Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Patients can trigger breaths based on a pressure or flow change that is sensed by the ventilator. In neonates, flow sensing is more sensitive and allows better synchronization than pressure trigger-ing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Tracheomalacia can make weaning from ventilation and extubation difficult. A tracheotomy and CPAP would be appropriate for this patient (24 hours a day) until surgery to place a stent in the airway can be performed.
