Barotrauma refers to physical injury or damage caused by changes in pressure, typically affecting air-filled spaces within the body. The likelihood of barotrauma increases with higher pressures.
In the options provided:
a) 30 cm H2O
b) 40 cm H2O
c) 50 cm H2O
d) 60 cm H2O
The likelihood of barotrauma would increase with higher pressures. Therefore, options c) 50 cm H2O and d) 60 cm H2O would have a higher likelihood of causing barotrauma compared to options a) 30 cm H2O and b) 40 cm H2O.
