    AbstractA 73-year-old man with ARDS-multiple organ failure due to Chlamydia psittaci, was successively supported with conventional respiratory techniques. After 48 hours of no clinical improvement, HFV was superimposed to CMV in order to combine the advantages of each one. Since improvement has been seen in all ventilatory parameters, this method is suggested as another mode of ventilation for patients with refractory hypoxia and hypercarbia who do not respond to conventional respiratory care.
