Mechanics of Breathing EXPLAINED!

In this lesson, leading into a new series talking about chest tubes, we need to first discuss the mechanics behind how our breathing works. Having this foundational understanding of how inspiration and expiration works and the mechanics at work that make it possible will help concepts in future lessons to make more sense.

I know this might be a CRAZY request but I was wondering if you could create a book about all your videos and everything you teach in them? That would be like...AMAZING and super helpful! ❤ I've used your videos for my senior semester of nursing school which was all about critical care and now I'm reviewing content for my new position in the ICU!

Hi Eddie, can you please explain how does the pressure works with mechanical ventilation. Thanks

[lukegentzke]

Hi Eddie, great video. I watched this video and the video regarding respiratory anatomy together to direct my attention to airway management as I will be shadowing a CRNA next week. I look forward to the video on chest tubes upcoming. I work on a IMCU surgical floor and many of our patients have chest tubes inserted intraoperatively.
