Use this information to answer the four questions below: A 58 kg patient is receiving mechanical ventilation via the PB 980 in the ICU. 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? Calculate the what the Vt will be if the Pinsp was decreased to 15 cmH2O. What settings change would be best to correct the PaCO2 to normal level? What settings change would you recommend to achieve a PaO2 in normal range?
