I have recently transitioned into the ICU and I have been binge-watching your videos. Your content is excellent and I have learned so much. Thank you so much for creating this channel. I will probably end up watching all of your videos. Phenomenal work!
Wow, thank you so much Merissa! I'm really glad that you found the channel and that you are enjoying the videos so far. Be careful on the binge though, as the collection is getting quite extensive these days lol. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Congrats on the new ICU position and wishing you all the best!
This video literally saved me in clinics today. We just started learning about mechanical ventilation and one of the doctor quiz us, the rt students, about why a SIMV mode was more comfortable than the AC mode. I literally watch this video last night before clinics and was able to answer that it’s because AC mode forces a pt to take in the full set tidal volume while the SIMV will allow the pt to take in whichever tidal volume they want when they initiate a breath and everyone was like good answer. 😂 thank you for making me not look dumb for once.
Haha, not dumb clearly! Just new and needing more time to grasp concepts, but thanks for sharing this. So cool! Really glad the videos was helpful and helped you to grasp the underlying concepts. That's why I do all this. Understanding the why and what is happening helps you in so many ways.
SIMV stands for synchronized intermittent mechanical ventilation. The pt has to be able to trigger so if not then Simv becomes as the same as AC. Also Simv may be more comfortable for an awake pt.
Have worked Tele / med surg for 3 years and finally moving to ICU in 2 days. Have been watching these videos trying to get ready. So nervous! But these are helping :)
Thank you so much for having the patience to be an effective teacher. Helping us understand all of these concepts makes us more competent and understanding of our patient's situation. I couldn't believe I could understand all that you're teaching--as I felt overwhelmed before for not having a clue on any of these! Massive thanks again!!! May He bless you a lot.
I have searched for hours for a simple but informational run down of these vent modes. I found this an hour before my test and now feel ready. Thank you!
I have been out of ICU x 5 yrs now. I was recently redeployed to ICU within our organization to support during this difficult time. Your videos saved me. I have forgotten so much but your videos helped me cultivate all that previous knowledge and experience. Thank you so much!
Wow, this is so amazing to hear Sherry! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment and share your experience. And I'm really happy that I was able to play a part in helping to ease your transition back to the ICU! Stay safe!
Thanks for the educational videos. My dad has been fighting COVID-19 for 79 days and I have been learning LOTS about the ventilation machine and all the settings, but as he's getting down to pressure support, I want to understand the road to weaning and finally being extubated! That will be a glorious day and just one of many milestones he's overcome as he continues to heal. Thanks for the info for even us non-medical people trying to understand this process for our family members.
Hello, great video. I'm an ER RN and I am watching videos like this, because I think I may be in charge of lots of vented patients. I never realized how valuable RTs are.
Hey Alexis! Thanks for dropping in to leave a comment and congrats on the new ICU position! Happy to hear these videos are helpful and hope things have been going well for you.
So many times .....professors & books fails to give us that specific information what we need ....bt ur videos r very precise & exactly what I need......tnx u so much🌼
Been binge watching and taking notes on your videos for my transition to ICU this Sunday. Extremely helpful! I keep my report sheets in a thin binder, so I can stick my notes on pressors, sedatives, paralytics, vent modes, etc. in the back for things I'll likely need to reference frequently at first. I'll have a 3 month orientation with an experienced ICU nurse, but I'm hoping anything from these videos I can retain and bring to the table will help.
Hello! I am a retired firefighter/paramedic turned college professor where I teach in a paramedic program. I also have experience doing critical care transports. This video will be a FANTASTIC resource for my students. The only thing I find lacking from this video is high- and low-pressure alarm settings and troubleshooting those alarms. Please keep up the great work!
Thank you Andrew. Thats awesome to hear. I didn't cover that stuff in this video as I plan to make another video at some point covering some vent/patient troubleshooting. Glad you enjoyed it.
I recently switched back to step-down from doing Telemetry/ medsurge but missed Stepdown/ICU setting. This is a refresher, even being a nurse for over 5 yrs, it was very helpful. Thank you so much for your detailed videos.
I'm here in KSA and I'm new in this ward with patient on mechanical ventilator and your video helps a lot in my understanding....very clear and concise
Really useful video. I'll be entering the NHS as a FY1 doctor soon, and thought it was important to gain a basic understanding of ventilator modes so that I can be of much use as possible. This is a great resource and I'll be sure to share it with my fellow final year students.

Thank you. This is one of the best explanations of different vent modes I have watched. Currently have a family member w/ COVID on a vent. I find understanding the numbers helpful.
Thanks for this video. My dad has been on the ventilator for 10 days now with Covid. This video helps me understand more of the information that the doctors and nurses are providing. I really appreciate the explanations.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad and hoping for a speedy recovery for him. Glad to have been able to give you a little more grasp of what is going on and what they are referring to. Take care.
Wow, thank you so much Gabe for the awesome comment! I'm humbled that you would say such nice things and I'm really glad that you like the videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and let me know!
This is the stuff they don't teach us in pre-clinicals! Thank you so much!! Just started my core year in med school and already I'm overwhelmed by all the things there are to know but pretty excited.
Man I just found your videos and they are absolutely incredible and straight to the point easy to follow I really really appreciate all your hard work into presenting these on UA-cam I obviously subscribed I’m in my critical care class now in my last semester in nursing school so thank you so much God bless
I’m a paramedic and we occasionally do vent transfers. I don’t think the sending faculty realize paramedics don’t learn a lot about ventilators! At least my program. So i’m watching all these videos lol
Recently transitioned to a peds CVICU floor and the vent settings had me so anxious because of my lack of knowledge in them. Came across this video and I'm less anxious/discouraged! Thank you for breaking it down in a way that's easy to comprehend. I'll definitely be checking out the rest of your videos!
I am going back to my ICU assignment and learning allot from our topics in this Channel for my refresher. Good point Pressure support mode is not the CPAP mode . Thanks
Your videos/lessons are so concise with a great flow/structure! I like the use of different colors to pair/differentiate subjects. Loving all your videos! Thank you for them.
Thank you so much Kevin for the awesome comment! Glad that you enjoy the videos. I appreciate the feedback on the color grouping, as thats my main reason for doing it!
I listened to this at 1.75 speed and found it IMMENSELY more helpful. My issue with a lot of these videos is that they move too slowly and drag out information to the point it loses my attention. I know not everyone has this problem, but if the 24:40 run time if this video is holding you back, try speeding it up. Plenty of good info easily digestible in a fraction of the time.
Everyone certainly enjoys it at different paces. I hear all the time its too fast and its too slow. Thats what makes the UA-cam player so great is you can adjust the speed.
I am a subscriber to your channel and your video on ventilation modes has been the easiest to understand and you make the learning fun😊. I have all struggled with vent modes and found it quite complicated but with your simple explanation, your gym analogy about pressure support, the diagrams and breaking it all down, it really helps. I really wished more people could teach like you in hospitals.
Thank you so much for this as an RT student we aren't able to go to the hospitals right now but you just talking about it and breaking it down really helps!
But when dealing with ventilator, you should be an expert more practically and theoretically. This can be achieved by continous exposure... All the best...
Here I am, wishing once again when I finish my med school, I will go after my desired speciality of EM and I will definitely include your name on my grad speech.
Thank you so much James and welcome aboard! I really appreciate the awesome comment. If you actually watch the next video on “advanced vent modes” I cover pressure control more there. 😊
Had watch and seen few videos regarding this topic but still i find your piece to be one of the most simplest and easy catching to go, definitely lots of fun, worth learning, interestingly high to watch out for as health care worker. Honestly just so picky when choosing something to watch till i got yours. Really proud to be a Respiratory Therapist. Thank you so much for this additional information you have shared us. More power to your channel.
Thank you so much! Thats so humbling to hear all of that. I'm really glad that these videos were enjoyable and had good information in there for you. Thank you for taking the time to stop in and leave a comment!
I was having no idea about such thisngs not just this ventilator but the whole icu was something I haven't known yet except its abbreviation ICU... many thanks 😘
Thank you Eddie. I was trying to learn simple ventilator settings to help out a collegue during COVID crisis and this video is Godsend. Bless you,from India... 🙏
Thanks for the additional education you provide. I'm confused at 16:53 when you mention "we often initially use AC when we're intubating a patient as we really have the FULL CONTROL over our patient's minute ventilation". In my understanding in AC, this set rate can be overturned by the patient, and as with VT, increasing RR will increase minute ventilation. If anyone can clarify would be great :)
Great question and a very valid question. Your understanding is 100% correct as the patient can overrun the set rate. As a result, each breath they would get the full Vt each time. It is important that we are aware of this with patients on AC and that we have them sedated and comfortable to prevent this. When I refer to "full control" I am referring to the volume that is being delivered. The hope is that the patient is in a position that they are not drastically over breathing the set rate and thus we can maintain tight control over the total ventilation of the patient. Certainly times exist where this isn't possible, and then in those cases we can look to use other modes to try and achieve the proper minute ventilation that we are hoping for.
Awesome to hear that Carlos! It's a whole different world for sure. I hope you enjoy the transition and best of luck to you. Glad to be able to help the process.
Hi Eddie, love and appreciate your work! Been a subscriber for ages and whenever I find difficulty understanding the dynamics in every system, your page has always been my go-to. Hope you will make more videos, especially on how to read and interpret chest X-rays. :>
Love your videos. If you can also link your previous and next vids in the series that would be awesome. If you also added time stamps we could skip to the topic we want to review. Thanks for all your help!
Thank you Jessie. I'll look at adding links to the playlist. Almost all my videos I create a playlist for the series, so I'll look to include that in the description for each video. Also when this video was made, the time stamp feature wasn't available. I'll look to go back through my older videos and add those in over time. Thanks for the suggestions and glad you liked the video!
Wish i saw this video before my clinical rotation in Coronary ICU. They never teach you the basics of vent settings. Would be nice to know all this so i Thank You.
I remember it hitting me on a weekend night, when there really was just the staff around on the unit, that all of these patients lives was resting in the hands of those of us working there. There is so much autonomy in the ICU and it was sobering realizing how much responsibility was on our shoulders. That said, it really is a team effort of all those around but its seemed crazy how few people had so much responsibility for some super sick people.
Cool brother I was able to understand your vent mode explanations. I was able to make a connection with what was called a "CPAP trail" in my PICU clinical rotation with the pressure support settings.
I CLICKED ON THIS VIDEO ON AN ACCIDENT AND ENDED UP WATCHING A FEW OF THEM.GREAT INFORMATION ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WANTING TO JOIN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND EVEN FOR PEOPLE WHOM CARE FOR THEIR SICK LOVED ONES
Nice vids. You should make one on blood product administration - the indications for each product, compatibility, and the differences between crossed and uncrossed blood.
I am always terrify any time I think of MV and it's setting, but u make it nothing compare to the fear I have for it. I love the way u simplify it thank u😊
Thank you Eddie. I am not clinical but seek to know what I am looking at so I can navigate supporting the charges reported for providers and you are EXCELLENT at breaking this information down to a level for a non-clinical person like myself. Keep up the great work! You are awesome my guy! :) 🤗

Hello, great video. I'm an ER RN and I am watching videos like this, because I think I may be in charge of lots of vented patients. I never realized how valuable RTs are.
Oh yes Tim, the RTs are a godsend to us nurses! We make a great team together.
Thank you so much. I'm a Respiratory Therapist & I wish more nurses thought like you.
We are definitely a great team when we work together.
New grad ICU nurse checking in! Thank you for the videos!!!!!S/O to all the ICU nurses who tune in to refresh or gain more insight into their unit!
Hey Alexis! Thanks for dropping in to leave a comment and congrats on the new ICU position! Happy to hear these videos are helpful and hope things have been going well for you.
Thank you , if I’m coming out of retirement for COVID I needed a refresher Course !
Awesome! Thats fantastic what you are doing! Hope this video helped some.
Good luck to you fellow doctor.

So awesome to hear this Renee!! Love you too! 😊 And truly happy to be able to help you gain the knowledge and build that confidence!
Thank you. This is one of the best explanations of different vent modes I have watched. Currently have a family member w/ COVID on a vent. I find understanding the numbers helpful.
I am so sorry to hear about your family member and Im hoping for a quick recovery for them. Glad that you found this video useful.
THANK YOU! I just became a FP-C and this was very useful to help me with understanding vent modes better than how my instructors taught me.
These videos are a great resource for non ICU nurses who will be caring for covid patients.
I'm glad to hear that Joan! I hope they are very helpful for you.
That's why I'm here.

I hope you won’t get tired of doing this. 👍
Thank you for all your effort.
Thank you! It can be difficult at times, but I do still enjoy doing it and plan to keep it up :)
Started neonatal intensive care post last week and this has been helpful in giving me confidence in ventilating babies. Thank you
Awesome! Glad this helped and congrats on the new position! Wishing you the best.
@@ICUAdvantage thank you
You saved me. I'm in in critical care and studying for boards :(
I am going to watch all of your videos and subscribed, which I almost never do
Awesome Really glad you found them helpful for you and hope you enjoy the others! Best of luck to you and thanks so much for the sub!
this was AMAZING, highly recommend (nursing student)
Thank you so much Jacqueline!!
You have earned my subscription at the beginning of the video
This was a great video. Very simple with no distracting filler. Would have loved a little more on Pressure Control. Great channel. Subscribing!
Thank you so much James and welcome aboard! I really appreciate the awesome comment. If you actually watch the next video on “advanced vent modes” I cover pressure control more there. 😊
Had watch and seen few videos regarding this topic but still i find your piece to be one of the most simplest and easy catching to go, definitely lots of fun, worth learning, interestingly high to watch out for as health care worker. Honestly just so picky when choosing something to watch till i got yours. Really proud to be a Respiratory Therapist. Thank you so much for this additional information you have shared us. More power to your channel.
Thank you so much! Thats so humbling to hear all of that. I'm really glad that these videos were enjoyable and had good information in there for you. Thank you for taking the time to stop in and leave a comment!
Thanks!
Thank you Jeff! I appreciate that!
I was having no idea about such thisngs not just this ventilator but the whole icu was something I haven't known yet except its abbreviation ICU... many thanks 😘
Hopefully the video was helpful in understanding some of it
@@ICUAdvantage absolutely🎻 and now I'm sharing your channel to all my friends.. I think it is already lovingly known worldwide 😁
very useful video for newly ICU staff, thanks
Yes most definitely!
Thank you Eddie. I was trying to learn simple ventilator settings to help out a collegue during COVID crisis and this video is Godsend. Bless you,from India... 🙏
You are very welcome! Glad to hear this video was helpful for you!
THANK YOU!!! For the clearest explanations of vents!
Very cool to hear this! You're very welcome!
Explained better than my prof at uni. Thank you a lot.
Wow! I really appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks for the additional education you provide. I'm confused at 16:53 when you mention "we often initially use AC when we're intubating a patient as we really have the FULL CONTROL over our patient's minute ventilation". In my understanding in AC, this set rate can be overturned by the patient, and as with VT, increasing RR will increase minute ventilation. If anyone can clarify would be great :)
Great question and a very valid question. Your understanding is 100% correct as the patient can overrun the set rate. As a result, each breath they would get the full Vt each time. It is important that we are aware of this with patients on AC and that we have them sedated and comfortable to prevent this. When I refer to "full control" I am referring to the volume that is being delivered. The hope is that the patient is in a position that they are not drastically over breathing the set rate and thus we can maintain tight control over the total ventilation of the patient. Certainly times exist where this isn't possible, and then in those cases we can look to use other modes to try and achieve the proper minute ventilation that we are hoping for.
May God bless you for this masterpiece
Very important video..watch this for all about ventilator settings 👇 ua-cam.com/video/GqLFhfOZLks/v-deo.html
Good Stuff Eddie! I'm an ED Nurse hopefully transitioning to SICU, this is gonna help brother 👊🏽👊🏽
Awesome to hear that Carlos! It's a whole different world for sure. I hope you enjoy the transition and best of luck to you. Glad to be able to help the process.
Am learning alot as a critical care student
Hi Eddie, love and appreciate your work! Been a subscriber for ages and whenever I find difficulty understanding the dynamics in every system, your page has always been my go-to. Hope you will make more videos, especially on how to read and interpret chest X-rays. :>
thanks a lot for simplifying and clearly explaining of this topic it is take time to understand it but you make it easy thanks again
This is great!
Wow, I am impressed...wonderful job. Very informative 👏
Love your videos. If you can also link your previous and next vids in the series that would be awesome. If you also added time stamps we could skip to the topic we want to review. Thanks for all your help!
Thank you Jessie. I'll look at adding links to the playlist. Almost all my videos I create a playlist for the series, so I'll look to include that in the description for each video. Also when this video was made, the time stamp feature wasn't available. I'll look to go back through my older videos and add those in over time. Thanks for the suggestions and glad you liked the video!
Great lesson I am a Physical Therapist trying to add RT knowledge to my skills since I work in the ICU..more lessons like this please , thanks again
Awesome! Always good to expand our horizons. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ICUAdvantage Thanks, as a PT at which areas do you suggest can I focus on with regards to respiratory care of patients in icu?
This video explained vents far more clearly in less than 25 minutes than my professor did in 4 hours.
Sweet! Glad to have been able to explain it well for ya!
Great Review for work MST / ICU alot of critical care Patients coming in " Ronald Jones RN .
Happy to be able to help!
Start from 2:00
Thank you..!
Thank you.
Wish i saw this video before my clinical rotation in Coronary ICU. They never teach you the basics of vent settings. Would be nice to know all this so i Thank You.
This helped me pass my CCRN and figure out what was wrong with a patient who was tripping the vent all night! (It was a mucous plug). So thanks!
Congrats on the CCRN, but this is so cool to hear! Glad to have been able to help in some way.
You have just earned a new subscription from South Africa 👌👌❤️
So cool! Welcome from South Africa! Glad to have you on board.
I'm now convinced that the nursing staff and the various tech specialties run the ICU.
I remember it hitting me on a weekend night, when there really was just the staff around on the unit, that all of these patients lives was resting in the hands of those of us working there. There is so much autonomy in the ICU and it was sobering realizing how much responsibility was on our shoulders. That said, it really is a team effort of all those around but its seemed crazy how few people had so much responsibility for some super sick people.
Cool brother I was able to understand your vent mode explanations. I was able to make a connection with what was called a "CPAP trail" in my PICU clinical rotation with the pressure support settings.
Awesome to hear James! Really glad this was helpful for you!
Thanks a lot for explaining the content in a clear, understandable way..
Most welcome!
I CLICKED ON THIS VIDEO ON AN ACCIDENT AND ENDED UP WATCHING A FEW OF THEM.GREAT INFORMATION ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WANTING TO JOIN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND EVEN FOR PEOPLE WHOM CARE FOR THEIR SICK LOVED ONES

You're welcome Nathan and thank you so much for taking the time to watch and to leave a comment! I really appreciate that.
Nice vids. You should make one on blood product administration - the indications for each product, compatibility, and the differences between crossed and uncrossed blood.
Thank you Mike. Great suggestion! I'll add it to the to-do list.

Thank you Eddie. I am not clinical but seek to know what I am looking at so I can navigate supporting the charges reported for providers and you are EXCELLENT at breaking this information down to a level for a non-clinical person like myself. Keep up the great work! You are awesome my guy! :) 🤗
