Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The lower limits of permissive hypoxemia remain controversial. However, most clinicians agree that a target of PaO2 = 60 mm Hg and SpO2 = 90 are acceptable lower limits.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
An expiratory time of at least 3-4 time constants is needed for the lungs to empty 98 of the in-spired volume.
