Dr. Roger Seheult, explanations are even better than kaplan/uworld lectures. I finished my boards and now am reviewing concepts for residency with you.
AMAZING!!!!

[shirleydavis]

I'm a Critical Care Nurse this is a Godsend. Thanks

[sajivarghese]

I am a surgeon practising since 16 yrs in a tertiary care set up. For once I have started understanding Mechanical ventilation. Previous attempts to understand it was too confusing. Awesome way of explaining. Fantastic Dr Seheult. I will recommend it for my post graduate students

Im a non-practicing RT for almost a decade as i am a sleep technologist for awhile and i find this very helpful with my upcoming RT board. Thanks for this great video lecture.

NO, this isn't 'a good basic introduction' but an excellent set of lectures that will help anyone with a good idea of the pathophysiology of diseases needing assisted ventilation as part of their treatment. Recently started my rotations in the ICU of a German hospital, and found that I was not as spontaneous and flexible with mechanical ventilation as I would have wanted. These 5 videos have totally cleared the air. Now I can't wait to get to work tomorrow... Woooohooo!! Thank you, your videos are world class!

[ZeeshanAhmed-uqcf]

very useful videos. I am a surgery resident in India.this is the best vent lecture I 've come across

[kristenknott]

Currently studying for my CCRN exam (CVICU nurse) and this series was SO helpful! Wish I would've watched these a year ago when I started in the ICU. Thank you so much!!

[Gloria-ojgp]

I'm studying for the CRNA recert exam, came across these, and have found them pretty helpful. Some presenters seem to be "into" making this material very complicated, your presentation approach/style makes it sound just all pretty logical and straightforward. The presentations are in nice little chunks of time, and, being a visual learner, I like your use of color. The diagrams start out very basic, and more layers are added, so the interconnectedness of it all is easier to appreciate.

Dear Dr Seheult, I'm training on line as covid19 leads to expansion of the role of the neurologist...this is marvelously clear, Thank you

[jbartos]

Great update for someone out of the ICU for 15 years.

[jerseyreddevil]

Thank-you so much for these videos! As an ER nurse, I have become dependent on my Respiratory Therapists to deal with our intubated pt's. When I would ask them about what and why they were making changes, my eyes would glaze over & I could almost feel the drool pooling. Your videos have given me a much cleared understanding. Again I thank you!

[donnabailey]

seasoned nurse who is looking going back to ICU, great, easy to follow and brush up knowledge. TY

[Lashana]

Before I review for my state boards, I wanted to go back and review basic info. I found your channel and its been very helpful. Thanks!

[F_Raptors]

very easy to understand. I learned more from these videos than from my professors. Thanks.

[khatgib]

Excellent series on mechanical ventilation. I just watched them all. I have been a respiratory therapist for many years, but I still felt some basics were missing. Also, I am about to take my registry exam and needed to brush up on some things. Before making any requests, I will look at other videos you have already posted. Thanks so much.

U R THE MASTER OF VENTILATION TEACHING JOB

[suveertatineni]

Great series. Very good job. Watching this 2-3x will get you pretty comfortable with understanding a vent.

[malinkarlsson]

A million times thank you! You have helped me understand a million times faster then anybody could have done in my ICU studies.

[mariaanaduque]

thank you....this video and all your other videos on mech. vent. are super helpful for an RN like me who is new in ICU. They are so easy to understand...

[nancycarnes]

Thank you. I've recently acquired a SCU job in a small hospital and shamefully I have always counted on respiratory people to take care of all the problems. Now, I'm responsible. Although I am clearly not an expert, I do feel a little better with your education.
