The amount of pressure required by a ventilator to maintain tidal volume when there is no gas flow is known as:
 
  a. Pplateau. c. peak expiratory pressure.
  b. peak inspiratory pressure. d. Maximum inspira-tory pressure.

Question 2

Patients with restrictive pulmonary disease demonstrate a decrease in which of the following measurements?
 
  1. Vital capacity
  2. Total lung capacity
  3. Forced expiratory flow from 25 to 75 of the vital capacity (FEF25-75)
  4. Ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second to vital capacity (FEV1/VC)
  a. 1 and 2 c. 1 and 4
  b. 2 and 3 d. 3 and 4

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Patients with restrictive pulmonary disease can have decreases in vital capacity and total lung capacity.
