Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Automatic tube compensation is similar to the flow assist of proportional assist ventilation but only considers the resistance of the endotracheal tube.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
More specifically, the decrease in left ventricular output corresponded to the increase in pleural pressure that occurred with PPV.

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
