During volume control ventilation a patient's airway resistance increases.This change will cause which of the following to occur?
A) Increase in delivered volume
B) Increase in peak airway pressure
C) Decrease in plateau pressure
D) Decrease in peak airway pressure

Question

During volume control ventilation,changes in lung characteristics cause changes in pressure.Increasing airway resistance causes an increase in the amount of pressure required to deliver the volume,thereby increasing peak airway pressure.
