Quizplus · Accepted Answer

V_DS/V_T ratio is used as a marker for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). None of the respiratory disorders listed in options A, B, and C are opposite to ARDS, so they could potentially result in an increased ratio. Hypothalamus tumor has no direct relation to respiratory function, so an increased V_DS/V_T ratio would not be likely in this case.
