ANS: C
After years of studying the engineering, clinical aspects, and resources needed to train clinicians about ventilation modes, Chatburn reached four main conclusions about ventilator modes: (1) the current names for modes of ventilation are outdated and confusing, (2) confusion about names can lead to confusion about clinical application, (3) a ventilator mode classification system should be applicable to the modes available on any ventilator, and (4) all terminology proposed for ven-tilator classification needs to be clearly defined.
