He is being treated with IV fluids, pain control medication, and supportive care, but he is developing increasing respiratory distress; RR =42 (increased), O2 saturation = 90% with FiO2 = 100% given by mask. He is then intubated and placed on 100% oxygen. His arterial blood gas reveal a PaO2 of 70 mm Hg. At this point, what can you do to improve his chances of survival?
