Thank you! i was always confused on how CO2 was a vasodilator leading to hypotension in the body (decreased pressure) while leading to increased icp (increased pressure) in the head at the same time! to me they had a sort of inverse relationship but the pathophysiology broke it down for me and it makes sense now. Thanks again
@@thehumanbodyoversimplified5381 thank you sir this definitely helped me as I was just having a hyperventilation episode and it felt like my head was going to explode and have a stroke or something
Love this video! A true life-saver (at least for me). I was confused by overcomplicating things (like therapeutic hyperventilation was related to MAP blah blah). Finally able to fully understand the concepts now.
This was a very good video.. awesome! I’m greatful that today, we have different types of ventilators, and it can keep track of how much oxygen to give a patient and how much C02 to get rid of. So many lives are saved because of it. Goc bless 🙏
Great information! Can you add a note saying that hyperventilation is effective in in the later stages of TBI management, or if you are adequately trained and have the equipment to monitor ICP and PaCO2. In the early stages of TBI; avoidance of the 3 H-Bombs (Hypotension, Hypoxia, and Hypocapnia) is critical to minimizing secondary injury.
I'd recommend you research cytotoxic oedema. very basically, the cell can't produce enough ATP through respiration to prevent cellular oedema, a bit complicated to explain here.
Thank you for your video! I was trying to find info on how increase in CO2 affects the brain. My dad has end stage COPD and is on Hospice. He has recently started not making any sense when he talks. I assumed it was the CO2 increasing and now it is effecting his brain. He was in the ICU for a while and Dr said he would need to wear a Bi-pap constantly for the rest of his life. Dad did not like the bi-pap and per discussion with the Dr and with my mom, dad decided to live the rest of his life with quality versus quantity. So now it’s just a waiting game watching him deteriorate. 😢 Trying to find out more information on CO2 and end stage COPD how it affects the organs.
Thanks for your message. I'm glad you found the video useful, COPD is such a horrible condition. I would caution that this video was exploring CO2 and the brain in the context of brain trauma, rather than respiratory disease. Some of the info might not be directly transferable to your fathers condition.
Thank you, that answered many of my questions. I realise that this is not the place to ask for medical help but as I am unable to get answers through normal routes: I have had headaches, pulsatile tinnitus and many other head and ear symptoms for 2 years now, undiagnosed. I have no vision problems. I had polio 69 years ago and, possibly as a result, my minute tidal volume is low, I believe about 2 litres. I have managed all my life, oxygen levels seem fine. I wonder whether, with old age (72) my body is not coping now with low breathing, resulting in higher CO2 and increased intracranial pressure causing my symptoms. Doctors dismiss this and tell me to stop looking at RUclips! I think I may be an interesting case, worthy of investigation. I am awaiting a 2nd brain MRI. Again, apologies, I know this is inappropriate.
short sweet simple and easily understanding
glad you liked it :)

You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful. It took me quite a while to get my head around it.... :)

I'm currently studying paramedicine and this video made it so simple for me to understand the effects of CO2 on ICP. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!

Glad the video was helpful! Its defiantly a concept that took me a while to get my head around too!
This is exactly what I needed to help me understand this relationship, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for conveying such an important concept in simple words!
your very welcome!
One of those tiny not so tested but very useful topics in conceptual approach to ICP
indeed! I work in a Neuro specialist unit so impacts on our practice quite abit.
THANK YOU FOR A CLEAR AND CONCISE EXPLANATION! AWESOME
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for making video.
This video is so helpful for my study!!
Glad it was helpful! Hope your studying's going well
Great video! Glad I found your channel so I can check out other stuff you’ve put out :)
Thanks Dylon, appreciate the positive feedback :)
Brilliant, thanks for this simple explanation,

Thanks Melissa, glad you like the video :)
@@thehumanbodyoversimplified5381 how do you get co2 levels down to normal range
@@sayblaze by promoting increased work of breathing and blowing the CO2 off. Normally via mechanical ventilation (BiPap Machine, ventilator).
Nice explanation 😮
Thanks 🙂

Excellent point Max, there are definitely occasions where cautious hyperventilation is appropriate.
How does acute hypoxia increase ICP ?

Awesome! Thank you!

I will try!
