Thirty-four mechanically ventilated paediatric patients without severe lung dysfunction (ALI/ARDS) were ventilated in APRV/BIPAP mode.Following parameters were monitored: acid-base balance were achieved (pO2 11,5 kPa in time 0 and 12,3 kPa in 72 hours, pCO2 6,33 and 4,72 kPa;p 0,05); FiO2 could be decreased from 0,42 to 0,33. There were lower pressures in the airways [Phigh 15,3 vs. 14,3 MAP 6,8 vs. 4,3; Plow 4,8 vs. 3,3(cmH2O)] and better indexes - AaDO2 20,2 vs. 13,2 kPa; OI 3,3 vs. 1,4; pO2/FiO2 217,3 vs. 296,6 torr (p 0,05). We did not observe any complicationassociated with mechanical ventilation; ventilatory mode was well tolerated.
