Nice video and overview of DIC. I am a Paramedic and encounter patients that are septic and have DIC at times so was nice to review. Thanks!

[MrBonAndrey]

I'm taking the local board exam here in the Philippines.Thanks for these kinds of videos,it helps a lot!

[hi808ih]

great lesson. one question, is that picture during s/sx petechiae or purpura?

[Rayyan36]

i believe that PT/PTT should be decreased

[simonw00t]

@Rayyan36 They are actually both increased (prolonged clotting time) because all of your coagulation factors are being used up so rapidly

[Rayyan36]

@simonw00t yes, i came to know it :)) .. thank you indeed for your reply

[danilesmes]

great explanation... thank you!!

[amiosa35]

ed4nurses is THE BEST way to get the whole picture..he's right, you will "get it".

[crashxxbrn]

Oh my god, thank you! My book did a terrible job in explaining this, but you made it MAKE SENSE!!!!

[TheDeathcoreGamer]

I love how this was a related link from the DIC logo.

[gramig0]

I've been a nurse for a long time and this is such a great review, thank you!

[Norb1t9]

I really wish you can teach my school!

[mmuruatetu]

Awesome explanation....

[loloxinhaa]

great video, helped me a lot along with my readings about DIC! thanks! keep up the good job =)

[laimezify]

I always believe that being a nurse is more than a profession... it's a vocation! Not all nurses are good in what they do, because only those with real passion deliver nursing care best!... So if you're not really into the course, better quit so you wont regret in the end, & so you won't harm other's lives. Of course there are some who get to like the job along the process...

So thanks for this helpful video, means a lot to nurses like myself. ^^

[magickunderpants]

becoming a nurse was the biggest mistake of my life I graduated a year ago with a BSN from a top 50 program anyone thinking of going into nursing do not do it

[ed4nurses]

@magickunderpants Becoming a nurse was the BEST decision I ever made, but I realize that it is not for everyone. I know that a lot of my students go to nursing school because they are looking for job security or for the money they can earn in nursing. If you are not passionate about helping people, then nursing will never be a good career choice. For those who are passionate about helping others, nursing offers endless possibilities for service.

[Wetnrse]

@ed4nurses Very Well said...u have to have passion for helping others to be in this field. I started as a CNA, then became an EMT-D, then got my LPN and am now finishing my LPN to RN program, i get paid to do what i love, I couldn't imagine doing anything else...thanks for your great videos they helped me when I couldn't "get it"..hope to catch a class of your's one day!

[SolusChristus01]

@ed4nurses I'm glad to see a male nurse in the position you are in. I'm highly impressed with your knowledge and hope to someday be as good of a nurse as you. What are the abbreviations CNS and CEN after your name?

[passt2008]

@ed4nurses You have a vested interest and your opinion is very biased since your job depends on people making the wrong career choice. The job market is oversaturated with passionate people who want to help others.

[GingerDemarque]

@magickunderpants

why would you say that? I am in a BSN programme right now.

[Norb1t9]

@magickunderpants Of course when life don't go as planned you had to blame someone right? It is sad that people like you go into nursing because we both know you're in it for the job security. Sorry to say this, but we all need to take responsibility for own actions, and if you cannot find what you're looking for then you're obviously need to change that.

[gramig0]

@magickunderpants ahhahaaaaaaaaaaa.......you gotta be kidding? You didn't realize until you graduated that nursing wasn't for you? ahhaaa haa haaa lol. Stop now before you really hurt somebody.

[kgolden1975]

@magickunderpants why you waste your time going thats your fault if you went four years for nothing some ppl actually want to be nurses dont discourage anyone,

[BodybuildingLion1984]

@magickunderpants I know how you feel. Im going into nursing and personal training because I love to exercise, help people live healthy lives, and it's a fulfilling a career. Going to auto mechanical school was the biggest mistake of my life because I wasn't honest with myself about what I really wanted in life and im still paying that price today and that was six years ago. Find out what you really love doing and do it!

[MrsRedKarma]

@magickunderpants You should have realized WAAAAYYYYYY before graduation that it wasn't for you. That's pretty scary.

RN, BSN

[magickunderpants]

@MrsRedKarma never said it was not for me. I know once we get rid of the Kenyan in the White House and put a real American in power the economy will get better and I will get a job. Had I graduated one year earlier I would have had a job offer and sign on bonus. Once B. Hussein Obama got elected the hospitals stopped hiring new grads and did away with sign on bonuses.

[MrsRedKarma]

@magickunderpants It's pretty sad that you blame your inability to get a job ... as a nurse... on our President. I have been an RN for some years now and I have not seen ANY decline in the presence of new grad nurses in the hospitals that I've worked in. Yes the economy is bad right now, but nursing remains one of the most secure and lucrative careers despite that fact. I wonder where and for what areas you have applied to? And as far as the sign on bonus, it's a privilege, not a priority.

[magickunderpants]

@MrsRedKarma what part of the country do you work at? I live in Ohio and every hospital I apply to tells me go work a year somewhere else and they will consider me for an interview. I went to a top 50 CON the university is a top 25 public research university with it's own hospital system and even former prof. tell me many new grads can't find work. I even went on an academic scholarship and the hospital system that my university owns will not even consider me for an interview.

[olushogo]

Even the dog is your house is sleeping and not responding to you, its Obama that caused it. What of your car that never starts? Its Obama that caused it. The real American that was there for 8 years and the whole economy deteriorated..? You didn't think of that one but just bcs a black man is now the president, he is the cause of all your life;s problem. I am so dissapointed in a lot of you who have not grown up into the real world. Yall are still fighting the civil war in your mind.

@olushogo you sound like a complete moron lol...

[kenpochic1980]

@olushogo you sound like a complete moron lol...



[olushogo]

@kenpochic1980 That is part of the filthy language im talking about. No home training from any where. I pity you a lot. May God have mercy on you. It maybe moronic to you because you dont like to hear the truth. The TRUTH is very bitter.

[SaveYoshi]

I'm a few weeks into RN school, this is really helpful.

[cheethaj]

This was a great presentation but, I am confused as to why heparin would be used instead of a thrombolyic such as t-PA or steptokinase.

[sourcow56]

@cheethaj

TPA dissolves clots that may cause heart attacks or stroke. It must be used within 3 hours of symptoms occurrence, any later would lead to hemorrhage of the brain, GU and GI (& we want to prevent this).  [Its action is to convert plasminogen to plasmin; which degrades fibrin.] With Heparin, you prevent the occurrence of the clots formation. Body uses up all the platelets (by making those clots) now bleeding occurs. -Vallerand, D. (2009). Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses. 11th ed.

[cheethaj]

@sourcow56

Thank you for the explanation. I am a first year RN student and I wasn't sure why you wouldn't just bust the clots. That makes sense though.

[TheMichelleRobinson]

Thank you!

[saudim46]

love his smile haha

[HoneiiDiiva]

ALOT TO LEARN... i'm a future RN

[YUOTUBEJUNKIE]

inflammation causing clotting most easily seen in a patient with sepsis. platelets and perfusion decrease r/t clotting and bleeding at the same time. ischemia and organ dysfunction may result. don't forget dx tests - d-dimers & PTT. treat the underlying disorder to avoid DIC - give Heparin! I think that about covers it. Good job, David Woodruff. Think I'll watch it again and again and again. :) :)

[sugba2sugbo]

how about warfarin...? then heparin

[sugba2sugbo]

how about warfarin then heparin or heparin then warfarin... which is which...?

[RNsoontobe77]

warfarin is PO so takes longer to get a therpeutic response where heparin is IV and is very rapid to treat DIC! Hope this helps.

[Azotobacter88]

@sugba2sugbo Coumadin has a longer therapeutic onset. Heparin is short-term, which is more appropriate in this state. :)

[medicareer]

Thank you for good information. I will post this medicareer com au to share with friends
