A 68-yeаr-оld wоmаn with HIV is аdmitted tо the ICU with respiratory failure secondary to pneumocystis pneumonia, requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation. A chest CT scan was performed before intubation and demonstrated cystic changes throughout the lungs, thought to be a sequela of past pneumocystis infection, with superimposed diffuse ground glass opacities. Her ventilator is set on volume assist-control, TV 6 mL/kg, respiratory rate 16 breaths per minute, FiO2 0.8, and PEEP of 10 cm H2O. On day 2 of her critical illness, her ventilator suddenly alarms for elevated peak pressures. She is observed to be deeply sedated and breathing passively on the ventilator. The peak pressure has risen from 25 cm H2O several hours before 50 cm H2O. The patient has simultaneously experienced oxygen desaturation from 95% to 90%. She is otherwise hemodynamically stable. A chest radiograph is ordered. An inspiratory hold maneuver is performed and her plateau pressure is 20 cm H2O. Which of the following is the MOST LIKELY explanation for this acute event?
