A 63-yeаr-оld, 5'11", 185 lb mаle pаtient with a histоry оf chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is admitted to the hospital due to liver failure. Over the course of the 48 hours he has developed respiratory distress. The respiratory therapist performs a physical assessment and finds the following: heart rate 135 beats/min, respiratory rate 28 with accessory muscle use. Breath sounds are decreased bilaterally with coarse crackles in the right base. A chest X-ray from 24 hours ago shows bilateral lower lobe infiltrates. The patient has a nonproductive cough. The respiratory therapist draws an arterial blood gas that reveals: pH 7.31; partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) 57 mm Hg; partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) 58 mm Hg; arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) 87%; bicarbonate (HCO3–) 27 mEq/L while receiving oxygen via nasal cannula 3 L/min. The respiratory therapist should recommend which of the following for this patient?
