Here's a physiology case that *everyone* who touches a ventilator needs to understand:
A 60 yo woman is intubated for hypoxemia from multifocal pneumonia.
She has a SpO2 of 89% on PEEP +12 and 100% FiO2.
PEEP is increased to +16 & her SpO2 drops to 80%!

This article sums up beautifully how a hundred little choices and changes contribute to how perfect an adaptation the TV show of @neilhimself's The Sandman really is. https://t.co/rfLOdBYXD3
The Feynman Technique is a unique learning method that prioritizes simplicity to create depth of understanding.
It is named after Richard Feynman—an American theoretical physicist who won the Nobel Prize in 1965 for his groundbreaking work in quantum electrodynamics.
Mechanism
💥⬇️K+➡️K+ exit from cells
💥counterbalanced by protons in = intracellular acidosis, which stimulates the NA-H exchanger (NHE3) in the proximal tubule to restore normal pH = sodium retention
