Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Respiratory mechanics that can be measured with the CareFusion AVEA include esophageal pressure measurement, peak inspiratory pressure/P100, inflection point, and auto-PEEP.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Sigh breaths are accomplished on the Drger EvitaXL ventilator by intermittently increasing the positive end-expiratory pressure level to the set sigh pressure for 2 consecutive breaths in the continuous mandatory ventilation mode.
