A 58 kg patient is receiving mechanical ventilation via the PB 980 in the ICU. Ventilator and ABG results are: ABG:  pH 7.28/ PaCO2 56/ PaO2 76/ HCO3 25Mode: PC-AC                                       FiO2:    1.0 Mandatory Rate: 14 bpm                    Total rate:  14 bpm PEEP: 10 cmH2O                                   Ti:  1.1 sec with a “no flow” zone on insp. Exhaled Vt:  410 mL                               Pinsp: 13 cmH2O                              Which of the following changes choices would improve ventilation of this patient? Increase the mandatory rate to 16 Change the mode to SIMV Increase Pinsp to 15 cmH2O Increase the Ti to 1.8 sec
