Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The ejection fraction is a derived variable that provides an estimate of ventricular contractility. The systemic vascular resistance is an indicator of left ventricular afterload. Pulmonary vascular resistance indicates right ventricular afterload. Left ventricular stroke work reflects the pressure generated by the heart during a ventricular contraction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Desired VT Known PaCO2 Known VT / Desired PaCO2
