Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Time-cycled (instead of flow-cycled), pressure-limited ventilation in the presence of air leaks markedly improves patient-ventilator synchrony and patient comfort.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
These reports suggest the use of 3 to 5 cm H2O PEEP or the use of a nonrebreathing valve to prevent rebreathing of carbon dioxide.
