Necrotizing pneumococcal pneumonia with bronchopleural fistula among children in Taiwan.
BACKGROUND Severe necrotizing pneumococcal pneumonia may progress to the development of bronchopleural fistula (BPF). The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical courses and identify risk factors for the development of bronchopleural fistula in children with pneumococcal pneumonia.

متن کاملBronchopleural Fistula Resolution with Endobronchial Valve Placement and Liberation from Mechanical Ventilation in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Case Series
Patients who have acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with persistent air leaks have worse outcomes. Endobronchial valves (EBV) are frequently deployed after pulmonary resection in noncritically ill patients to reduce and eliminate bronchopleural fistulas (BPFs) with persistent air leak (PAL). Information regarding EBV placement in mechanically ventilated patients with ARDS and high volu...
