I agree, I think that's what I said. What excellent did I say that was wrong?

sir thank you for the video can you please do a video about how to interpret pulseoximetry wave form , IBP wave form , Icp wave form , Cvp wave form , eeg wave form , ecg wave form , ............etc , thank you sir

[@MedicalTraining]

Absolutely, thanks for the topic ideas. I've done a lot on ECGs.

[@ruzaikrafeek1663]

ScV O2/ EM monitoring critical, differencial , data points etc

[@shahinashahid7794]

Can you please let me know what is the normal exhaled co2 concentration in human breath in ppm
And for diabetic patients also

[@MedicalTraining]

I'm really not sure. Diabetic or not it won't change the reading unless they are sick.

[@titusdaniel]

I listened to the first 5 seconds about 6 times because it sounds like you're saying "entitled co2." When I first started class I was sure that's what everyone was saying, until I saw it written down and had the realization that it's "end-tidal co2." I hope I'm not the only one lol

[@MedicalTraining]

Absolutely possible, I think I say it so often and quick it sounds like that. It is ETCo2. It's also refering to the end of phase 2, (expiration) as that's where the reading (the number) it taken.

[@shahinashahid7794]

For diabetic patients exhaled co2 concentration is decreasing?

[@jaystannard]

If you spent about 20m a night

[@MedicalTraining]

Wow, thanks for that!
Very possible, your etco2 may also drop during sleep. How are you measuring that?
Measuring your co2 in the blood is not possible without being at hospital
