Neurocritical Care Review Course-Respiratory

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Rhonda Cadena discusses various topics related to neurocritical care, including airway management, pulmonary physiology, mechanical ventilation, and pulmonary diseases such as ARDS, COPD, asthma, PE, and pulmonary edema. She presents a case study of a patient with myasthenia gravis and respiratory distress to illustrate the decision-making process in airway management. She discusses the importance of a thorough airway assessment before intubation and outlines the steps involved in the intubation process. Dr. Cadena explains the basics of ventilators, including pressure control and volume control modes, and discusses the importance of monitoring techniques such as waveform analysis and, entidal carbon dioxide monitoring. She also discusses pulmonary function tests and the concepts of gas exchange and ventilation-perfusion mismatch. Lastly, she briefly discusses the management of specific conditions such as asthma, COPD, neurogenic pulmonary edema, and pulmonary embolism.
