ICU Rounds Masterclass | Ventilators, ABGs, Feeding, Prophylaxis and Extubation

ICU rounds require a structured approach to respiratory failure, ventilator management, arterial blood gases, nutrition, prophylaxis, sedation, and extubation readiness. In this video, we review a practical ICU rounds framework for evaluating critically ill patients and organizing daily decision-making at the bedside. Topics covered include: • How to present mechanical ventilation on rounds • Ventilator settings and daily ventilator assessment • Arterial blood gas interpretation during ICU rounds • Oxygenation and ventilation goals • Spontaneous awakening trials and spontaneous breathing trials • Extubation readiness and liberation from mechanical ventilation • Enteral feeding and nutrition in the ICU • Stress ulcer prophylaxis • Practical bedside considerations for critically ill patients 0:00 - 20:58 - How to present mechanical ventilation 20:59 - 46:20 - Basics of mechanical ventilation (PEEP, RR, FiO2, Tidal Volume) 46:21 - 1:10:31 - ABG and VBG Interpretation and Comparison 1:10:32 - 1:40:30 - Stress Ulcer Prophylaxis 1:40:31 - 2:11:58 - Feeding in the ICU 2:11:59 - 2:41:09 - Spontaneous Breathing Trials and Extubation Readiness 🌐 WhiteBoard Medicine Website Explore our growing library of critical care and emergency medicine content: https://www.whiteboardmedicine.com 🎧 WhiteBoard Medicine Podcast Prefer audio?
