During pressure-controlled ventilation, a(n) ____ airflow resistance or a(n) ____ compliance would reduce the delivered flow and tidal volume.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During pressure-controlled ventilation, an increased airflow resistance or a decreased compliance would reduce the delivered flow and tidal volume. Increased resistance makes it harder for air to flow into the lungs, and decreased compliance means the lungs are stiffer and less able to expand, both of which would reduce the volume of air delivered.
