Overview

Objective:
To test the effect of tracheal gas insufflation -⁠ TGI -⁠ on exchange of blood gases (in particular PaCO2)in children with severe respiratory failure.Type of study: Prospective observational study.Site: ARO and ECMO centre of Paediatric Faculty Hospital Brno.Patients: Eight children with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure and marked hypercapnia.Methods: The patients were connected to a PCV or PRVC regime, oxygenation was optimalised by increasingthe mean airway pressure (Paw) by increasing PEEP with a limited peak pressure (PIP) and the lowest necessaryFiO2. They were ventilated by tidal volumes

Key words:
tracheal gas insufflation, respiratory failure, CO2 elimination, children
