Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Compared with pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation, APRV reduces peak and mean air-way pressures, increases cardiac index, decreases central venous pressure, increases urine output, increases oxygen delivery, and reduces the need for sedation and paralysis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
APRV can reduce airway pressure in patients with ALI/ARDS; it therefore is also thought to reduce the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury. In APRV, the volume delivery varies, depend-ing on lung compliance, airway resistance, and the patient's spontaneous effort. APRV helps ventilate the dependent regions of the lungs, which are better perfused, improving the patient's ventilation/perfusion matching. CO2 elimination is not completely supported by APRV and relies more on the patient's spontaneous breathing.
