  • • Elevated A-a gradient (90)
Quick move (SIMV): Ventilate more — clear CO₂
  • • Increase minute ventilation: ↑ PIP by 1–2 cm H₂O (ΔP, the driver of Vt) and/or ↑ rate by 5–10 bpm.
  • • Verify ETT position/patency, chest rise, and check for plug, kink, or pneumothorax before stacking changes.
  • • Recheck gas in 20–30 min after a single deliberate change.

Educational nudge — confirm with bedside exam and use "Suggest next vent move" for full reasoning.
