Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The mean airway pressure alarm greater than 50 cm H2O is activated if the mean airway pressure rises above 50 cm H2O for any reason. When this alarm is activated, the dump valve opens, caus-ing the oscillator to stop.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
With the sensor in place, AutoFlow functions in the continuous mandatory ventilation, synchro-nized intermittent mandatory ventilation, and mandatory minute ventilation modes.
