Addition of NO at 15 ppm results in slight increase of her O2 saturation to 92%. You titrate NO up to 30 ppm but only see little improvement.

After a further 2 hours her O2 saturation is only 93% and you can't decrease FiO2 without significant oxygen desaturation.

What do you do now:

  1. Prone ventilation
  2. Change inverse ratio ventilation to 1.5 : 1
  3. Observe
  4. Give up
