A) Nitrogen
B) helium
C) Organ
D) carbon dioxide
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] Heliox, a mixture of helium and oxygen, has a density that is less than that of air. Breathing heliox leads to a reduction in resistance to flow within the airways, and consequently to a decrease in the work of breathing (WOB), particularly in disorders that are characterized by increased airways resistance. Beneficial effects have been observed in patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiolitis, broncho-pulmonary dysplasia and upper airways obstruction.
