Which of the following statements best describes automode on the Maquet Servoi?

a. The ventilator adjusts the delivered tidal volume based on the partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide and the oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximeter.
b. The ventilator selects the optimal tidal volume and rate based on the compliance and resistance.
c. The ventilator automatically shifts be-tween controlled ventilation and support-ed or spontaneous ventilation based on the needs of the patient.
d. The ventilator adjusts the delivered tidal volume based on the measured work of breathing.

Question 2

Which of the following is a difference between the Maquet Servoi and the Maquet Servos?

a. The ServoS is able to deliver larger tidal volumes.
b. The ServoS is able to deliver a mixture of helium and oxygen.
c. The ServoS cannot be used to manage ne-onatal patients, whereas the Maquet Servoi can be used with neonatal patients.
d. The ServoS can be adapted to deliver os-cillatory ventilation.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Automode allows the ventilator to shift automatically between controlled ventilation, supported ventilation, and spontaneous ventilation based on the effort sensed from the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Maquet Servoi and the Maquet Servos are identical in functional design and user operation. The Maquet Servos can be used for pediatric and adult patients but not for neonatal patients.
