Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In the presence of dynamic airways obstruction, the application of PEEP offsets the effect of auto-PEEP on missed triggering.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Flow asynchrony can be greatly improved in volume ventilation by increasing peak flow and de-creasing inspiratory time. In pressure ventilation, flow asynchrony can be corrected by adjusting rise time.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
