Overview

Thirty-four paediatric patients who needed artificial ventilation but lacked serious pulmonary pathology(ALI/ARDS) were ventilated by APRV/BIPAP. The authors investigated the acid-base equilibrium, setting of theventilator and indices of oxygenation and ventilation. In all patients satisfactory values of blood gases were achieved(pO2 11.5 kPa at time 0 and 12.3 kPa after 72 hours, pCO2 6.33 and 4.27 kPa, p
