    Ventilating Severe Acidosis: ResusX edition!

    Running back my talk from ResusX about ventilating severe acidosis! I try to approach this from a pragmatic perspective! Nothing will work great so just do the least bad thing!!

    Pressure Control 2 Webinar Sample : Abnormal Waveforms!

    In this episode of Peak Inspiration, we’re bringing you a high-yield excerpt from the Pressure Control Part 2 webinar, focused on one of the most practical skills in mechanical ventilation—recognizing abnormal waveforms. We break down how to interpret pressure, flow, and volume waveforms through the lens of the equation of motion, helping you pinpoint whether the issue lies in resistance, compliance, or patient effort. Instead of memorizing patterns, this episode teaches you how to think through the waveform so you can quickly identify what’s wrong at the bedside. If you’ve ever looked at a ventilator and felt like something was off but couldn’t quite explain why, this episode will sharpen that instinct and give you a framework you can apply immediately.

    Autotrigger & the Airway Occlusion Pressure

    When the ventilator triggers a breath the patient didn't ask for, something has gone wrong. In this episode we dig into autotrigger: why it happens, how to spot it at the bedside, and the cascade of harm it can set off when it goes unrecognized. Then we turn to one of the most underused numbers on the ventilator screen: the airway occlusion pressure (P0.1). This 100-millisecond window into the respiratory drive tells you things that tidal volume and respiratory rate simply can't — how hard the brainstem is working before flow has even begun. We break down the physiology behind it, walk through how to measure and interpret it, and explore how P0.1 can serve as both a trigger-sensitivity troubleshooting tool and a real-time gauge of patient effort and diaphragm load. Along the way we tackle practical questions: what P0.1 thresholds should raise concern, how autotrigger and elevated drive interact with patient-ventilator asynchrony, and when you should let the number change your clinical decisions. Whether you're a fellow just getting comfortable with modes and waveforms or an experienced intensivist looking for a sharper framework, this episode gives you a cleaner mental model for one of ventilation's trickier corners.

    Intro to the Mechanical Ventilator!

    Intro to mechanical ventilation is out now. This is a true starting point. No fluff, no overcomplication just the fundamentals you actually need when you’re at the bedside making decisions. We break downWhat each ventilator setting actually doesHow to choose initial settings without guessingVolume vs pressure modes in a way that finally clicksHow to recognize when things are going wrong early You can find the full episode for FREE on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts Search “The Peak Inspiration” or find it through @pulmtoilet If you watch or listen, I’d genuinely like to hear what you think.What made sense, what didn’t, and what you want covered next.

    Emergency Pod on Surviving Sepsis Guidelines!

    Sepsis care keeps evolving but not always in ways that feel clean or universally agreed upon. In this episode, I break down the latest Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines what actually changed, what didn’t, and what matters at the bedside when the patient in front of you is crashing. We focus on two of the most debated areas right now: Prehospital antibiotics: Are we truly helping patients or just moving the needle earlier without improving outcomesBlood cultures before antibiotics: Dogma vs reality when time, access, and patient stability are working against youThis isn’t a guideline summary. It’s a practical discussion about where the evidence is strong, where it’s weak, and where clinicians are still forced to make judgment calls in real time. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re practicing evidence-based medicine or just following momentum, this episode is for you.
