  A. Vt equaling Vd
  B. ventilationperfusio n matching
  C. mean airway pressure

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
B. Correct response: Alveolar-capillary gas transport ring HFV depends on matching alveolar ventilation and pulmonary capillary perfusion.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation B.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A. Correct response: Jet or oscillator tidal breaths are usually small and are often less than the patient anatomic dead space volume. The relationship between effective alveolar ventilation and the respiratory rate (VA= fVt  Vd) becomes meaningless when the Vt is less than the Vd.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
