Overview

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

Key words:
