I'm in nursing school and your videos have been invaluable in understanding the pathophysiology of the disease processes we study. I wish you were my professor, but thank God I have access to you on RUclips. If I pass my nursing boards, it will be in large part to your help! Thank you!!!
Amazing, yet simple explanation of ARDS. Thank you. I always come watch your videos first and then read the textbook. You do a great job of simplifying really complex topics.
I am in an intensivecare specialization program and that was GREAT! You finally made me understanding it! I will watch it over and over again! Keep up the good work! Thank you!
you are pretty much the only reason i am still passing nursing school at this point. i dont know what i would do without your helpful videos. you break things down so great. thanks!
Thank you for your easy-to-understand video on ARDS. I have found it quite useful in my preparation for the NCLEX as well as for my future career as a nurse. THANK YOU!
I am a nursing student studying acute care and currently focusing on the respiratory system and I learn best by studying the pathophysiology behind disease in order to better understand how to assess and treat. This video has helped so much! I also see that you have other pathophysiology videos listed and I hope that they are just as helpful as I progress through this acute care course for the remainder of the semester. Thank you so much!
My son survived ARDS in 2008 when he was 10. He aspirated when they extubated him too soon after back surgery. It was a horrible experience. So grateful he's here.
I hope some major breakthroughs occur in treating ARDS soon. My dad passed away at only 57 years old, about 6 months ago from complications due to ARDS. His flu turned into pneumonia which triggered ARDS all in about a week. He spent 7 1/2 weeks fighting in the ICU before cardio-respiratory failure. Pretty insane sequence of events, praying for anyone else out there who goes through this.
dasunit07 My mother is going through this right now. She had the rhinovirus, it turned into pneumonia and now into ARDS. She's been in the ICU since the 12th or the 13th, sorry I cannot remember exactly my memory is crap. Too much stress and too much anxiety in my life. She's now on the ventilation as you probably know she cannot breath on her own anymore at this moment. I'm scared for her life and everyone keeps telling me to stay positive and that she will be fine but I can't help but want to scream at them because I don't feel it in my heart that she's fine. She's worse now than she was before and now she can't even breath without that ventilator. She's a smoker too, and she's already had open heart surgery. She basically didn't start with good health, or good lungs or a good immune system to begin with. She's only 51 years old. :( I don't want to lose my mom. I am so sorry that you lost your father!
+Melissa Miller I hope your mom is doing better. My mom seem to die so fast but I think as her caregiver I missed the signs to help her in time. By the time I noticed her twitching on her left side her o2 was 58 percent. I turned up her oxygen and gave her a breathing treatment without realizing this was a good thing to do and wish I'd never called an ambulance who did nothing for her. I got to the ER and she was all alone in the hallway with no one helping her and most likely suffering. The run report said she was alert so she knew what was going on, how I don't know I'm trying so hard to find out how badly she suffered. She died in the hallway with no one helping her. If I'd known albuterol helped, I'd kept her at home and gave her that as I had her o2 to 78 but they didn't even give her comfort care, nothing. I'll forever be traumatized by this.
Your videos are great! I have an interview for CRNA school this week and I am using your videos to brush up on material so I sound smart. I owe you a thank you (if I get in)....
That was a beautifully presented lecture. They always ask in school to figure out which type of learner you are. I guess I am a visual and audio learner. I really enjoy the illustrations that go with the lecture. Thank you so much for taking the time to break the pathophysiology down. Do you have any videos on pulmonary edema and right sided heart failure or CHF?
vanox bud I didn't say that I used this video alone and stopped there. Of course I studied much more than this. Just encouraging Andrew and letting him know he made a good video.
vanox Naser Basic? isn't the basic stuff the best to know fully before building on it? Tony - good comment, i agree, great vid and understandable. The concept of ARDS is taught very well here.
Great Video! I think it would be great for future learners if you listed out the stages of the Lung Injury such as the Injury Phase, Reparative Phase, and the Fibrotic Phase. You did slightly describe them but maybe a little more in depth would be great and helpful along with some typical respiratory failure signs and symptoms! Thanks for these videos, they are extremely helpful as a nursing student!
I am an ARDS survivor as well as a pneumococcal pneumonia survivor. I didn't respond to the antibiotics until the pulmonologist recalled reading an article suggesting women aerate better through our backs. They turned me over and there was immediate improvement. I was on the vent for six weeks, sedated for 18 days before they trached me. My pulmonologist was so surprised by the lack of scar tissue on the x-rays taken at my follow up visit that he called in all of his office staff to see it.
I am happy to hear you survived that, Janet! May you please elaborate a bit more about what happened to you? I am a medical student and I take great care into acquiring such interesting information that may some day help me save a patient's life. So you were lied on your back and on a vent and you were later flipped over onto your stomach whilst still on the vent? Thank you and excuse me if I my questions are too personal.
Hi janet , Its amazing to read your survival story... my 27 years old sister was burnt 80% in a gas explosion in her bedroom. She fought the battle of life for four days but died due to ARDS. 9 months have passed as I am a med student as well, I keep on wondering how could we save her 😔 ....may be if her doctors had known this....
Hashem i am a respiratory therapist. It sound like they "prone" him while on the ventilator. That is done a few hours at a time. That reduces the lung space that can be affected by the leaking capillaries. This is a very simple explanation but i hope you are getting the jest.
Recently read up ARDS management. But, I have a clearer idea of the pathophysiology now, after seeing this video.. I heard a 2000 edition of NEJM had something on this topic. But, this one was definitely quick n interesing. Thanx! Keep up the good work.. :)
Im 37 years old and I decided to go back to school. What was I thinking, ha ha? I’m a respiratory student and your videos have saved me. Thanks so much for all your hard work.
Awesome! Question, when you treat this with o2, would you want to give positive pressure oxygen above atmospheric pressure to try to overcome the decrease in compliance (due to reduced surfactant and increased fluid in the alveolar spaces)? Or would an increase in ventilatory pressure not be able to overcome this alveolar collapsing pressure and would serve only to further damage the alveolar membrane?
@@HealthEdSolutions hey sorry i can go ahead and answer this (had five years to figure it out haha)... ARDS is a condition requiring mechanical ventilation and as such yes it is treated by positive pressure ventilation. The ARDSnet trial showed that mechanically ventilating with 4-6 cc/kg of ideal body weight provides optimal tidal volumes. the low volume prevents volutrauma, a phenomenon whereby excessively large volumes of air are bolused into noncomplaint lungs causing overdistention of alveoli and damage. there are other specifics management guidelines including minimizing peep and targeting less than 60% fio2 that have shown to improve outcomes as well
You are so gifted in explaining complicated concepts. I am a new RN hired onto a pediatric ICU and your videos have helped me so much!

great explanation...the fibrosis part is new to me in this type of inflammation .. I believe it s what causes the formation of the hyalin membrane..
