I always give you a thumbs up before watching your videos because I know you always put good stuff out there.

Just finished the video took away a lot of gems for what to keep in mind, especially as I start clinicals in February. Thanks again to both of you!!

This is a really awesome video, I'm one semester away from graduation as an RT and this dialog certainly had so many take aways to be mindful of and to keep in prospective. Thank you so much for continuing to strengthen the RT community and truly all Healthcare relation amongst one another.

35:00 marker when the question rose “you find more passion in teaching” your answer made this whole video worth watching. I wish there were more teacher out there who are genuine like that. So from a student perspective- THANK YOU. I got 4 more months to go 😊

Thank you so much! Fantastic insight into the relationships and interaction between the different disciplines. Going into last semester with ICU the first rotation and I’m trying to get mentally prepared. Every bit of information is so helpful so thank you very much for your time and support. Excellent as always!

We use dragers and the P0.1 is prob my favorite weaning parameter i do. Hardly anyone knows about it but it can tell you so much about the patients neuro drive.

Wow excited to see this. First year student here thanks for your time and effort!

[hawasisay]

Thank you Brianna for your advice, I'm guilty of some the things you conveyed.

Hi, my first time watching your video's and I do value all the information that you've shared ! I do have a question, I'm in my first year and I need a walk through of dosing calculations. If you could make a video specifically help out with calculating solution mixtures and dosing calculations I and the students in school now and to come will appreciate the help you provide. Thanks!

First of all
A huge thanks to you for everything you're learning us
If I may ask
If I have a covid-19 patient on BiPAP
7/17 with fio2=100%
And he's getting better.. Should I make the PEEP lower first? Or the Fio2? And why?
Thanks in advance

Can you do a video based solely on hemodynamics and also on PFTS

Unfortunately in Alabama the nurse practitioner is often an adversary to the respiratory therapist for some reason they do not want to work with the rrts they want to boss and overrule and absolutely ignore everything that you say concerning ventilator management this has been my experience for several years now and it is not every nurse practitioner but it is a large majority it is a crime and absolute crime to ignore someone's expertise simply because the hospital has chosen to allow nurse practitioners carte blanche to overrule everyone except the physician it's become a game of politics in north Alabama and that is a shame because patients suffer I think the role of the nurse practitioner is an excellent one if it's performed correctly it should not be an adversarial relationship with the respiratory therapist best of luck to you and I'm sorry for my pessimism however The NPS have caused this and virtually every therapist I know in north Alabama feels the same

Am I wrong for thinking the "presence" thing was a little self centered? Comes off a little "I want them to be there for MY patients, I tolerate them being there for the other patients", meanwhile we have a 15 bed ICU, a head/chest CT for 3 of them, Q4 vent checks, Q2/4 nebs, SBT's, ABG's for everyone on the vent (only maybe half to 1/3 have an A-Line), new admits coming from the ER, nightly pre-use check for the vents, 2 of the patients coded already and our supervisor is of little to no help because they're stuck helping PICU/NICU.
Am I off base here? Too cynical? I want to think she would understand :/

18:00 How unfortunate that such potentially important contributions to patient care from experienced respiratory therapists may go unheard and unincorporated; shrouded behind awe of rank and the discrimination against kinesthetic and experiential learning in the presence of “higher degrees” and grand egos. It’s the patient that stands the most to loose in their care, not only the RT and their opportunity to fulfill their role and underlying intrinsic motivation to contribute. RT’s don’t necessarily gain “higher degrees” or notoriety as they progress in their career. Just because the marks of “higher” knowledge are not present as others may be accustomed to viewing them doesn’t mean the know how isn’t there.
