A male patient (74-kg IBW) is being ventilated with PC-CMV, f = 12/min, PIP = 20 cm H2O, TI = 1.5 s; the resulting flow–time scalar is shown below. The patient’s measured VT is 435 mL. ABG results on these settings are: pH 7.32, PaCO2 54 mm Hg, HCO 25 mEq/L. The most appropriate action to take is which of the following?
