Pulmonary Edema: An Indie Pop Anthem

Medical students are turning pulmonary edema into an indie pop anthem and it's actually genius.

This Spanish song breaks down exactly how your lungs drown from the inside out.

It starts with pressure building in the heart's atrium, the ventricle falling behind,

capillaries leaking under stress. The interstitium floods, lymphatics can't

keep up, and suddenly your alveoli are drowning. The chorus hits hard with drowning

alveoli, gas trapped outside, hypoxemia rising without warning. Verse two dives

deeper into oncotic pressure dropping, albumin retreating, surfactant melting away,

compliance falling. Whether it's cardiogenic or alveolar damage, both paths lead to the same disaster.
