What changes in the patient’s settings you would like to make based on the blood gas
Please assess the ABG and identify what changes in the patient’s settings you would like to make based on the blood gas. (Note that the patient’s tidal volume range based on the patient’s Ideal Body Weight is 360-480 mL)
