HINTS Exam for Vertigo Explained - Head Impulse, Nystagmus, Test of Skew - Clinical Skills - Dr Gill

Thank you doctor for the nice video, but I have a question, what kind of watch is yours?

I suffer with Vertigo so really looking forward to this! 😵‍💫

👁👄👁

Very interesting and explanation of utmost precision. Thank you. Do you have any video on allergies and their effects? I have a friend who keeps sneezing and she has always been given paracetamol and Piriton. It has been 3 years now since she has this symptom and took the risk of consuming allercet without prescription. Could you please help. Thank you.

I love these blogs! Dr Gill is cute also!

I have vertigo and it's sucks so bad. Some days it's takes forever to stop others I have to sleep or I'll get sick all day

I burst out at laughing at the sudden Labyrinth reference.

I really have no business watching these. I’m a property insurance agent who has literally no exposure to the medical field except yearly checkups, but I LOVE watching your videos. They’re surprisingly soothing, and they help me relax and fall asleep. And on the occasion that I do stay awake throughout the whole thing, I always learn something new, which is really cool. So thank you for the content! I’m looking forward to your next video!!

Great video! Couldn’t directly watch him being spun around in the chair though do to my proprioception issues making me dizzy if I did (thanks sensory processing disorder) so I only half watched from the side while mainly focusing on you, kind of ironic in my opinion though considering the video topic lol…

Pretty sure the patient is freshly shaven John Oates.

They did this when I was diagnosed with vestibular migraines

I've had vertigo since 2015

I'm a nurse and sometimes I wish I had your voice. I'm unintentionally loud and I feel bad sometimes. Not always great for bedside manner 🤣

I have suffered from vertigo since 2014 and have had utterly terrifying experiences with it including a vestibular migraine related one.

Would have loved a video like this.

I’m blind and get extreme vertigo.

Showing people with the symptoms is such a good addition.

Jimbo, I want you to be my GP ♥️

This man is the bob ross of the medical field, both career paths I have no business watching but I can’t turn it off!!

I thought it was Han Solo 😅😅

I like your plant

I miss the days when these videos were more examination and less discussion

Why are you whispering?

Nystagmus predicted this, you know

Hello Dr. I wanted to ask u if u can do video regarding lymph nodes. I have a lymph node in right side of my throat close to my thyroid. It started all off after I had covid last year in July 2021. Since then my lump is still there and trouble swallowing. I been for ultrasound in hospital they said is nothing to worry about and should clear off within couple weeks but it's been months now and nothing improved. What could it be? Does it need to be removed or is there anything that can be done about it?

I would love to attend whatever medical school Dr Gill offers instruction and education at.

Omg your the best doc ever I learned so much from you I'm going to medical school thx you doctor gill your the best

Dr! When first out break of Covid hit i had to find something. I found you! For this i thank you. You have been and truthfully are being a saving grace.

Hello Dr.Gills,
I get motion sickness like symptoms sometimes even when I am not travelling, at first there was ringing in my right ear too and then dizziness and pain in back of head with nausea. What could be the cause and is there any solution to my condition?

Watching from Ottawa, different Ottawa! But named after the same prairie tribe that got run up to Canada.

Vertigo and panic attacks.

Sounds like ttpical alcoholism.

Sir I suffered vertigo last one month ago. some days is normal but someday suddenly dizziness spinning and vomiting.pls guide

Dr sorry for that bur your glasses are crooked, left side higher than right side. Greetings from an optician and optometrist ☻

your voice is so soothing lol

Thank you ..watching from the Philippines

This video is nothing short of exceptional. I don’t think I’ve seen another video that detailed why the hints shouldn’t be performed in certain patient groups.
Have you sorted your Audio now? I did see a video where you had a lav mic on but still seemed to have a large amount of hiss .
Check out the zoom f2 recorder.

I had oto-neurological testing done at the hospital a couple years back when my vertigo was horrid - the spinning was just awful.. although i did find out from the audiologist that i had perfect hearing.. ha ha

The thumbnail is so funny cause it looks like Dr.Gill has his hand ✋ up in his face to disrespect him and the kids looking back at him all scared.

Bonus points for the Bowie reference. <3

Amazing explanation, thank you for explaining hints exam, I am studying vertigo examination for my weekly exam in ENT and I believe it is going to be pretty helpful for not just now but for my next years in medical field.

Hello Sir i am an Vestibular Rehab Specialist sir if a patient have unidirectional Nystagmus like left in the above vedio so which semi circular canal is involved and secondly same side Vestibular means left side Is Affected??

Vestibular neuritis is not inflammation of cranial nerve 7! It is cranial nerve 8! Get your facts right!

I have a patients presenting to the ER with Vertigo and Stroke. He said he has prolonged vertigo and his family said he has Nystagmus. How to differentiate if it is central or peripheral? what test to use?

Why do I wish I was this young man!?! lol l

I have a question concerning Boolean logic - if a patient has only prolonged vertigo but no nystagmus (as opposed to both), is the HINTS exam still indicated? Is nystagmus an essential accompaniment to the vertigo? Thanks for any clarification you can offer!

I'm terribly sorry to say that doc, but you should work with better patients, may i suggest one fine lady called Abbie Tutt, born on 7th of December 1996?
