Grateful for the opportunity from @atiya_dhala to give a talk today on #PEEPtitration in #ARDS at the #ISAC2026 @Methodistpccm
Here are the major take-home points:
We’ve been taught to fear #PEEP because of the RV.
But the real problem isn’t PEEP.
It’s the wrong PEEP.

Excited to share our latest, now published in @ATSScholar 🫁

HPI: 60F w/ a PMH of GPA (aka Wegener's), EGPA (aka Churg-Strauss), IgA vasculitis (aka HSP), reactive arthritis (aka Reiter's), T2DM (aka NIDDM), and PMOS (aka PCOS)…
New name for PCOS. The new name makes pathophysiological sense but, like all these name changes, will lead to more confusion than clarity. Some of us will use the old name and some the new. Notes over time will be inconsistent and confusing to providers. Patients will get lost in all the letters. I'm not sure this is a net positive change.
Wrapping up two incredible weeks on MICU @Methodistpccm 🏥 Grateful for an amazing team that made every long day worth it. Learned so much, laughed even more, and maybe spotted a 🦢 here and there. This one’s going in the memory book. 📸 #MedTwitter #MICU

I wrote this in a moment I never would have chosen. A sudden pause that made me see my life clearly.
The meaning of our work is profound. This experience simply helped me see more clearly what matters most.

Bottom line:
✅ We don’t cause RV failure by using PEEP.
✅ We cause it by using the wrong PEEP.
