This podcast is a continuation of Episode 65 which was an introduction to ventilator physiology. In Part 2, I focus on CPAP and PEEP while making tons of integrations with how they affect multiple pulmonary and cardiovascular parameters. This is a classic source of “physiology arrow questions” on the USMLE exams. I also end with a life lesson on fulfilling your dreams the right way.

Divine Intervention Episode 510: Obstructive Sleep Apnea and It’s Many Integrations (Step 1-3)
OSA is commonly tested on the USMLE exams. But they also love using this as a topic to hit a bunch of other concepts that people do not think about. In this podcast, I address these concepts and also make a solid effort to help you understand the material.
Divine Intervention Episode 439: Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis
Do you struggle with understanding normal and high anion gap metabolic acidosis? This series is exactly what you need. In this first part, I lay the requisite foundation. In the next part, I will focus on examples. This is certainly a super HY topic for all the USMLEs!
Divine Intervention Episode 425: Pulmonary Pathophysiology Series 13
In this podcast, I continue our in depth review of pulmonology with a discussion of CO2 mechanics and obstructive lung disease.
Divine Intervention Episode 422: Pulmonary Pathophysiology Series 12
In this podcast, I continue our pulm review with a detailed discussion of ventilation and perfusion related ideas.
Divine Intervention Episode 421: Pulmonary Pathophysiology Series 11
In this podcast, we continue our discussion on pulmonology. As a pro-tip, the stuff covered here is floridly HY for all the USMLE exams (and the peds shelf). Make sure you understand the physiology discussed in this podcast.
Divine Intervention Episode 419: Pulmonary Pathophysiology Series 10
In this super HY podcast, I delve deep into the physiology of hypoxemia and pay special attention to helping you understand the A-a gradient. I end with a life lesson on the importance of critical thinking.
Divine Intervention Episode 418: Pulmonary Pathophysiology Series 9
In this podcast, I continue our pulmonary pathophysiology series with a discussion of some ideas relating to ventilation and perfusion. Make sure you understand these as they are very frequently tested on the USMLE exams.
Divine Intervention Episode 417: Pulmonary Pathophysiology Series 8
In this podcast, I continue our series on pulmonary pathophysiology with a discussion on pulmonary vascular resistance and its physiologic/pathophysiologic integrations.
Divine Intervention Episode 411: The Clutch Sarcoidosis Podcast
Sarcoidosis is a common multi system pathology tested on all the USMLE/COMLEX exams. In this short podcast, I elaborate on what you need to know, describe pathophysiology, and make integrations with different body systems.
