The therapist is performing airway care on a mechanically ventilated patient who is intubated with a Hi-Lo Evac endotracheal tube. While checking the cuff pressure, the therapist notices that pressure manometer reads 30 cm H2O, and that the vacuum pressure gauge, providing continuous suction, indicates 100 mm Hg. Inspection of the mucous collector shows that it is empty. What should the therapist

do at this time? A. Inject 10 cm H2O into the cuff, and increase the vacuum pressure to 110 mm Hg. B. Decrease the cuff pressure by 10 cm H2O, and leave the vacuum pressure set at 100 mm Hg. C. Leave both the cuff pressure and vacuum pressure set at their respective levels. D. Leave the cuff pressure at 30 cm H2O, and decrease the vacuum pressure to 70 mm Hg.
