Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If your mother is on a ventilator due to pneumonia, then
1. ET tube sputum for culture and sensitivity
2. Higher antibiotics
3. Monitoring of BP and O2
4. She will improve when best intensivist will see this case

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Chandra Shekhar
