A patient is being mechanically ventilated with a transport ventilator as he is being moved to another hospital. The PEEP was set at 5 cm H2O with a trigger threshold of 2 cm H2O. Immediately before the transport the baseline was raised to 10 cm H2O. To what level will the circuit pressure need to fall for inspiration to be triggered if this ventilator is not PEEP compensated?
A. 2 cm H2O
B. 7 cm H2O
C. 10 cm H2O
D. 12 cm H2O
Question 2
An ICU patient is receiving flow-triggered breaths from a mechanical ventilator. The continuous flow in the breathing circuit is 6 L/min. The flow trigger threshold is 2 L/min. To what level does the continuous flow in the breathing circuit need to reach for the breath to be flow triggered?
A. 2 L/min
B. 4 L/min
C. 6 L/min
D. 8 L/min
