The patient is awake, alert, and looks comfortable on the following settings: VC-IMV with pres-sure support of 5 cm H2O; set rate = 8 breaths/min; set VT = 500 mL; FIO2 = 0.4; PEEP = 5 cm H2O.

What should the respiratory therapist suggest to the physician during patient rounds? a. Sedate the patient and place him on VC-CMV. b. Continue with the current ventilator set-tings. c. Switch to PC-CMV with a rate of 14 breaths/min. d. Decrease the mandatory SIMV rate to 4 breaths/min.
