Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Pressure support breaths are flow-cycled on the Drger Babylog 8000+ at 15 of peak flow.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The mandatory breaths in the synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation mode on the Dr-ger Babylog 8000 are either time-triggered or patient-triggered. Patient-triggering is accom-plished by volume, when a patient's spontaneous inspiratory volume is equal to or greater than the set trigger volume.
