Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A decrease in preload or increase in afterload can cause a decreased pump flow.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The ratio of sweep flow to pump flow is often 1:1. When using 4 L/min pump flow, typically the sweep flow would be initiated at 4 L/min. The oxygenator functions to provide gas exchange much like native lungs perform gas exchangeO2 diffuses into the blood from a gas source with a higher partial pressure and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood into a gas source with a lower partial pressure.
