Suggests increased airway resistance, not compliance problem
Kinked tube- pass suction catheter?
Mucus plug- pass suction catheter and suction
Bronchospasm- inhaled bronchodilators
Tube too small- swap tube

Suggests decreased compliance, not an isolated resistance problem
Mainstem bronchus- pull back ETT, CXR?
Atelectasis- bronchoscopy
Cardiogenic [[[pulmonary edema]]-diuretics vs inotropes
ARDS- lower Vt
Pneumothorax- Chest tube
Pneumonia- Antibiotics

Suggests Dynamic Hyperinflation
Remove from vent, allow complete exhalation
Lower<unk>  rate
Shorten I-time to change I:E around 1:4
Tidal volume 6-8mL/kg predicted body weight
Increase inspiratory flow rate to 60-80L/min to allow more exhalation time
Opioid sedation blunts intrinsic tachypnea
