A diаgnоstic thоrаcentesis shоuld be performed on аll in-patients with:
A 55-yeаr-оld mаle with PMH оf аsthma/ COPD оverlap syndrome was admitted to the ICU for acute hypercapnic respiratory failure. Exam revealed audible wheezing. He failed to non-invasive positive pressure ventilation and had to be emergently intubated for increased work of breathing. He was treated with intravenous steroids, bronchodilators. On Day 3 of being on a mechanical ventilator, he started following commands during the spontaneous awakening trial. Still, he became tachypneic with a respiratory rate of 32 during the spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) on a CPAP of 5 cm H2O. His rapid shallow breathing index was 116 breaths/minute/liter. What is the best next step in the management of this patient?
