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.
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🌼
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.

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.
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...
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 😘
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
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.
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... 🙏
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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. 😊
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.
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.
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.
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. :>
I had a relative on a ventilator with neck swelling at high cervical level. Doctors treated him as a terminal case and let the "disease" take its "natural course". They did not provide adequate ventilator support to him.
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 was confused about all these modes you made easy for me, but SIMV Mode looks much better than Assist Control for me cause when a patient is intubated sedated and paralysed it is better to put the patient in SIMV mode than ASSIST. control Cause if the patient is not taking spontaneous breaths because he is completely sedated and paralysed then SIMV will act like Assist control right?
So, if I do understand this correctly. AC means gives the patient a full Vt whenever the patient give a spontaneous breath. And in the meantime, gives the patient a mandatory ventilation when no spontaneous breath is detected. For SIMV, it's like, with the minimum help of pressure support to ensure the lowest volume of every spontaneous breath, there will be a good concordance between patient and the machine. And when there is no spontaneous breath, they will both act like CMV.
Pretty much spot on. Only thing is that the pressure support doesn't ensure the lowest volume. It is just the assistance to the patients own breath. The patient can potentially take larger breaths than the set Vt when a spontaneous breath is initiated. In these cases, we would probably lower PS to reduce the size closer to our set volume. Otherwise, you definitely understand these 2 modes relating to handling of breaths (mandatory and spontaneous).
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😊
A great vedio ...thank you for your hard work.. i would like to add that pressure support mode also can be used as CMV,SIMV as we can set pressure limit with rr.so then decided number of breaths can be delivered .in PC simv mode pressure support can help patient's breath..,if we want to adjust paCO2 we can change rr or change tidal volume by changing pressure limit..,👍

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.
Iam a registered nurse anaesthetist and I love your teaching ... From Africa_ kenya
very useful video for newly ICU staff, thanks
Yes most definitely!
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!

Love every video I have watched! Honestly best explained on youtube, in regards to drips, vents, physiology. AMazing work! Keep it up
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!
Hundred percent agree with Gabe! 👍👏👏👏
Am learning alot as a critical care student
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!
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!
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.
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.
Haha awesome! Great job getting to this point and I wish you all the best in your pursuits of EM!
Incredibly helpful...dont get what the issue is with 235 people..your content is right on thank you!
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 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.
this was AMAZING, highly recommend (nursing student)
Thank you so much Jacqueline!!
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. 😊
Explained better than my prof at uni. Thank you a lot.
Wow! I really appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks a lot for explaining the content in a clear, understandable way..
Most welcome!
Great Review for work MST / ICU alot of critical care Patients coming in " Ronald Jones RN .
Happy to be able to help!
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!
Wow, I am impressed...wonderful job. Very informative 👏
May God bless you for this masterpiece
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?
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.
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.
Thank you for this useful video, it would be great if you make example patient cases with ventilator
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. :>
Start from 2:00
Thank you..!
Thank you.
I had a relative on a ventilator with neck swelling at high cervical level. Doctors treated him as a terminal case and let the "disease" take its "natural course". They did not provide adequate ventilator support to him.
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.
blood crossmatching
Studying for CRNA interviews. Thanks.
Awesome! Best of luck Jacob
I have no words to thank you dear sir. It was really a tough topic made easy 😎
Really appreciate this! Thank you and glad you liked it.
I was confused about all these modes you made easy for me, but SIMV Mode looks much better than Assist Control for me cause when a patient is intubated sedated and paralysed it is better to put the patient in SIMV mode than ASSIST. control Cause if the patient is not taking spontaneous breaths because he is completely sedated and paralysed then SIMV will act like Assist control right?
So, if I do understand this correctly.
AC means gives the patient a full Vt whenever the patient give a spontaneous breath. And in the meantime, gives the patient a mandatory ventilation when no spontaneous breath is detected.
For SIMV, it's like, with the minimum help of pressure support to ensure the lowest volume of every spontaneous breath, there will be a good concordance between patient and the machine.
And when there is no spontaneous breath, they will both act like CMV.
Pretty much spot on. Only thing is that the pressure support doesn't ensure the lowest volume. It is just the assistance to the patients own breath. The patient can potentially take larger breaths than the set Vt when a spontaneous breath is initiated. In these cases, we would probably lower PS to reduce the size closer to our set volume. Otherwise, you definitely understand these 2 modes relating to handling of breaths (mandatory and spontaneous).
Thank you very much for your effort
You really helped me alot in understanding such a difficult topic
Awesome. happy to hear this and glad the video was helpful for you!
Thanks a lot iam surgeon trying to develop surgical icu picu your class very helpful thank you
Exciting! Glad you enjoyed the video and best of luck on your endeavor!
Thank you! I’m new to ICU with no experience. This video really helps. Do you happen have power point slides?
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😊
Glad this was able to help!
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.
A great vedio ...thank you for your hard work.. i would like to add that pressure support mode also can be used as CMV,SIMV as we can set pressure limit with rr.so then decided number of breaths can be delivered .in PC simv mode pressure support can help patient's breath..,if we want to adjust paCO2 we can change rr or change tidal volume by changing pressure limit..,👍
Very cool info. Thanks for sharing! Definitely so much complexity in how we can operate with different modes.
awesome clarity in the explanations ..great help...thanks a lot
Glad to hear you think so! You are very welcome.
Thank you...makes much sense compared to reading the textbook
Awesome! Glad to hear this.
New here tonight after another corona gate shift super helpful! Not sure if you briefly mention high flow ....
