The patient is short of breath and using accessory muscles. Aerosolized bronchodilators are ad-ministered. The arterial blood gas reveals the following: pH 7.31, partial pressure of carbon diox-ide (PaCO2) 72 mm Hg, partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) 88 mm Hg, oxygen saturation (SaO2) 90%, bicarbonate (HCO3?) 32 mEq/L on nasal cannula 2 L/min. The respiratory therapist should recommend which of the following at this time? a. Intubate, volume-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (VC-CMV) rate 15 breaths/min, tidal volume (VT) 650 mL, fractional inspired oxygen (FIO2) 0.50, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 6 cm H2O. b. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) with bilevel positive airway pres-sure (bilevel PAP) rate 8 breaths/min, in-spiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) 10 cm H2O, expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) 4 cm H2O. c. Intubate, pressure-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation (PC-IMV) rate 10 breaths/min, peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) 30 cm H2O, FIO2 0.60, PEEP 3 cm H2O. d. Administer 30% oxygen via air entrain-ment mask and continuous bronchodilator therapy.
