Day 92: Respiratory – Watch Videos

precise and simple explanations through figures. Easy-to-understand text that is not available in common textbooks.

The crucial points not addressed in textbooks are being made clear.

Dr. Raj gave a nice succinct introduction to mechanical ventilation. The lecture was a primer for other more complex content. I appreciated the connection of high PEEP to pulmonary vascular obstruction giving rise to right heart failure. Given this, it would be helpful to discuss in more detail the pitfalls of excessive PEEP on the pulmonary vascular relative pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure, unless of course this is covered in a future presentation that I haven’t seen yet. Regarding the nursing comments. I can appreciate the difficulty of grasping the nuances of mechanical ventilation as it is a complex topic. There are many variables to consider when a patient is on a ventilator. PEEP, respirator rate, minute ventilation, tidal volumes, dead space, airway pressures, etc. It can easily become a blur; however, I respectfully disagree with the RN comments. RNs working in critical care, including emergency departments are best served when they understand this topic as they will be able to care for their patients more effectively.

Another great video that provided information is exceptionally accurate, precise, and relevant.

This particular lecturer is probably one of the best I have seen on the platform. I really enjoy his style, especially as he asks questions to the class as if you were in a real lecture. He has a wonderful way of delivering the material and makes it easy to understand and intertwine all concepts from anatomy to patho to pharm. Really great to learn from!

Very poor explanations need to provide answers for questions he asks he assumes too much.

I agree. not for nursing students. maybe for med students, but not me.

These lectures are very easy to learn from; instructor gives examples to remember.

It is a good introduction to anatomy and histology of respiratory tree.

Explanation is not logical ,needs improvement in teaching and to incorporate clinical features which hleps in differential diagnosis

Not for nursing students. This guy totally does not keep my interest and he assumes that you know a lot of things that I have never heard of. Horrible lecturer and not for nursing students.

This is definitely not for RN students. This guy just confused me even more. Stop throwing the medical content into the nursing section.

Please remove the medical content from the nursing section. I m tired of Lecturio just throwing the medical content into the nursing section. This OES NOT WORK!!

Enjoyed the lecture so far. Sometimes a little complex, but once I watched it a couple of times, it really sunk in and now I feel like I have more than just a simplistic understanding of the subject

I like the explanation of lung volume loop in normal state to their shifting right or left in disease condition. But,how these loop is formed it lack some explanation.

Excellent ideas and way of teaching Love to attend more coming lectures.

I like the dr. explanation a lot. I love it when dr are brief and simple with their explanation. I love it then he used scenarios to help us remember the information which is really important and makes life easier.

the topic was discussed in a detailed manner but with attention to clinical practice and critical elements. the segments were short enough to reduce fatigue and allow for breaks.

Dr. Raj accent makes it even more pleasurable to hear him. Teaching format counts. Accent is part of it. His rhythm and emphasis also helps. When he wants to emphasize a step in a clinical presentation, his pauses and intonation do help my retaining (I hope)

Dr. Raj is the foundation of my education and my tuition is a lot more expensive than this website.

Dr Raj is very good in his teaching style in preparing students for the USMLE. He has a very good command of the subject. His teaching method is different in the sense that he does not spoon feed and wants the students to think on the material that they have learned in lecture. For those students looking for a lecture material I would recommend John B. West's small books on Respiratory Physiology and Respiratory Pathophysiology.

I cannot give less than 5 stars to any of Dr. Raj's lectures. But I accept that you have to be smart to understand him. His only mistake might be assuming people who lecture to are smart.

I love your teaching style... your flaccid hand visual will be what I use to explain COPD to my patients!

Va muy rápido y confunden con los términos , este video debió tener mas claridad a los términos y con la explicación , un poco mas de profundidad

Another brilliant lecture by doctor Carlo Raj , I like it very much such a great presentation and content is great . A very informative lecture and very memorable. His way of explaining really memorable . Art of teaching I would say . Many thanks and I really wish best of luck all of the lecturio specialists and professors . Also all of admin teams always response promptly.Many thanks indeed.

Love the explanation here about diseases and infections! Will never forget why squamous and small cell carcinomas lie medially now! I also really enjoy the interactive component of your lectures! Keeps me alert even after many hours of study Thanks Dr Raj

this isnt how you see it in books or in real life just made up way to complicate simple concepts

I love his lectures. He seems to make it stick.

to the point. One of my favourite lecturers. Really makes contents stick.

Everything has been described so smoothly . I just wanted to know more about classification of asthma.

It did not provide insight into the actual pathological process leading to asthma. (i.e. the inflammatory mediators involved, the early vs the late phase of Asthma etc.)

I still don't understand. I have played the video so many times. Maybe its just a very hard concept.

The way Dr. Raj build the topic up.. seems like he is also an architect with being a doctor.

Dr raj is a very very good teacher. I really understand many pathiophysiology now

It is clear, well explained and very useful. Totally recommended.

I like the simple way things were explained Sometimes more images to explain a concept would help...have you considered a pointer?

Doctor Raj is the most clear Professor I have ever met in my educational history! Thank you Lecturio! Greetings from Milano, Italy

The content is OK, but Dr. Raj speaks really fast sometimes and makes it difficult to follow him.

I am RTT student and it helps me a lot. Tomorrow we will be introduce this subject. I love the wait Dr. Raj teaches. Great knowledge Thank you

Excellent. ???? . Very well knowledgeable . I am RTT student. I learned a lot more now Thant I learned in one semester ??????

The lecturing courses are amazing - principles are explained using very practical examples - making it easier to understand ????????????????

all the lectures by Dr. Carlo Raj were great for me, hope you guys keep up that way

The vocabulary is understandable and the explanation is thorough and organized.

The best teacher , loop spirometry is now reinforced , thanks to carlo raj

Hi He is explaining in a simple way the pulmonary disorders.

Very easy to understand Lectures. Well Explained. Liked it very much.

Very Well Taught Lecture by Dr Raj, Very Easy to Understand

I can understand why some find this confusing but I think the Venn diagram makes a lot of sense when you do finally understand it!

great lecturer but some lectures present information that is literally incomprehensible

very concise and valuable pearls for the exams and beyond

Great explanation, details, logarithms and discussion. Great lecturer, thanks Dr Raj

You are the best teacher in the world ,thanks for exist

Very clear as always , Superb course , dont trust in the reviewers that rate with 1 star , If they dont understand that is their fault

Very good and easy to remember overview of spirometry reading

Dr Raj is absolutely incredible; respiratory physio/patho is a subject I find very difficult to understand, but when I started to watch Dr Raj's lectures, everything started to slowly make sense. He makes the concepts simple and easy to understand, and he always relates the concepts to their clinical purposes....I just LOVE this professor!

This professor does not explain. I've been trying to dissect all his asthma lectures and it's very hard. it's very incoherent; he jumps concepts and doesn't finish explaining them.

Dr. Raj, you are an amazing teacher! You know how to take a difficult concept and make it very easy to understand. Thank you!

I would recommend this lecture. this intro to asthma did exactly that. it gave a presentation of an actual ER patient with asthma.

Dr Carlo Raj presents the information in a very structured manner that is comprehensive, yet easy to understand. He also touches upon other topics related to the topic of discussion that allows for a more wholesome approach.

I know his teaching style does not suit some people, but I find that he makes references to a lot of previous learning which keeps it fresh and relevant in my mind! Thank you v. much Dr Raj

Why is he not speaking in full sentences? He's talking like Yoda I'm on my free trial and definitely won't be buying a subscription after this

precise explanation given covering high yield facts about asthma diagnosis

I would never get it without you, Dr. Raj! Thank you soooooooooooooo much!!!!!!

He explains it so well, but I wish there was subtitles

You guys have to read the articles and study some things before getting to Dr Carlos videos. He is very fast and dont explain certain terms because you have to know this stuff before watching the video.

Really excellent. Clear, concise and very personable. I find his lectures much better than attending some of my classes. His material and delivery have helped me immensely.

Horrible. Whats even more horrible is that there are previous comments written months ago and Lecturio could care less to correct them. Great job Lecturio in keeping your paying customers happy. Waste of money.

Right to the point, just like we are asked on the exam :) Nice!

The information was presented in a very clear and concise manner.

The lecture is incredibly incoherent, lacks sentence structure and doesn't really make sense

This is a good discussion on COPDs. I could have try to memorize FA one page on COPD without much understanding, but Dr. Raj’s teaching on this material set me up for life.

Explanation is not coherent, does not use full sentences, connections between concepts are not logical. Does not articulate.

Unclear content and so weird method of teaching, there are many alternative ways that could be used to reach the idea more simple

Very good although there are some erros in the quiz. As an exemple, the quiz says that the central receptores are responsive to CO2 when in the physiology course it says that it is in fact responsive to H+ (after a reaction involving CO2). I would recommend some mending in quiz errors.

Its an ok explanation. Should be more detailed and not presume that the studends know certain things! Also, more exercises should be proposed

Very clear explantation. Realy, organized my way of thinking and approach to cases.

Thanks to Dr. Raj, all other lectureres, and Lecturio for such great videos. Absolutely phenomenal job on explaining every topic and I love the quizzes.

It's so precise and it helps my knowledge base for a quick overview and reference. Carlos Raj is amazing

Dr Carlo is good in everything. Summarizes respiratory failure in a simple and easy to understanding way. Also the questions further consolidate the concept. Really enjoyed.

Dr. Raj is the best. Very uplifting and fun to watch, I forget I'm learning.
