Compared to a pressure-controlled strategy, what is the primary advantage of volume-controlled ventilatory support?
 
  a. Provides a decelerating flow pattern.
  b. Limits and controls peak airway pressures.
  c. Improves patient-ventilator synchrony.

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The primary advantage of volume-controlled ventilation is maintenance of a stable minute venti-lation in the face of changing lung mechanics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
PSV can reduce work of breathing and may improve patient ventilator synchrony by placing more control with the patient. Many clinicians use PSV simply to overcome WOB imposed by the artificial airway.
