Resolution of obstructive atelectasis with non-invasive mechanical ventilation.
Bronchoscopy is a commonly used technique in patients with atelectasis due to mucus plugs. We present here the case of an 82-year-old patient with a history of Meige's syndrome who developed acute respiratory failure due to atelectasis of the right upper lobe associated with hospital-acquired pneumonia. The patient had a severely reduced level of consciousness, significant work-of-breathing and...
متن کاملPulmonary arteriovenous fistula: mechanical ventilation and hypoxemia.
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is an uncommon congenital anomaly. As PAVM is a direct communication between branches of the pulmonary artery and vein, major disturbances in gas exchange can result. We present a patient with an unsuspected PAVM who came to our institution for drainage of a brain abscess. Arterial blood gas analysis during and after surgery demonstrated a large alveo...
متن کاملAssessment of pulmonary mechanics in mechanical ventilation
We read with great interest the article published by Chen et al. [1] regarding a systematic assessment of respiratory mechanics in patients with ARDS to determine ventilation parameters and the optimal mode. They used basic monitoring along with the placement of an esophageal balloon catheter to measure transpulmonary pressure. We believe that monitoring pulmonary mechanics may be useful, not o...
متن کاملPulmonary atelectasis in newborns with clinically treatable diseases who are on mechanical ventilation: clinical and radiological aspects
Objective To analyze the radiological aspects of pulmonary atelectasis in newborns on mechanical ventilation and treated in an intensive care unit, associating the characteristics of atelectasis with the positioning of the head and endotracheal tube seen on the chest X-ray, as well as with the clinical variables. Materials and Methods This was a retrospective cross-sectional study of 60 newbo...
متن کاملBroncho-Pulmonary Dysplasia and Mechanical Ventilation
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a disease particular to premature infants. It is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and its spectrum of causes and consequences has changed over the last several years. Originally described in 1967, the disease was then a disease of neonates who were less premature but more exposed to adverse ventilation and hyperoxia. Over the past 3-4 decades a var...
