Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The initial MAP usually is set at the same level as or 2-3 cm H2O higher than that required for conventional ventilation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Failure to flow cycle can be due to leaks around the ET or tracheostomy tube. Time cycling is a backup for flow cycling.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
