Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Variable inductance and strain gauge pressure transducers are commonly used for measuring res-piratory and cardiovascular pressures because they respond quickly to pressure changes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Stand-alone devices for the measurement of bedside respiratory mechanics include the BICORE CP-100 and the VenTrak system.
