Ventilator and ABG results are: ABG: pH 7.30/ PaCO2 50/ PaO2 220/ HCO3 23 Mode: PC-AC FiO2: 0.80 Mandatory Rate: 16 bpm Total rate: 16 bpm PEEP: 12 cmH2O Ti: 0.9 sec Exhaled Vt: 400 mL Pinsp: 17 cmH2O What is the static compliance? [staticcompliance] Calculate the what the Vt will be if the Pinsp was decreased to 15 cmH2O. [tidalvolume] What settings change would be best to correct the PaCO2 to normal level? [correctPaCO2] What settings change would you recommend to achieve a PaO2 in normal range? [correctPaO2]
