I would like to ask you a question: One of my relatives has been in a coma for a month due to cardiac arrest. He needs oxygen support now. Could you tell me how do they treat this condition in the United States? Thank you so much.
Worked in the Trauma ICU and it always amazes me how well we all work together to keep these patients alive and well. To me, there's no other adrenaline rush that matches a code well done.

I love your videos; easy to understand and concise. I'll be working in cardiac- step down as a new nurse, and will be required to have ACLS cert. Your voice is sooo smooth, I love listening to your lectures. Thank you for making it easier for us 🙂
Thanks so much for this awesome comment! 😊 Always puts a smile on my face to know the videos are appreciated. Congrats btw on the new position in cardiac-step down. You'll be very busy with some complex patients there. Wishing you the best and happy to be able to help in some way. 😉
This was very helpful, thank you Eddie! I'm med surg & IV team not ICU, but I'm trying to expand my knowledge base. Really enjoy all of your content; you are a fantastic teacher!!
Thank you so much! And yes, this information certainly applies in a lot of areas outside of ICU, for sure! I appreciate the kind words and really glad these videos are helpful for you.
I am glad that I have found your channel, really appreciate your hard work, please make videos on IABP, fluid management, Central line, basic things to look on chest x-ray etc, eagerly waiting, love from India 🇮🇳
Thanks for a helpful presentation! Don't forget that a pneumothorax may be spontaneous and idiopathic - even in young healthy folks. Sometimes there is a past history of spontaneous pneumothorax. Recent injections in the shoulder or upper spine may be associated with a pneumothorax as well. I have seen all of these. I also saw a 15-year old patient in the ER who presented with severe SOB. A quick assessment showed absent breath sounds on the left. In severe distress. I took his shirt off for a more detailed examination and he had a small - maybe 1-2mm - cut just medial to his left nipple. "What were you doing when you started to feel short of breath" I asked. "Mowing the yard" he said!! The mower had picked up a nail and it perforated his chest wall, missed his heart by a centimeter, collapsed his lung, penetrated his diaphragm, and ended up inside his spleen! The ER presents far more options for etiology of respiratory and cardiac arrest than does the ICU...
I love your videos, so easily understandable the way you explain it. I was looking in your channel but did not find. Do you have a video explaining code cool, post cardiac arrest?? It would really be helpful, thank you!
Been nursing great review for Acls mega code. Very simple and like your approach not intimidating Thanks. I’m medsurg and look forward to seeing your other videos
Thank you so much for your videos!! They are super helpful. I was given a tip by an instructor to remember the T’s, OPRAH. tOxins, Pneumothorax, tRauma, tAmponade, tHrombus. Hope this helps 😁 and thank you again! Keep up the good work please!
Great video but i wanted to ask since im still newer to icu, 5 yr nurse but only last 6 mos has been in icu, and thinking in this way does not yet come automatic for me yet,... I feel like a new grad at times, should i be concerned about that or is it normal? I am watching as much as i can trying to refresh on things in order to think more like gow an icu nurse should think 🤔
You’re amazing at what you do. You are very thorough in your lessons. Good job! You will be a fabulous CRNA if you choose to do that. You are more knowledgeable than some of the ICU resident doctors I work with. :)
My family member had cardiac arrest on Friday night at the hospital when the staff is cut to 1/3(with no supervisor around), and the displacement of his airway was not caught on time to avoid the cardiac arrest. He was revived thru CPR but lost consciousness. Should hospital be responsible for that negligence?
Toxins should be opioids, cholinergics, anticholinergics and sympathomimetics. Check the pupils. Then QT interval toxins, like two or more QT interval drugs on top of electrolytes being out of whack, or the pt is old, female, etc.
Yeah I'm not sure why they were officially removed, but I think, as well as others, that they still have a valid place. Maybe Trauma less so from an inpatient setting, but I've yet to hear a good reason not to take them in to consideration when evaluating any potential causes.
I am a wife, my husband had congestive heart failure. And I came across this lessons, about coding , my husband was being treated in the ICU from day 1 until 10th days is his final days. My main question is why he developed fever even he is been given antibiotics while he is sedated and incubated. All i know he is going to be better because day 1 .to day 5 he is progressing, and all his medications was taking off I the drips nurses given his medication thru injection to his IV. What i cant understand doctors why doctors order 2.5ml of morphine on day 10, and after 2.5 hours he was in code blue, to my understanding they suppressed his death. All I thought he is going to be treated not be murdered under ICU's Hospital doctor's. Please help me, to understand why this happen quickly. To end his life.
My husband died in cardiac arrest while he is sedated and incubated, for 10 days first to 5th days his doing progress then on the 8 days he developed fever for 2 days on the 10 days he was coded. Please explain why this happen to Him his only 42 years old. I have knowledge about medical thermonology. And I believed they mis treated him they don't give the treatment that he needs.
1. Never check an ABG during arrest. It takes 20 minutes for equilibration to take place before the ABG will show true values. 2. NEVER give calcium Bicarbonate in ACLS. This is NOT part of ACLS stop teaching people this! Numerous studies have shown that giving bicarbonate during these situations makes the acidosis worse and the patients actually have a higher mortality rate. Secondly, if you understand biochemistry bicarbonate is converted through carbonic anhydrase which produces CO2 thereby worsening your acidosis. Lastly, giving bicarbonate creates an alkalotic extracellular environment while shifting an acidosis into the cell worsening cardiac myocyte contractility and function. If you want to save your patient perform high quality CPR and follow the ACLS algorithm. If you feel your method is more superior then conduct studies on your method, present this to the medical community and prove the AHA wrong after all their decades of research.
Hi! if you read the title and description it says "YOUR PATIENT is STILL CODING, NOW WHAT", which probably means that he is past doing CPR. In the ACLS Algorithm it says :"treat reversible causes", this is after CPR and cardioversion.

I am an ICU nurse and I really enjoyed watching your videos. You explain your topic clearly. Continue creating more videos.
Thanks so much Missy! Really happy to hear this and I'll definitely be making more!

💯 agreed
My 2 longest codes both exceeded 6 hr. and both pts. left the hospital without sequelae. Moral: NEVER give up...keep thinking.
This channel is The new Netflix… Definitely BINGE WORTHY!
Hahah yeeees!! 😊 starting to get to be a LOT to binge these days 😉
Thanks for all that you do. Keep them coming 😊

I have a whole series covering ACLS if you want a quick review beforehand. Check out my videos on here.
And do t be terrified! You’ll do great!
You're a good man, making good things. Thank you!
Thank you. I really appreciate the kind words Eric!

Thank you very much, very useful, interesting presentation
Thank you!
I love your videos. Just please check the spelling for "Reversable." I believe it's spelled with an i instead of an a.
Spelling was not always my strongest subject, but I do try and catch these when I can.
This was exactly the breakdown I needed! Thank you!
Awesome!!!

Thank you, new subscriber here ❤
Woohoo!! Welcome!!!
Hi, my doubt is regarding tamponade. I wanted to ask, how do you propose doing a bedside echo during an ongoing code?
Thanks for making these videos, they are amazing!
We do them all the time. Either less formal with an ultrasound and a cardiac probe, but also a formal echo at bedside too.
Glad you like the videos!
Well explained..very informative...good job pal.
Awesome! Thanks Frank!

Thank you for your work :)
You are very welcome Allen! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! 🙂
how does calcium gluconate protect the cardiomyocytes?
Is it to protect the sodium channels.
Great stuff
Awesome! Glad you liked it Justin!

You might get hypothermia in the inpatient setting with burn patients
Reversible* but great work
Ahhh no, did I spell it wrong somewhere!?!? 🤦🏻♂️
