Which of the following statements best describes the use of adaptive pressure ventilation on the Hamilton G5?
a. The level of pressure support is directly proportional to the peak inspiratory pres-sure.
b. The rise time is adjusted automatically to optimize volume delivery.
c. Volume targeting is provided with pres-sure-controlled ventilation.
d. Pressure-targeted breaths are provided to minimize risk of barotrauma.
ANS: C
Adaptive pressure ventilation provides volume targeting during a pressure-controlled breath. The clinician sets a target tidal volume, and the ventilator adapts to changing lung mechanics by al-tering the delivery pressure.
