Which of the following statements accurately describe closed-loop control? Closed-loop control: I. maintains consistent inspiratory pressure, volume, or flow waveforms in the presence of changing lung compliance and airway resistance. II. measures the output, and compares it with a reference value. III. lacks a stream of information from the output to generate a new input. IV. provides a steady output in the presence of unanticipated disturbances.

Calculate airway resistance (Raw) for a ventilator patient, in cm H2O/(L/s), with the following information: Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) is 20 cm H2O, plateau pressure (Pplat) is 15 cm H2O, PEEP is 5 cm H2O, and set flow rate is 50 L/min.
