Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A mediastinal shift occurs when the entrance of air or fluid enters the pleural cavity, causing the opposite lung to be compressed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used as a resuscitative device for patients who have potentially reversible respiratory and/or cardiac failure, and it can prolong extracorporeal circulation after cardiopulmonary bypass ends.
