Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Pressure support breaths are flow-cycled on the Drger Babylog 8000+ at 15 of peak flow.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The mandatory breaths in the synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation mode on the Dr-ger Babylog 8000 are either time-triggered or patient-triggered. Patient-triggering is accom-plished by volume, when a patient's spontaneous inspiratory volume is equal to or greater than the set trigger volume.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
