Great!
Important fallacy is switching to VC+/PRVC in this situation.
These prevent a very active patient from pulling volumes >1000 mL as seen with PC (even with low Pi). Sure. But, the patient still does significant work while the vent adaptively provides low support, and prettier waves.

1) How high did you turn up the flow before deciding to paralyze?

2) In general, how high of a peak pressure do you tolerate once you increase the flow? (Nothing that the increase in peek is purely due to airway pressure and won’t affect plateau pressure, aka, the pressure that actually matters)
