title: Inverse ratio ventilation in a 6-year-old with severe post-traumatic adult respiratory distress syndrome.
abstract: We successfully employed inverse ratio ventilation on a 6-year-old multiple trauma victim with severe adult respiratory distress syndrome after conventional ventilation modes using volume ventilation with high positive peak inspiratory pressure and PEEP had failed to improve oxygenation.
