chapter 01: basic terms and concepts of mechanical ventilation
cairo: pilbeam’s mechanical ventilation: physiological and clinical applications,
8th edition


multiple choice:
1. the body’s mechanism for conducting air in and out of the lungs is known as
which of the following?
a. external respiration
b. internal respiration
c. spontaneous ventilation
d. mechanical ventilation
Ans: c
the conduction of air in and out of the body is known as ventilation. since the
question asks for the body’s mechanism, this would be spontaneous ventilation.
external respiration involves the exchange of oxygen (o2) and carbon dioxide (co2)
between the alveoli and the pulmonary capillaries. internal respiration occurs at
the cellular level and involves movement of oxygen from the systemic blood into
the cells.

ref: pg. 2

2. which of the following are involved in external respiration?
a.red blood cells and body cells
b.scalenes and trapezius muscles
c.alveoli and pulmonary capillaries
d.external oblique and transverse abdominal muscles
Ans: c
external respiration involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide (co2)
between the alveoli and the pulmonary capillaries. internal respiration occurs at the
cellular level and involves movement of oxygen from the systemic blood into the cells.
scalene and trapezius muscles are accessory muscles of inspiration. external
oblique and transverse abdominal muscles are accessory muscles of expiration.

ref: pg. 2

3. the graph that shows intrapleural pressure changes during normal
spontaneous breathing is depicted by which of the following?
a.

b.




c.




d.




Ans: b
during spontaneous breathing, the intrapleural pressure drops from about cm
h 2o at end- h 2o at end-inspiration. the graph depicted for answer
b shows that change from cm h 2o to cm h 2o.

ref: pg. 3

4. during spontaneous inspiration alveolar pressure (pa) is about: .
a. cm h 2o
b. +1 cm h 2o
c. 0 cm h 2o
d. 5 cm h 2o
Ans: a
h 2o is the lowest alveolar pressure will become during normal spontaneous
ventilation. during the exhalation of a normal spontaneous breath the alveolar
pressure will become +1 cm h 2o.

ref: pg. 4

5. the pressure required to maintain alveolar inflation is known as which of the
following?
a. transairway pressure (pta)
b. transthoracic pressure (ptt)
c. transrespiratory pressure (ptr)
d. transpulmonary pressure (pl )
Ans: d
