pain, persistent cough and shortness of breath. Her ideal
body weight is 110 lbs and she was initially placed on simple

Her VT = 550 ml and f = 18 bpm. Blood gas and CBC were obtained
by the ER nurse and are shown below:
pH = 7.34
PaCO2 = 55 mmHg
Pa02 = 70 mmHg
HC03 = 33 mEq/L
HCT = 36%
PVO2 = 51 mmHg
