What are some primary uses for pressure-supported ventilation (PSV)? 1. Recruiting collapsed alveoli and improving oxygenation 2. Augmenting patient's spontaneous VT 3. Overcoming the imposed work of breathing
 
  a. 1 and 2 only
  b. 1 and 3 only
  c. 2 and 3 only
  d. 1, 2, and 3

Question 2

A patient switched from pressure-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV)
 
  with positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) to pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation (PC-IRV) shows a good improvement in PaO2 but a decrease in tissue oxygenation. Which of the following best explains this observation?
  a. High mean pressures caused by PC-IRV decreased pulmonary blood flow.
  b. Intrinsic PEEP caused by PC-IRV result-ed in increased alveolar recruitment.
  c. High mean pressures caused by PC-IRV decreased cardiac output.
  d. Intrinsic PEEP caused by PC-IRV com-pressed the pulmonary capillaries.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Since the first description of PSV in 1982, it has been used either to overcome the imposed re-sistance associated with the artificial airway or to provide ventilatory support with minimal con-trol.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Although some studies have shown improvement in oxygenation with PC-IRV versus CMV with PEEP, others have shown concurrent decreases in cardiac output.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
