We have lost a giant in the field of mechanical ventilation. He published numerous landmark papers, but most importantly inspired so many of us to read, understand and study physiology. I have never met someone who is so passionate about his about. We will miss him so much.

Great physiological paper that helps to understand mechanisms of dyspnea (mostly air hunger!). Both during invasive ventilation and unassisted breathing
