Review
This algorithm deals with a current topic, discussed in the pediatric intensive care units when deciding the best course of treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome in children. It’s necessary to remember that even today, severe respiratory disease can end fatally. The presented algorithm of treatment will surely contribute to the education of the targeted group of professionals.
