IU Critical Care has some AWESOME videos on some pretty complicated topics. They are geared toward the internal medicine residents, but I think any ICU nurse can appreciate them too! After all, who protects the patient from the residents? ;) ARDSnet.org is referenced in this video & is also a great resource!
So my current students are covering advanced respiratory concepts, so here's a few more of my favorite videos. Remember - PEEP is the air left in the lungs at the END of EXPIRATION. With out PEEP, you can see the lung immediately collapse. Imagine this in a disease lung and the work of breathing becomes much more difficult. |
