Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Pressure and flow are the most common variables used for patient triggering. However, volume triggering and neural triggering also can be used.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Baseline pressure is the pressure maintained at the airway during exhalation and the pressure from which inspiration begins. Proximal pressure is the pressure measured near the Y-connector of the ventilator circuit. Sensitivity is the control set by the operator that determines the amount of work the patient must do to trigger a breath. The mean airway pressure is the average pressure occurring in the airway during a complete respiratory cycle.
