As someone with an interest in internal medicine but also a bit nervous about facing emergencies, your videos have been incredibly helpful in calming my nerves. I appreciate your clear and concise explanations of your thought process, which are really getting me excited for clinical year. My classmates and I are huge fans of your videos. Your channel definitely deserves more view.

I’ve seen a lot of medicine content on YouTube and I find yours to be the most informative and practical. Even more so than Dr. Strong

Saw my first code yesterday. This has really has given me the confidence to ask my attending if I can run the next one! Thank you

[debigdogk]

Thanks Conan you’ve made it interesting and simple to understand. My first experience of leading the code was really scarily too but after the first baptising of fire you get use to it.

I appreciate this video! However, you should not stop CPR during the 2minutes to check a pulse/rhythm or to intubate. Those are to be done between rounds of CPR. And you should not stop compressions for >10seconds. High quality CPR is what is essential to ACLS.

Please do a video on interpretation of blood gas!

Two beefs:

1. Only 2 doses of amio are indicated. Not indefinitely alternating with epi.

2. Vasopressin was nixed from the algorithm a while ago. Only considered in the presence of an Acei.

[YousafKhan-wygq]

Hey man...thanks for this. Do you guys also intubate by 3-4th round or is that kind of institution dependent?...also if possible, a video on how to approach rapids.TY!

[tiffanytran]

Do you have any video on checklist or prepping for intubation?

[oceansky]

Is the vasopressin, magS04 push or IVPBag?

[KennethNordin]

Why do you call adrenaline for epinephrine is US!?
