Which of the following is false about flow-triggered ventilatory support?
 
  a. The work of breathing with flow trigger-ing is less than with pressure triggering.
  b. Flow-triggered systems respond to chang-es in flow rather than pressure.
  c. Pressure triggering on new ventilators may be as sensitive as flow-triggering.
  d. Flow triggering will decrease the work of breathing in patients with small endotra-cheal tubes and auto-PEEP.

Question 2

Which of the following is false about flow triggering of spontaneous breaths during mechanical ventilation?
 
  a. Flow triggering lowers the patient's work of breathing.
  b. Flow triggering is preferred for initiating spontaneous breaths.
  c. Flow triggering reduces the work of breathing due to small endotracheal tubes.
  d. Flow triggering results in better pa-tient-ventilator synchrony.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Flow triggering may not be effective in reducing work of breathing because of the presence of a small endotracheal tube or auto-PEEP.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Flow triggering may not be effective in reducing work of breathing because of the presence of a small endotracheal tube or auto-PEEP.
