Increased airway resistance with persistent flow at end of expiration indicating auto PEEP

Notice that what it seems to be a right pneumothorax is actually bullae on the CT scan. Let pneumothorax is under pressure and chest tube was inserted!
However, on the CT scan taken post chest tube insertion, it seems that the tube is introduced into the lung!
Tight squeeze of ETT through edematous cords! You can see evaporation nicely confirming position!

There is double triggered breaths in both P-CMV AND APVcmv (pressure regulation) modes. The first breath is machine triggered (time) and the second one is patient triggered but before full exhalation resulted in large tidal volume and autoPEEP.
