I think that ALL respiratory therapy staff members that work in ICU, should be made to watch this video at LEAST twice a year and pass a quiz following the video. Should be MANDATORY. This guy is GOOD!
not only did you explain the concepts in a way that i could understand but your voice is perfect to give lectures, talks, etc! Thank you for posting this vid!!!
In same boat as Kimberly - RN whose previous explanations have fallen way short of the helpful knowledge imparted by this presentation. Excellent presentation!! 10/10.
i just want to say i am a ICU nursing grad and i have struggled to understand Vents i want you to know that you have given me a light bulb moment and delivered this in a way that has truely helped me. so thank you ever so much!!!!
Pharmacy resident here, this was by far the best intro to vent setting and complications i seen, better than the RT that taught us. From a pharmacological standpoint, factors that decrease Cardiac Output such as tidal volume, RR, and peep at the higher end can result in altered pharmacological effect by high E drug that are flow dependent, including phenytoin.
I usually never leave comments on lectures on you tube but I am so grateful at your explanations I am really lost for words. This has made understanding ventilators so easy Thanks you sooooo much. .
Thank you for uploading!! I'm a respiratory therapy student and I've always struggled with school work since the beginning of highschool due to needing a more detailed explanation that I felt was hard to get. This video is absolutely wonderful!! Ventilators are so complicated and I just started learning about it in school so this video is helping me a lot!! Thank you!!
I am a critical care transport nurse and I LOVED this video! I was looking for more *gems* to help me manage my patients, as I'm the only one in the back of the rig and I want to learn more about ventilation. Thanks for taking the time for this. Great job on this!
Thank you, so much. I needed this tutorial...everyone is moving so fast in hospital nobody has time to explain anything. No matter if it is the ED or ICU... healthcare is fast moving.
man what an amazing teacher this man is. I have trouble focusing but the way this man teaches had me interested and focused all the way through. Thank you for this.
This has been so helpful! I am on an ICU placement at the minute and I am finding all of the ventilators and other machines very difficult to understand. You're explanations were very clear and thorough - many thanks for sharing!
Im a respiratory student online and I felt like I was in class, really thanks so much. I'm on mechanical ventilations and you teach it so simple, thanks seriously, I understand it so much better!
Atiya Powell I have had you in several of my classes! IU right? I'm in my last class...2 weeks before graduation...needed a review before the big test! This is definitely helpful. I wish you the best!
By far, the best video on youtube to learn basics about mechanical ventilation. You are a natural teacher !! Keep up the good work. More power to you !!
People that "dislike" videos like this with so much great information and clear explanation, should at least be brave enough to state the reasons for their dislike in the comments section.
New ICU RN...Wow! This is awesome...Thank you for taking time to explain this to me in such a simple way that I might be able to share it with patients families and other new nurses.
awesome - its all essentially quite simple but there arent many people who can keep their explanations simple and logical. thanks. you are a good teacher!
I have been searching topic on mechanical vent. for 3-4 days but didn't get satisfied.. But after watching dis I got impressed and yuppp now I can say DAT its not more complicated... Thnx a lot👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I can't say THANK YOU Enough!!! seriously.... you made what it looked like a very complicated lecture (on paper) very straight forward and understandable. Thank you for taking the time!
Thank you very much! I'm in a respiratory program and was having trouble understanding a couple principles and you really clarified them. Thanks so much!
Hi, This class is so good that a graduate medical student can understand about mechanical ventilation. This class really helps and reinforces my knowledge during intervention of ventilator along with ABG correlation. Hope u will continue further.
Nursing student here; wow, what an amazing presentation. I learned so much. I am very interested in intubating and vent settings even though most HCF do not allow RN's these privileges. It is still good to know about it. :) Thank you, again!
Thanks Bill,Your knowledge of the subject matter is excellent. I don't know which I enjoyed best your teaching method or the way you explained "understanding ventilator settings".. No, really your ability to help me understand what was previously taught to me has increased my understanding of ventilator settings. I assume you are a really good Dr. I am a nurse now starting a job in home care with ventilator dependant patients. I will always consult utube for your educational videos. Keep them coming, brilliant!
Great teaching. First time I have ever commented on a You Tube video! Thanks so much. I'm a respiratory physiotherapist just looking for a refresher. Just what I was after!
I have watched this video multiple times since I started as an ICU nurse in May. I love your explanation! Can you do another video on managing alarms and when to change vent settings?
I rarely leave a moment, but I MUST for you. You have a gift for teaching ! You are very knowledgeable and able to simply everything and make learning an easy process. I thank you :)
Thank you so much for posting. Your lecture was clear and very logical to follow. You really made the concept so much easier to understand. Hope you will continue teaching, as you have a gift for it.
Thank you so much for very simple ! yet very informative presentation, i my self a med student thousands of miles away from you(Yemen), as a matter of fact i will be having my final ICU exam next wk. you really have a great way of capturing your audiences attention, GOOD LUCK to you, great job :-)
I have been browsing you tube for a helpful, detailed video. And after A LOT of browsing, lol. I am already liking this 1. I just started watching it. Going back to nursing but doing HH now and will b working w ventilators which I really didn't do. So, thx u.
and maintain job security as well. Plus, this video makes it so easy to understand the process, and obviously, it's Such a great tool for students as well. Not very many non pulmonary physicians can explain ventilation to someone and have them clearly understand as William is doing in this video All and All..This guy is great at teaching! I could say more,but that's a small sum it up of what you were asking If you are an RT then you probably understand where I am coming from.:)
Fantastic Video. Excellent analogies and very point to point, top down explanation of settings and potential hazards associated with each setting. Thank you!
Bill, thanks so much for this marvelous video, it REALLY helped me understand ventilators and how they affect our patients. I'm passing it on to some of my classmates.
hi buddy... that was awesome.. being a beginner RN, ur video really helped me to understand the terms, so that i understood how physiologically its related to the prognosis,,,,, really appreciate ur effort to put this up, which is helpful for people like me.. thanks..
New to ICU.. clear and precise presentation. Superb!!!! .suggesting of a 2d/3d presentation of the lungs and heart on the complications to make it more visually real.
for a nursing student like myself who has zero experience in the field, besides clinical, this was extremely helpful. You didn't assume we would know the basics already and explain things too fast, and you were extremely clear with your explanations. Your slides were easy to follow also. I've watched 4 other videos and yours was the easiest to understand. Can't thank you enough. Do you have any other videos on respirations? ABG'S?
Abel Tamanji: This is an excellence lecture,explanation,demonstration very good. i really learn a lot. This will really be an excellence doctor in future. keep on with more lectures. i like it. Thks
Depending on where you work, Sometimes there may be a few months that goes by and you haven't been scheduled to work in the ICU. Then one day, BAM, you're taking care of 5 patients on life support. I have quite a bit of experience, so I don't usually have a problem when thrown into a new area of care that I may not have been working in for awhile, but, others that may be new or may have been doing PFT's etc. for several months.We always want to maintain the trust of the person giving us orders.
I think that ALL respiratory therapy staff members that work in ICU, should be made to watch this video at LEAST twice a year and pass a quiz following the video. Should be MANDATORY. This guy is GOOD!
not only did you explain the concepts in a way that i could understand but your voice is perfect to give lectures, talks, etc! Thank you for posting this vid!!!
Bill was awesome 11 years ago as a 4th year med student, I’d love to see his educational videos today. Great speaker!!!
In same boat as Kimberly - RN whose previous explanations have fallen way short of the helpful knowledge imparted by this presentation. Excellent presentation!! 10/10.
BRILLIANT! Respiratory physiotherapists, doctors and nurses are thanking you!
I am a ANAESTHESIA resident at Indore,India..found this video,especially Complications so much useful that i cant express in words...
Wanted to watch for a few minutes but ended up watching the whole lecture. That's the hallmark of an excellent teacher!
i just want to say i am a ICU nursing grad and i have struggled to understand Vents i want you to know that you have given me a light bulb moment and delivered this in a way that has truely helped me. so thank you ever so much!!!!

Thank you, so much. I needed this tutorial...everyone is moving so fast in hospital nobody has time to explain anything. No matter if it is the ED or ICU... healthcare is fast moving.
I’ve recently joined a company that produce these machines and having little prior knowledge, this proved really helpful! Thanks!!

I figured out how to respond lol. I in boxed you in our class canvas.
Can I ask what school offers online for respiratory?
I used to be a ventilation specialist before joining SIEMENS,this presentation is brilliant...
Thank you SO much! Writing my ICU patient paper for nursing school, and your video clearly explained the information I was seeking. Well done!
By far, the best video on youtube to learn basics about mechanical ventilation.

Amazing presentation... I have asked many people to give me a crash course on vent management , but this video tops them all.
I have been searching topic on mechanical vent. for 3-4 days but didn't get satisfied.. But after watching dis I got impressed and yuppp now I can say DAT its not more complicated... Thnx a lot👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
If you are a teaching professor, then more people would go to school instead of skipping class. Absolutely great lecture! Thank you.
I'm a home health LVN. This has been more helpful than any of the training I received through school or my company. Thank you so much.
Mate I'm an intern doing an ICU rotation at the moment - your video has been a great help!
Wow!!! this guy is excellent at teaching and knows how to get the message across!! 10/10 Mr. Selove!!!

Thank you very much! I'm in a respiratory program and was having trouble understanding a couple principles and you really clarified them. Thanks so much!
I keep coming back for a refresher to your video, you were born to teach. Please do more videos!!
So far the best explanation in introduction to mechanical ventilation
Wow, this was very very clarifying for me! I'm a BSN nursing student headed into an ICU preceptorship. Thank you so much
many people know
but few can teach thanks
Hi, This class is so good that a graduate medical student can understand about mechanical ventilation. This class really helps and reinforces my knowledge during intervention of ventilator along with ABG correlation. Hope u will continue further.
Read my critical care textbook on this and was slightly lost with all the info. You've definitely made it easier to comprehend thank you :)

This was great. I am a nursing student and you cleared up a lot of bookwork and incomplete lectures.
I have watched this video multiple times since I started as an ICU nurse in May. I love your explanation! Can you do another video on managing alarms and when to change vent settings?
Superb explanation! So easy to understand. This nurse thanks you. May God bless you!
I rarely leave a moment, but I MUST for you. You have a gift for teaching ! You are very knowledgeable and able to simply everything and make learning an easy process. I thank you :)
If only our RT instructor were as good as you in explaining. Thank you so much!
Thank you, RN (home health nurse) with ventilator dependent patients!
I'm starting in ITU next week this has been a great help in understanding the basics of mechanical ventilation. Thanks
THE BEST TEACHER EVER💯💯

You are the first teacher that explained about the need for nitrogen! Great explanation. But you left out SIMV. Please do a follow up : )
We are still recommended to watch this lecture in 2020.
I have been browsing you tube for a helpful, detailed video. And after A LOT of browsing, lol. I am already liking this 1. I just started watching it. Going back to nursing but doing HH now and will b working w ventilators which I really didn't do. So, thx u.
This is one of the most important medical movie on RUclips. Thank You for that!
This was very helpful and informative for an ICU RN looking to expand her knowledge about vents.
You are a natural tutor . You can even sell sand to the Arabs . Thats a compliment bro . Keep up the good work
and maintain job security as well. Plus, this video makes it so easy to understand the process, and obviously, it's Such a great tool for students as well.

Fantastic Video. Excellent analogies and very point to point, top down explanation of settings and potential hazards associated with each setting. Thank you!
Great explanation. I'm a nursing student and I was struggling to understand the different types of vents. Thanks Doc.
Thank you so much. You are amazing. This will really help me on my Nursing Critical Care final today.
Excellent explanation of ventilator basics in a nutshell. Easy to understand and absorb!!!!
It's Steve Jobs talking about medicine. Great presentation!
This really helped correct my misunderstand about this process. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing!! Brilliant explanation!!
I highly appreciate you. Congratulate your efforts. Thank you from Turkey.Dr.Güngör BAYBOĞA Pediatrician.
Bill, thanks so much for this marvelous video, it REALLY helped me understand ventilators and how they affect our patients. I'm passing it on to some of my classmates.
bravo! this is a great basic science approach to the basic settings of ventilators. definitely will recommend this video and you in the future!
Content delivered like a professor. Thank you
IT REALLY ANSWERED MY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VENTILATOR SETTINGS,THANKS INDEED.DR.FALAH AL-JUBOORY.
your explenation is simple and to the point. Thank you. the terminology is as important as numbers and you explained the terminolgy well. Thanks
Excellent presentation, thank you! This has helped clear up my confusion and will help in my studies for my exam. You are a great teacher!!
Nice presentation. Great job of breaking down the settings and explaining them clearly while giving examples.
Excellent Review! Very clinical and comprehensive.The basic facts that USMLE tests on..thanks!
Glad to see RNs here! as an RT I love to see nurses learn about vents, that way we can communicate better :)
sincity RRT home care nurses are more trained with ventilators and other respiratory equipments. Nurses in hospitals get spoiled because they have RTs
And lose our jobs
Thank you from a respiratory student in LA!
hi buddy... that was awesome.. being a beginner RN, ur video really helped me to understand the terms, so that i understood how physiologically its related to the prognosis,,,,, really appreciate ur effort to put this up, which is helpful for people like me.. thanks..
Thank you for this explanation. As a new flight paramedic this is very helpful.
thank you sir for allowing me to understand the ventilator settings. from Singapore
wow ventilators actually make sense now!! Thanks for helping this nursing student out! :)
Excellent. Beyond doubt the best video on mechanical ventilation.
Totally Agree with U* :) M a 2nd year Nursing student and wanted to learn about the vent. settings..William cleared all concepts ... :)
His Teaching is So beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes :)
Excellent video. I hope you continue helping as you did with this presentation. Many thanks!
Thank you for a simple but effective presentation J. Patterson LPN
Absolutely best explanation of vent settings. Great video, thank you
This video was very helpful for me. I hope to see more from you in the future. Thank you for your time.
Extremely helpful. Thank you. Passed it along to entire RN class.
Very helpful video, you explained everything clearly and put everything together so nicely! Loved the Greek mythology analogy as well.
This is great- thanks so much! -senior nursing student/critical care

Great presentation. Re Negative pressure ventilators, they can cause upper airway obstruction particularly during sleep
Thank yoi, this is where got my basic knowledge of ventilator. You are so natural. 🙏🙏
Thank you. It was clear and easy to understand. I wish you have all the different modes, like aprv, prvc, simv.
Abel Tamanji: This is an excellence lecture,explanation,demonstration very good. i really learn a lot. This will really be an excellence doctor in future. keep on with more lectures. i like it. Thks
Thank you for sharing this! It was very informative and I am sure will be helpful when I start Med/Surg 3 in January!
