Hey I used to watch your travel videos before I started nursing school about 2 years ago. Now I'm a few weeks away from the end, thank goodness! Anyways, I'm reviewing content and stumbled upon this video, I see you are branching out a bit and doing different content than I remember, so good for you! Personally, I don't connect to videos where the speaker is just reading what we see on screen. I'd love it if you could elaborate, maybe it would be easier to follow along with? Good luck with your channel! Edit: I thought I'd mention that travel channels like yours REALLY motivated me to start nursing school and stay motivated to finish! I can't thank you enough for showing me what it was like to be able to do what you do! Happy Nurse's Week, and Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
Thank you for the kind and humbling feedback Grabbearjet ☺️💜 You are correct that I used to do a lot of travel nurse videos and helpful hints when my channel was first getting started. I still plan to do these videos again but I received a lot of requests after creating my ATI TEAS Videos to help with NCLEX and Certification Exams so I switched gears temporarily. ☺️ I really do appreciate the helpful feedback for my future videos. As my channel continues to grow, I plan to step outside of the education realm eventually and get back in travel/nurse burnout series. Please stay in touch as I would love to hear how you are doing and I can't wait to hear about all the traveling you have planned in your future. Travel Nurse really is a great way to get paid and travel at the same time ☺️💜
I always advise the following information is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice: Volume depletion, often termed "hypovolemia," refers to a decrease in the volume of blood plasma, which is the liquid component of blood. This reduction can be due to a loss of both water and electrolytes from the body. Here's how volume depletion fits into the broader picture: Causes: Water and electrolyte loss: Conditions such as diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, diuretic medications (which increase urine output), and certain kidney diseases can result in a significant loss of water and electrolytes. Hemorrhage: Blood loss from trauma, surgery, or conditions like gastrointestinal bleeding can cause hypovolemia. Third-space fluid shifts: Sometimes, fluids move from the vascular space (blood vessels) into another area (e.g., with burns or pancreatitis, fluid can accumulate in the interstitial spaces or in the abdominal cavity). Effects: Decreased blood pressure: Blood volume directly affects blood pressure. When volume decreases, blood pressure can drop, potentially leading to shock. Reduced organ perfusion: With less blood circulating, organs may not receive the oxygen and nutrients they need, leading to potential organ failure. Compensatory mechanisms: The body will try to compensate for volume loss. The heart rate may increase (tachycardia), and the body may divert blood away from less vital organs to maintain perfusion to critical ones like the brain and heart. It's essential to differentiate between volume depletion and dehydration. While volume depletion refers to a reduction in blood plasma volume due to a loss of both water and electrolytes, dehydration specifically refers to a loss of water, leading to increased blood osmolality (concentration). Both conditions can overlap, but the treatments and implications can differ.
@@NurseCheung thank you for this thorough explanation. Clears up a lot. Why are some articles I read saying isotonic dehydration is both water and electrolyte loss?
SIBO and leaky gut are conditions related to the gastrointestinal tract, and their main effects are related to digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and abdominal pain. Fluid volume deficit and dehydration are more commonly associated with these conditions as they can cause increased fluid loss through diarrhea and vomiting. If you are experiencing symptoms of fluid retention, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

My pleasure lucelly arenas 😊💜 I am humbled that you found my videos helpful
This was very helpful! Thank you!
I am so glad this was helpful HeyIt'sArie ☺️💜
Where does volume depletion (of water + electrolytes) fits into this?
I always advise the following information is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice: Volume depletion, often termed "hypovolemia," refers to a decrease in the volume of blood plasma, which is the liquid component of blood.

can sibo & leaky gut cause
fluid / edema Retention!!??
