Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
By increasing FRC and alveolar pressure, auto-PEEP increases the risk and severity of barotrau-ma and volutrauma. Auto-PEEP also increases the work of breathing and impedes venous return, the result being a decrease in cardiac output. Auto-PEEP also can increase pulmonary vascular resistance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Patients at greatest risk of development of auto-PEEP are those with high airway resistance who are being supported by modes that limit expiratory time.
