Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
C. Correct response: The goals of mechanical ventilatory support of parenchymal lung injury have shifted over the last decade to providing smaller tidal volumes, and accepting consequently lower arterial values for Po2 and the development of respiratory acidosis. These goals have resulted in significant improvements in outcomes.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation C

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
D. Correct response: APRV is a pressure-targeted mode of ventilation. APRV allows for spontaneous breathing to occur during the inflation phase. This capability allows for the use of long inflation times to recruit alveoli while enabling patients to continue to breathe spontaneously. Taken together, the long inflation times (often resulting in intrinsic PEEP) can be considered an alternative way to raise mean pressures and maintain recruitment without applying additional PEEP or Vt.

Did you know?

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
