As an aside, it's worth noting that the benefits of PEEP in ARDS were discovered *accidentally*.
In 1967, two doctors caring for a patient on a ventilatory spotted a knob labeled "expiratory retard" and - not knowing what it did - decided to give it a try. It worked!
Nowadays we call that knob PEEP and it's an indispensable part of mechanical ventilation.

Here's a #physiology teaching case that *everyone* who touches a ventilator needs to understand:
A 60 yo woman is intubated for hypoxemia from pneumonia. She has a SpO2 of 88% on PEEP +12 and 100% FiO2. PEEP is increased to +16 & her SpO2 drops to 80%.
What happened?
