  c. Decreased airway resistance
  d. Increased airway resistance

Question 2

Calculate the static compliance using the information from the pressure-volume loop below.
 
  a. 15 mL/cm H2O
  b. 20 mL/cm H2O
  c. 25 mL/cm H2O
  d. 30 mL/cm H2O

Question 3

What is the flow-cycle setting for the pressure support ventilation (PSV) breaths shown in the scalars below?

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The volume delivered remains the same for both the loops. However, the pressure has increased from approximately 20 to 35 cm H2O. The alveolar pressure (PA) has increased also. This is indic-ative of a decrease in compliance.

Answer to Question 2

Answer to Question 3

ANS: D
The peak inspiratory flow is 40 L/min. Inspiration ends at 20 L/min. The flow cycle is therefore set at 50.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
