An intubаted pаtient currently оn CMV is using аn HME fоr humidificatiоn. The patient was intubated due to COPD exacerbation. For the past three days the patient's secretions have been white, become thicker and has been difficult to mobilize. What should the respiratory therapist recommend to resolve the problem?
