Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
D. Correct response: Both pressure-regulated volume control (PR-VC) and proportional assist ventilation (PAV) use pressure-controlled breaths to calculate respiratory system mechanics. These calculations are used for monitoring ventilation or are incorporated into various feedback algorithms.

ANS: A
A. Correct response: Flow is integrated by pneumotachometers to obtain volume.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation A.

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).
