How the blood goes round sounds simple. It isn’t.
• Pressure does not drive flow.
• Preload is not a driver of cardiac output.
• Equations and graphs describe a system without explaining what controls it.
• Flow is governed by two constraints: delivery and acceptance.

Does PEEP matter?
"... individualised positive end-expiratory pressure ⬇️ driving pressures & improved intra-operative oxygenation but did not decrease the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in older adults undergoing lung cancer surgery."

During caesarean delivery under spinal anaesthesia, maintaining maternal systolic BP > 90% of baseline, compared with > 80% of baseline, with boluses of noradrenaline reduces the incidence of neonatal acidaemia, maternal hypotension and nausea and vomiting.

There are multiple potential sources of nitrous oxide mix emissions and potential mitigations.
Metal–organic frameworks could be used to capture exhaled nitrous oxide in the clinical environment.
What are the implications of this technology?
