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

ANS: A
Pplateau represents the amount of pressure needed to maintain the tidal volume within the patient's lungs during static conditions and is the total pressure required to overcome only elastic forces.

Answer to Question 2

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

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
