Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Volume lost in the ventilator circuit equals tubing compliance multiplied by the measured peak inspiratory pressure. Volume lost = 3 mL/cm H2O  40 cm H2O = 120 mL.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
During volume ventilation, plateau pressure is obtained by using the maneuver that extends or delays exhalation by keeping the expiratory valve momentarily closed. This prevents the gas from leaving the circuit. The maneuver is known as an inspiratory pause, inspiratory hold, or inspirato-ry plateau.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
