Which of the following is the primary parameter used to alter the breath size in pressure con-trolled?
 
  a. Positive inspiratory pressure (PIP)positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP)
  b. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
  c. Tidal volume
  d. Flow

Question 2

During pressure-targeted ventilation, which of the following setting(s) determine(s) VT? 1. Pressure difference 2. Inspiratory time 3. Time constant
 
  a. 1 and 2 only
  b. 2 and 3 only
  c. 3 only
  d. 1, 2, and 3

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Because tidal volume is not directly controlled, the pressure gradient (PIP  PEEP) is the primary parameter used to alter the breath size and hence carbon dioxide tensions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
