A sedated 6 feet patient is on ventilatory support. The patient’s vent settings and arterial blood gas results are below: Mode = AC/VC Rate = 15 breaths/min Tidal volume = 450 ml Oxygen = 40% pH = 7.28 PaCO2 = 60 torr PaO2 = 70 torr  HCO3 = 29 mEq/L Based on this information, what would you recommend?
