Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Repeated opening and closing of lung units, also called recruitment/derecruitment, generates shear stress, which results in direct tissue injury at the alveolar and pulmonary capillary level. Barotrauma is lung injury caused by high pressure. Biotrauma refers to the release of inflamma-tory chemical mediators that cause multiorgan failure. Overdistention is the cause of biotrauma.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
High distending volumes result in overdistention of the alveoli, leading to the release of inflam-matory mediators from the lungs, which can result in multiorgan failure. The release of these in-flammatory mediators is called biotrauma.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
