Abstract

Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a very serious illness that endangers the life of children of any age. We present the case of a 16 month old baby girl that developed the distress syndrome following pneumonia and who was treated in our Paediatric Intensive Care Unit. The problems observed and the necessary actions taken to resolve such problems are described. Lastly, an evaluation of the outcome is presented.
