Partial Liquid Ventilation in Paediatric Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome 
Fedora M., Nekvasil R., Šeda M., Klimovič M. 

 


Summary:

       The authors present a group of children with severe respiratory failure of varying etiology where partial liquid ventilation (PLV) was administered seven times. Perfluorocarbon (PFC) Rimar RM 101 was used. Within three hours of PLV a significant rise of pH and PaO2/FiO2 was achieved and reduction of FiO2 and the oxygenation index. Administration of PFC was not associated with any complications. PLV is an effective method in ARDS in some groups of patients.

        Key words: respiratory failure, respiratory distress syndrome, children, partial liquid ventilation
