She was initially admitted to the ICU and placed on (S)CMV rate 10, VT 750, peep 5, FiO2 50%. ABG’s were drawn on these settings: 7.37/41/59/25/86%. Serial chest x-rays show worsening alveolar infiltrates and volume loss bilaterally, consistent with early ARDS. Plateau pressures are approximately 42 cmH2O. Breath sounds reveal diminished breath sounds throughout with diffuse late inspiratory crackles.Assuming the physician would like to keep the patient on (S)CMV, what setting changes would you suggest? Increase FiO2 to 70% Increase PEEP to 8 Decrease tidal volume to 450 Increase rate to 17 Increase tidal volume to 800
