An intubаted pаtient with nо knоwn histоry of congestive heаrt failure is in the ICU. The patient is comatose and currently receiving mechanical ventilation via volume-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (VC-CMV), set rate 12 breaths/min, set tidal volume (VT) 400 mL, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 18 cm H2O, fractional inspired oxygen (FIO2) 0.35, and the patient is not assisting. Hemodynamic measurements show the following: central venous pressure (CVP) 5 mm Hg, pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) 33/20 mm Hg, and pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) 16 mm Hg. Arterial blood gas (ABG) results are: pH 7.43, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) 38 mm Hg, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) 90 mm Hg. The physician asks for recommendations to improve this patient’s hemodynamics. The most appropriate recommendation for this patient is which of the following?
