The recommendations for mechanical ventilation during status asthmaticus include long I-times, short E-times, and an I-time:E-time ratio initially of 1:2 or 1:3. It is best to begin with a lower FiO₂ and wean as tolerated, rather than beginning with FiO₂ 1.0. It is also important to avoid a high respiratory rate to allow time for exhalation. Choice B includes the appropriate recommendations.
