Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The gas inlet on the back of the ventilator connects to a 50-psig source and is used to inject 12 mL/min of gas through the pressure line to prevent obstructions within the line and to prevent water from entering the differential pressure transducer. By pressing and holding the CONT V button on the touch pad, the clinician enables real-time flow through the infant sensor to be dis-played. The clinician can use the baseline leak or the flow displayed between breaths to deter-mine the best trigger sensitivity setting and to prevent auto-triggering. This device uses a varia-ble-orifice differential pressure transducer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The infant flow sensor should be cleaned every 24 hours to maintain accurate tidal volume meas-urements and flow-triggering capabilities.
