Respiratory Therapy - What is a Shunt?

Pass your TMC and CSE with help from The Respiratory Coach Academy. ►Visit respiratorycoach.com for more information. In this video, we break down the concept of shunt physiology—what it is, how it occurs when perfusion exceeds ventilation, and why it leads to poor oxygenation despite adequate blood flow. Through clear visuals and straightforward explanation, you’ll build a solid understanding of how this impacts gas exchange and why it’s essential knowledge for both board exams and clinical reasoning. 🎬 Plus! Don’t miss the trailer for our brand new reality respiratory therapy show, The Shift, premiering October 19th on the Respiratory Coach YouTube channel!
