Respiratory Failure | Clinical Medicine

Ninja Nerds!
Professor Zach Murphy will be presenting on Respiratory Failure. We will be going into detail on the following main objectives:

1. Definition and Types of Respiratory Failure
- Acquire a solid understanding of what constitutes respiratory failure.
- Differentiate between Type I (Hypoxemic) and Type II (Hypercapnic) respiratory failure, along with the understanding of 'acute-on-chronic' respiratory failure.

2. Pathophysiology: Hypoxemic vs Hypercapnic
- Gain insight into the underlying physiological processes that lead to hypoxemia and hypercapnia.
- Learn about key concepts such as ventilation-perfusion mismatch, diffusion limitations, and impaired gas exchange.

3. Key Clinical Manifestations
- Recognize respiratory failure’s early signs and symptoms to facilitate prompt diagnosis and treatment.
- Discuss common findings on physical examination, including vital signs and lung auscultation.

4. Diagnostic Criteria and Tools
- Familiarize yourself with the diagnostic criteria based on the latest clinical guidelines.
- Understand the roles of arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis, chest radiography, and other diagnostic tools.

5. Evidence-Based Management Strategies
- Gain a thorough understanding of current, evidence-based management techniques, from supplemental oxygen therapy to advanced mechanical ventilation.
- Discuss the use of pharmacological interventions, including bronchodilators and corticosteroids.

You taught me what my professor tried to in 2 weeks in 30 minutes!!! Great video

[manar]

I was planning to study pulmongy today, surprised to see you uploading videos at the same day :D

[ranahassan]

Could you include the clinical picture the next time, please?

[mohamed]

Amazing explanation and work 🔥🔥🔥. And there is additional important note, in the management of patients with severe chronic COPD who have type II respiratory failure, they develop abnormal tolerance to raised PaCO 2 and may become dependent on hypoxic drive to breathe. In these patients only, lower concentrations of oxygen (24–28% by Venturi mask) should be used to avoid precipitating worsening respiratory depression .

[medicalentrancenepal]

thank u so much for this amazing lecture

[Natalia-RN]

good. The Most important stuff in most digestible way. Thank u❤

[basmalakhaled]

Thank you for the great explanation. I like the new lectures but I wish you have kept the old lectures up. These new lectures are super useful and to the point but I appretiated the old lectures in which you spent more time on explaining the basic concepts. I wish you republish them.

I have been diagnosed with this. I'm on 4 liters of oxygen a minute. I have major back & neck problems. I also have diabetes as well. I breath to shallow I've been told many times. I also have asthma & COPD. Actually mine is chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia. Also right now I've got a Viral upper respiratory infection ontop of it.

[toughnotcher]

Now, I understand. Well explained. So much help. Thank you!!!

[amanueltadesse]

thanks for your fascinating lectures that attract me and keep my focus

[ammara]

Thankyou so much for such an amazing way of teaching.. love from Pakistan

[arshiashiri]

Hi ninja nerd, thank you for your great lecture! Please make a Rheumatology section.

[ananiyaalemu]

Hello, first i would like to thank you for your super useful videos, and i would like to ask why Asthma and COPD isn't under V/Q mismatch?

[skipinkoreaable]

Amazing video. This really, really helps understand the topic.

[ywsikqx]

I amm soooo happpyyy🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you guys

[mashaelalmozher]

Wow it’s great perfect simple clear explanation, thank u doctor . I have seen the privous videos and I really notice great improvement in the explanation continue doing that 👍🏻❤

[AkbotaZhailkhan]

why is paCO2 normal in conditions other than hypoventilation? I understand that increase minute ventilation helps with it; but shouldn't it then increase paO2 too?

[mariakara]

haha this is my lecture for this morning after like an hour😂thnx u so much u are the best.

[tejaswini]

Thank you for posting about clinical medicine 🥲🥺
