A. Incorrect response: In response to increasing levels of FICO2, patients receiving PSV demonstrated increased chemoreceptor response, evidenced by a hypocapnia and a larger tidal volume.
B. Incorrect response: In response to increasing levels of FICO2, patient receiving PAV essentially maintained a constant PaCO2 (eupnea).
C. Correct response: In response to increasing levels of FICO2, patients receiving either ACV or PSV experienced increased chemoreceptor response, demonstrated by hypocapnia and an increased VT.
D. Incorrect response: In response to increasing levels of FICO2, patients receiving ACV demonstrated increased chemoreceptor response, evidenced by a hypocapnia and a greater tidal volume.
