This podcast titled "Understanding Respiratory Failure," outlines several key areas of breakdown of the respiratory system and its function. It provides an extensive overview of respiratory failure, identifying both Type I (hypoxemic) and Type II (hypercapnic) types based on specific blood gas measurements. It systematically details the causes of hypoxemic respiratory failure, including issues like shunt and VQ mismatch, before explaining the principles behind pulse oximetry and crucial calculations such as the Alveolar Gas Equation and the Alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient. Furthermore, it also explores the concepts of oxygen in blood and oxygen transport, connecting these to the causes and management of hypoxia, while also addressing aspects of dead space ventilation and permissive hypercapnia. Finally, the resource concludes with an explanation of capnography and the causes of lactate buildup, providing a robust review of respiratory and oxygenation physiology.

This podcast titled "Understanding Respiratory Physiology," outlines several key areas of the respiratory system and its function. The objectives are to explore gas exchange and transport mechanisms while also reviewing the control of breathing and its clinical relevance. It cover topics ranging from lung development and airway anatomy to the mechanics of lung volumes and pulmonary blood flow. Key physiological concepts discussed include the alveolar capillary unit, surfactant function, blood gas exchange, and the oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve. Finally, the presentation focuses on the central and peripheral control of breathing through various chemoreceptors and reflexes.

This podcast outlines Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV), a mode of mechanical ventilation using two levels of positive airway pressure to improve lung function and encourage spontaneous breathing. It covers the clinical uses of APRV, mainly for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) ,and its contraindications. It explains how APRV works, details how to set and adjust the ventilator, and reviews the supporting evidence, benefits, risks, and practical considerations, including its impact on blood circulation and methods for weaning patients off ventilation.
