A physician has attempted on several occasions to insert a central venous catheter into the right subclavian vein of a patient receiving mechanical ventilation. Suddenly the ventilator's high-pressure alarm sounds, the patient's blood pressure drops, and the SPO2 value drips from 96% to 84%. Breath sounds are greatly diminished over the right-lung field. What action should you recommend? -insert a chest tube into the right pleural space -insert a pulmonary artery catheter -pull the ET b...
