A patient who suffered trauma in an ATV accident is being monitored in the ICU. A
pulmonary artery catheter has been placed and the following data is available:
PvO2 46 torr
PCWP 19 mm Hg
PAP (mean) 10 mm Hg
CVP 12 cm H2O
Cardiac Output 3L/min
The respiratory therapist should recommend
1. IV fluid challenge
2. positive inotropic agent
3. inhaled nitric oxide
4. diuretic therapy
