Chest radiograph has returned and the radiologist findings are, bilateral hyperinflation with flattening of the diaphragm. Patient on PCV has the following settings and parameters: Rate – 25 Total rate – 25 Pressure – 35 cm H2O PIP – 40 cm H2O PEEP – 5 cm H2O  Ex. VT – 90 ml I:time – 1 sec I:E – 1:1.4 FIO2 – 0.60 VE – 2.25 L       The patient continuous to have bilateral wheezing on auscultation. What would you suggest at this time? I.      Start Q3 and PRN Inline Albuterol and Ipratropium bromideII.      Decrease Inspiratory timeIII.      Increase PEEPIV.      Increase Inspiratory pressure
