Abstract

Objective: To show an integrated therapeutic approach in a severe case of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) under maximized ventilatory settings.

Patient and methods: Case report of a patient with severe PARDS at Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), High frequency ventilation (HFVO) nitric oxide (NO) inhalation therapy.

Case report: A 1-year-old girl, Down Syndrome, with pneumonia who shortly after presentation developed therapy-refractory respiratory failure. The patient was successfully treated with HFVO and NO therapy and other standard intensive care regimens. 20 days after the patient was discharged, nearly fully recovered.

Conclusions: In a patient with severe PARDS with oxy- genation failure under maximized ventilatory settings and NO therapy may improve the surviving rate.
