    this is literally the first time I have heard this explained as a dynamic physiologic process, in different stages throughout the metabolic process, as opposed to a stagnant "state of being". It makes soooooo much more sense now.

    Excellent vid once again and really helped get us listeners more depth on the curve. One thing if I could suggest it is (for us in the UK) it might be nice when talking about partial presures to also add the measurement in kPa as we don't look at it in mmHg. Might help someone but I guess it's not too hard to convert... Thanks again ICU Advntg...

    Hello! This is a great video, thank you!
    I do have a question for you.
    The first example made sense to me and I was able to guess the answer.
    In the second example I am having trouble understanding. You mentioned a patient experiencing metabolic acidosis, and you mentioned that they will have a left shift on this curve. In the context of just left and right shifts on this curve, a right shift would be more beneficial to this patient due to end tissue being more likely to receive oxygen right? I know there is more to the example than just the curve, so here are my further thoughts:
    You had mentioned that the patient would have a left shift (increase in O2 affinity) due to compensation for metabolic acidosis (so resp alkalosis - increased respiratory rate to increase the amount of CO2 exhaled, which would in turn cause more O2 to be inhaled) So is the increased O2 levels in the alveoli d/t increased RR what would increase the affinity for O2 and subsequently the left shift? Or is it because the lungs typically have a left shift? I feel as though there is something I'm not quite grasping.

  • @nataliafernandez-montenegr8936
    @nataliafernandez-montenegr8936 2 роки тому +2

    Wait I’m confused with what you say at 14:14, so if a patient is in metabolic acidosis and we correct said acidosis, we would make it harder for tissue to get O2? But shouldn’t we still need to correct the acidosis?

    • @kalaowens1865
      @kalaowens1865 2 роки тому +2

      it depends on the patient. sometimes they will allow what's called "permissive hypercapnia" in certain patients because the increased level of CO2 allows for them to perfuse better because oxygen is more readily available with higher partial pressure of CO2 or decreased pH. However, if the patient is extremely unstable because of their acidosis, it would not benefit them because hemodynamic instability will negatively impact their perfusion. So they might not have oxygen as readily available in a leftward shift, but they are able to utilize that oxygen that is bound more efficiently because they are hemodynamically stable.
      I hope that makes sense, I am not an expert so if I am wrong, someone else definitely chime in hahaha

    • @ICUAdvantage
      @ICUAdvantage  2 роки тому +1

      So Kala is right on.
      I was merely mentioning about this scenario and the consequences of such. We certainly, and often do, allow a slight acidosis and usually don't correct past 7.2 as the body tolerates this well. That said, if they are 7.1, 7.0 or less, we are going to need to correct this back towards 7.2 but it is important to know there will be consequences too that will need to be accounted for.
      In one example, we may need to increase DO2 to compensate for this. Perhaps increased perfusion from more effective pressors in a less acidic environment might be enough to do this, but we may also need to increased FiO2 or PEEP being delivered.
      Sorry for the confusion, but I just gave a couple examples to know that there are "down stream" effects from the things we do and that we need to think of these to be able to anticipate other potential issues that come up. Sometimes we are damned if we do and damned if we don't.

    I've just survived extremely low haemoglobin levels of 3.1g/dL or 31 g/L in the UK, where i am. I got released today and have been in since last Tuesday. My heart was failing, my ankles swelled right up and i could only walk a few steps before i was gasping for air. This has happened very slowly over the last 2 years, my GP thought it was my COPD getting worse, but sent me for a blood test for my liver function and a CT scan last December. I've just had another CT scan on Friday and all is clear, i'm waiting for a gastroscopy as an out patient. I might not of been up taking enough iron as i had 4 units of blood and an iron infusion and at my last blood test it was only at 8.9 g/dL or 89 g/L UK on Saturday as i'm very hard to get blood out of, i'm like a stone. They've put me on iron tablets and everything should go back to normal within the next week. I'm lucky to be alive as it was 1 of the lowest levels they've ever seen, 1 DR told me the only lower test they've seen was in a 96 year old who passed away at 2.6.

    I've always had a problem in understanding what exactly is PaO2. So if I'm correct it is the arterial content of O2, so the dissolved O2 seen as a pressure. It doesn't represent the amount of O2 on hemoglobin? We use PaO2 as 'the given amount of oxygen' on the X-axis, but how does a PaO2 decide the saturation, is it a kind of marker of how much O2 enters the body through the lung? I'm overthinking this, but I've always struggled with these basics.

    • @ICUAdvantage
      @ICUAdvantage  2 роки тому

      Great question Kelsey.
      I think its probably less of a concern on the ear. I haven't seen much evidence though in the way of an inaccuracies with that or the forehead even. I know in personal experience the forehead has been tough to get to read with a finger sticky probe.
      I guess ultimately, if we have the equipment that is designed for that spot, use it, otherwise, if its all we have, well its all we have. And I'm sure we aren't going this route because things are working fine on a finger or toe lol.
      Whenever in doubt, wait until you have a good reading and a good pleth and then compare that to an ABG and that'll tell you if its accurate.

    you are making a big mistake here , Oxygen saturation measures how much hemoglobin is currently bound to oxygen compared to how much hemoglobin remains unbound not how much oxygen is bound to the Hb simply it is the amount of Hb bound to oxygen not the amount of oxygen bound to Hb.
