Respiratory Failure EXPLAINED!

Being able to closely monitor patients is a staple of critical care and one thing we constantly do is monitor our patients breathing. Managing respiratory failure is something that you will do all the time. In this lesson I talk about what exactly respiratory failure is and how we classify it based on Type 1 Hypoxemic and Type 2 Hypercapnic, as well as covering the many different causes within 4 major groups from impaired ventilation (hypoventilation), impaired gas exchange, airway obstruction, and ventilation perfusion mismatch. From there we review over the signs and symptoms for patients in respiratory failure as well as the different diagnostic tests we can see. Finally I cover some of our principals of management for these patients and things you could expect to see and do.

I was literally searching "Respiratory Failure ICU Advantage" just last week since I like to supplement all my university topics with your videos since they're actually engaging. If I'm going to be forced to do my degree online, I'm going to focus my time on people who understand how to properly deliver educational content via video; I cannot say that of my lecturers.
