Video Summary

In this video, the attending physician, Michael, is treating a patient named Susan who has had previous exacerbations and struggles with the mask used for non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV). A colleague suggests using Vapotherm high-velocity therapy, which utilizes a comfortable nasal cannula instead of a mask. This therapy reduces the dead space in the airway by continuously flushing out exhaled gas and replacing it with oxygen-rich fresh gas. The high-velocity flow helps with efficient dead space flush and provides ventilatory support. Susan responds well to this treatment, showing improvement in respiratory rate, ABG results, and overall effort. She is discharged the next day.
