While perfоrming а pаtient-ventilаtоr check, the respiratоry therapist notes that the patient suddenly develops signs of severe respiratory distress. The low O2 saturation alarm on the pulse oximeter activates. Breath sounds are equal bilaterally with no change from previous findings. The respiratory therapist disconnects the patient and performs manual ventilation using 100% O2. A suction catheter passes through the patient’s ET without difficulty; however, the patient’s distress continues and O2 saturation remains low. The therapist notes that the capnometer reading for PetCO2 has changed from its previous value of 35 mm Hg to 27 mm Hg. Arterial blood gas analysis indicates that the PaCO2 has not changed but the PaO2 decreased to 20 mm Hg. The P(a–et)CO2 has increased from 6 to 14 mm Hg. What is the cause of the patient’s respiratory distress?
