A dual mode that features a pressure-controlled breath pattern with volume as a conditional var-iable is which of the following?
a. Tactical control ventilation c. Pressure-regulated volume control
b. Pressure-targeted ventilation d. Volume-regulated pressure control
ANS: C
Pressure-regulated volume control is a breath pattern for which the pressure-limit value is set by the operator, along with the minimum volume that needs to be delivered. The conditional varia-ble, volume, is measured by the ventilator, and the pressure setting may be increased or decreased depending on that measurement.
