Answer to Question 1
ANS: C
The figure shows two levels of pressure-control ventilation. The higher level, around 22 cm H2O is the mandatory ventilator breaths. The lower level shows spontaneous breaths with a pressure support of approximately 15 cm H2O. Baseline (PEEP) is at 5 cm H2O.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: B
An assisted breath is always patient triggered. In the pressure control or targeted mode the pres-sure set is the pressure limit and the inspiratory time setting ends inspiration (cycle). Therefore, the correct answer is patient triggered, pressure limited, time cycled. The time triggered, pressure limited, and time cycled breath is a mandatory breath in the pressure-controlled continuous man-datory ventilation (PC-CMV) mode. The time triggered, pressure limited, and pressure cycled breath describes an intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB)-type mandatory breath. The patient triggered, volume limited, and volume cycled is a mandatory breath in the vol-ume-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (VC-CMV) mode.
