A. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
D. Correct response: With HFJV, the therapist has control over the respiratory rate, inspiratory time, jet "drive pressure," and expiratory pressure. Ultimately, however, the delivered jet Vt depends on a number of factors, including (1) the drive pressure, (2) injector diameter, (3) inspiratory time, (4) ETT size, (5) presence of an entrainment gas, and (6) the development of auto-PEEP.
