And if you see someone on vent a ventilator in the hospital, if you watch every couple of minutes that you'll see the membrane move up and down, every couple of minutes there'll be a super breath and that pops it open.

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

But there was a relatively high mortality rate. It was a bit of a mystery and one solution was to just give bigger breaths. They gave bigger breaths and the mortality rate dropped. And it wasn't until I think it was the 50s where they realized that they didn't have to increase every breath to be big. What they needed to do is every so often they to have one big breath. So they have a couple of minutes of normal breaths and then one big breath just mimicking the physiological size. And there the mortality rate drops significantly.
