A patient triggered, pressure limited, flow cycled breath describes which of the following?
a. Spontaneous breath
b. Pressure-support breath
c. Volume-control breath
d. Pressure-control breath
ANS: B
The term pressure limited points to either a pressure support breath or a pressure control breath. These breaths both are limited by the operator-selected pressure. A spontaneous breath is always flow cycled. This eliminates the pressure control breath because those breaths are always time cycled. Therefore, a patient triggered, pressure limited, flow cycled breath is a pressure support breath.
