The volume delivered by a pressure-limited ventilator will decrease under which of the following conditions?
 
  1. The patient's lung or thoracic (chest wall) compliance falls.
  2. Airway resistance rises (inspiratory time <3 times the time constant).
  3. The patient tenses the respiratory muscles during inspiration.
  4. Airway resistance rises (inspiratory time >3 times the time constant).
  a. 1 and 3 only
  b. 1, 3, and 4 only
  c. 3 and 4 only
  d. 2, 3, and 4 only

Question 2

Which of the following occur in pressure-limited modes of ventilation?
 
  1. The volume delivered at a given pressure must decrease as compliance falls.
  2. The inspiratory flow varies with patient effort and lung mechanics.
  3. Active effort by the patient against inspiration will decrease delivered volume.
  4. The volume delivered at a given pressure must increase as Raw rises.
  a. 1 and 3 only
  b. 1, 2, and 3 only
  c. 3 and 4 only
  d. 2, 3, and 4 only

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
However, if insufficient time is available for pressure equilibration, delivered volume decreases as airway resistance increases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
An increase in resistance, active exhalation, or muscle tensing by the patient during inspiration also decreases delivered volume in pressure ventilation.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
