An adult patient with ARDS is being ventilated with VC-CMV. The settings are: f = 14 breaths/min; VT = 375 mL; PEEP = 16 cm H2O; and FIO2 = 0.8

The patient's ABG values are: pH = 7.40; PaCO2 = 56 mm Hg; PaO2 = 48 mm Hg; and SaO2 = 83%; the mean airway pressure is 18 cm H2O. The patient's physician decides on a trial of HFOV. What initial ventilator settings should be used? a. Bias flow = 30 L/min; mPaw = 23 cm H2O; set power to obtain ?P = 76 cm H2O; f = 6 Hz; TI = 33%; FIO2 = 1.0 b. Bias flow = 35 L/min; mPaw = 76 cm H2O; set power to obtain ?P = 33 cm H2O; f = 10 Hz; TI = 50%; FIO2 = 1.0 c. Bias flow = 20 L/min; mPaw = 18 cm H2O; set power to obtain ?P = 76 cm H2O; f = 8 Hz; TI = 33%; FIO2 = 1.0 d. Bias flow = 30 L/min; mPaw = 30 cm H2O; set power to obtain ?P = 56 cm H2O; f = 6 Hz; TI = 50%; FIO2 = 1.0
