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%!
What happened?

Before we get into the answer, let's make it interesting with some multiple choice.
Which mechanism(s) could cause worsening hypoxemia with increasing PEEP?

3/x open the app and āsign upā. Here you will pic a server. For most #TwitteRx folks thatās med-mastodon.com. Search for it and give it time to āpop upā.
Then create your email and password.
Then create your email and password.
Thousands have made the jump from #MedTwitter to #MedMastodon!
One issue Iāve heard is āI canāt get the app to workā or āI canāt find the serverā
Good news: there are many mobile apps to choose from. Personally I think Meta-text & Tooot are easier to setup.
Hereās how.š§µ

2ļøā£If you prefer an app, you can choose from many options in the App Store.
Personally, I like Metatext; itās open source, free, no ads, & doesnāt collect any user data!

Nomenclature question: what do you call it if someone has an elevated PaCO2?
1/
1/
Medically they are synonyms. Both terms - hyperCAPNia & hyperCARBia - *mean* the same thing: having an increased PaCO2.
But the difference is a really big deal if you are a linguist.

Etymologically, there is a (silly) difference:
Hypercapnia comes from the Greek word hyper (high) + the Greek word kapnos (smoke); both Greek roots š
Hypercapnia comes from the word Greek hyper + the *Latin* word Carbos (meaning charcoal); 1 Greek + 1 Latin root š

What is #MedMastodon & why might we need it?
A short thread explaining what it is & why I think itās time to consider moving to a free, self-moderated medical community as a #MedTwitter alternative.

Despite its flaws I think Twitter is a great platform for medicine/science.
Itās a fantastic way to follow breaking news & scientific pubs. Itās a great way to hear what brilliant people think. It can be an OK way to engage in debate.
Iām a better doc because of #MedTwitter

Where else can you see the moment impactful research is published? Or hear the authors explain it & discuss with them?
Where else can you hear about the experience of colleagues around the world?
Iāve learned a lot and made some great friends IRL on here.
