A patient receiving mechanical ventilation has an exhaled tidal volume (VT) of 500 mL and a positive end-expiratory pressure setting (PEEP) of 5 cm H2O. Patient-ventilator system checks reveal the following data: Time PIP (cm H2O) Pplat (cm H2O) 0600 27 15 0800 29 15 1000 36 13 The respiratory therapist should recommend which of the following for this patient?1. Tracheobronchial suctioning2. Increase in the set tidal volume3. β adrenergic bronchodilator therapy4. Increase positive end-expiratory pressure

The values below pertain to a patient who is being mechanically ventilated with a measured exhaled tidal volume (VT) of 700 mL. Time Peak Inspiratory Pressure (cm H2O) Plateau Pressure (cm H2O) 0800 35 30 1000 39 34 1100 45 39 1130 50 44 Analysis of this data points to which of the following conclusions?

What is the most appropriate type of ventilatory support for this patient at this time? 

 During mechanical ventilation, the patient’s PIP is reaching 28 cm H2O. At what level should the maximum safety pressure be set?
