Across
- 3. cyclic opening and closing
- 6. air breathed per minute
- 7. a control variable
- 10. marker of lung stress
- 13. initiation of inspiration
- 14. augments spontaneous tidal volume
- 15. variable used to initiate expiration
Down
- 1. high peak inspiratory pressure
- 2. may cause increased peak inspiratory pressure
- 4. caused by poor elastic recoil
- 5. may cause MODS
- 8. when gas flow ceases
- 9. increases airway pressure
- 11. rationale for lung protective ventilation
- 12. reduced airway diameter will increase this
