If the pressure waveform of a ventilator remains the same when a patient's lung mechanics change, then what is the ventilator?
 
  a. Volume controller
  b. Pressure controller
  c. Time controller
  d. Flow controller

Question 2

Which of the following equations best describes the pressure (P) necessary to drive gas into the airway and inflate the lungs?
 
  a. P = (Elastance  Volume) + (Resistance  Flow)
  b. P = (Elastance  Volume) + (Resistance  Flow)
  c. P = (Volume + Compliance) + (Resistance  Flow)
  d. P = (Volume  Compliance)  (Resistance  Flow)
