Physiological dead space may be increased in apneic patients receiving volume control ventilation by which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an apneic patient receiving volume control ventilation,an inspiratory time that is too short (i.e. ,<0.5 sec)may result in an increase in physiological dead space.Large I:E ratios and addition of an inflation hold increase the mean airway pressure.A slow flow rate can inverse the I:E ratio and also cause an increase in mean airway pressure.
