Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Mechanical NPV is similar to spontaneous breathing. NPV decreases pleural pressure (Ppl) during inspiration by exposing the chest to sub-atmospheric pressure. Negative pressure at the body sur-face (Pbs) is transmitted first to the pleural space and then to the alveoli (Palv). Because the airway opening remains exposed to atmospheric pressure during NPV, a transairway pressure gradient is created. Thus, gas flows from the relatively high pressure at the airway opening (zero) to the rela-tively low pressure in the alveoli (negative).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
NPV decreases pleural pressure (Pp1) during inspiration by exposing the chest to sub-atmospheric pressure.
