    Remembering the difference between shunt and deadspace used to drive me crazy!!

    Bud, you are an absolute genius! I watched 4 other videos before finding yours, 1 of those videos I watched three time and didn’t get it. Your explanation is superb.
    Best videos on RUclips 👌

    I just shared this video with two of my favorite critical care RN's (Abbey and Robert). They are studying for the CCRN exam. This information is part of the study material and practice exam. Thanks again, Joe! ❤ your videos.

    Thank you for making this and your other videos. I have 25 yrs invested in Nursing. Almost all in the ER, including travel contracts @ Level 1 & 2 trauma centers. I have to be honest , I was always taught "Bag and call RT" & "Let RT handle the vent, you handle the rest". Well that all changed when I took a travel contract in a small town in Northern NY. "What do you mean 'I' have to work the ventilator?" Well the luxury of having RT at my beckon call is over. Having RT in the building overnight it's not a thing here so I'm having to learn after these yrs. This video ROCKS!!!!!! Thanks for putting what I already know into an even better format. I'm definitely going to use your breakdown when I teach new Nurses.

  • @danielt1812
    @danielt1812 4 года назад +2

    I'm really not understanding how COPD can be a condition typically characterised by high V/Q ratio. I've looked up sources that seem to label it with decreased V/Q ratios.

    • @RespiratoryCoach
      @RespiratoryCoach  4 года назад +3

      Hey, Daniel. Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts. If you consider the alveolar destruction, which leads to airtrapping and hyperinflated alveoli, in conjunction with pulmonary vasoconstriction caused by the chronic hypoxemia, then the idea of ventilation being in excess of perfusion makes sense. This article might help. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK442016/

  • @pulmovista500guidedaprv2

  • @mwa_911
    @mwa_911 6 месяцев назад

    I think in COPD you have decreased V/Q ratio as there is mucus build up inside the alveoli which would hinder adequate ventilation.

  • @lizl.6874
    @lizl.6874 4 года назад +2

    Totally make sense now for me. Will it make a difference if we knew it is shunting or dead space in managing patients particularly ventilated ones❓

    • @RespiratoryCoach
      @RespiratoryCoach  4 года назад +3

      Absolutely! Shunting will require more PEEP to promote better oxygenation, while an increase in deadspace will require a larger minute ventilation to adequately remove CO2. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting, Liz.

    Two videos I watched said that normal ventilation to perfusion ratio is 0.8 is that incorrect?
    Very great video by the way!

  • @luzmaalcaraz
    @luzmaalcaraz 3 года назад

    Can we calculate V/Q ratio w/o a V/Q scan? For example, using pt's actual ventilator minute ventilation for the "V" and if hooked up to hemodynamics monitoring, using the Qt value for the "Q?"

    A low V/Q will cause low PaO2 and normal PaCO2, what about high V/Q?

    • @RespiratoryCoach
      @RespiratoryCoach  2 года назад +1

      High CO2 , low O2, but a normal A-a gradient. Interesting stuff! Thanks for asking and watching!

    What will be V/Q ratio in pneumothorax and pleural effusion

    • @RespiratoryCoach
      @RespiratoryCoach  4 года назад +1

      Both of those diseases create shunts, so your v/q ratio will decrease

    • @awaisshafi6541
      @awaisshafi6541 4 года назад +1

      And in pulmonary hypertension?

    • @RespiratoryCoach
      @RespiratoryCoach  4 года назад +1

      @@awaisshafi6541 Decreased pulmonary blood flow = ventilation greater than perfusion = deadspace = increased V/Q ratio.

    • @awaisshafi6541
      @awaisshafi6541 4 года назад +1

      Thanku and last question if question says just hypertension? Not mentioning either pulmonary or systemic then general HTN effect will be same as Inc V/Q?

      Hi Tanveer. In this video I used multiples of 5 to simplify the math for the sake of simplifying the concept. It's not always, actually rarely is it multiples of 5 with actual patient data, but the concept remains the same. Thanks for watching and asking this good question!
