A prospective longitudinal study for finding out the benefits of controlled manometric ventilation with reversed inspiration-expiration ratio was performed. 42 patients with average age of one-year six months were studied, who suffered an acute respiratory distress in a systemic inflammatory syndrome and were finally volumetrically ventilated. In a second phase, a reversed inspiration-expiration ratio was put into practice and finally the patients were applied manometric ventilation with reversed inspiration-expiration ratio. In a statistical comparison, the controlled manometric ventilation obtained the best results in several ventilatory, gasometric and hemodynamic parameters.
