If the patient develops rapid, shallow breathing, PAV only supports that reduced effort. III. PAV is susceptible to auto-PEEP. IV. In response to increased patient effort, PAV generates increased pressure and flow.
 
  A. I, III only
  B. I, II, III only
  C. I, II, IV only
  D. II, III, IV only

  C. The need for sedation and/or paralysis to achieve patient-ventilator synchrony is greater with PAV.
  D. PAV unloads a greater percentage of the elastic and resistive burden of the respiratory system.
