On scene you are presented with a 21-year-old female with multiple disfigurements from birth defects. She is nonverbal and according to her home health nurse, has a fever, which requires transport to the emergency department.

A 3-month-old, 6.4-kg infant with ARDS is receiving ventilatory support. The initial settings are: PC-CMV, PIP = 22 cm H2O, PEEP = 5 cm H2O, rate = 30 breaths/min, FIO2 = 0.6. The ABG results show a PaO2 of 48 mm Hg

The respiratory therapist increases the PEEP to 8 cm H2O. The pressure-volume loops below show the change that occurs after this increase. (Loop A [solid line] was generated from the ini-tial settings. Loop B [dashed line] was generated from the increase in PEEP.) The respiratory therapist's most appropriate action is which of the following? a. Decrease the PEEP to 5 cm H2O. b. Keep the PEEP at 8 cm H2O. c. Decrease the PIP to 20 cm H2O. d. Increase the PIP to 24 cm H2O.
