A term newborn was delivered with the amniotic fluid stained with blood due to PROM. Due to poor APGAR scores, the newborn was placed on ventilator support intubated with a 2.5 cuffless endotracheal tube. Current settings and blood gas values are as follows: Mode – SIMV Total rate – 70 Rate – 20 Exhaled VT – 4 ml Delta pressure – 15 cm H2O Spontaneous VT – 2 ml FiO2 – 0.45 PIP – 20 cm H2O PEEP – 5 cm H2O pH – 7.20 PaCO2 – 63 torr PaO2 – 49 torr HCO3 – 24 mEq/L BE – 0.2 mEq/L What should be done at this time?

A 2 kg neonate is on mechanical ventilation on the following parameters and capillary blood gas results:Mode – AC pH – 7.31f – 35 PaCO2 – 55 mmHgPressure – 20 cm H2O PaO2 – 42 mmHgI:Time 0.3 sec HCO3 – 25 mEq/LFIO2 – 40% BE – 0PEEP 5 cm H2O PtcCO2 – 60 mmHgVT EX – 15 ml After this gas, the frequency was increased to 40. Two hours later while doing a vent check you notice that the PtcCO2 is registering at 50 mmHg. What would you do at this time?

Given a marginal propensity to save (MPS) of 0.25, if actual output is $800 trillion and potential output is $1,000 trillion, how much of an increase in government spending is needed to move the economy to long-run equilibrium (potential output)?
