Persistent pulmonary interstitial emphysema in a preterm infant.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Persistent pulmonary interstitial emphysema is a chronic disease reported in mechanically ventilated premature newborns. We describe a case of localized persistent pulmonary interstitial emphysema in a preterm infant without mechanical ventilation but on continuous positive airway pressure using nasal prongs. The condition resolved without surgery.

Pulmonary interstitial emphysema is a rare condition that generally affects low-weight preterm infants submitted to mechanical ventilation. The prognosis is variable, depending on early diagnosis and treatment. The radiologist plays a key role in this scenario. The authors report a case of persistent pulmonary interstitial emphysema, describing the main characteristics of such entity.
متن کاملPulmonary interstitial emphysema: selective bronchial occlusion with a Swan-Ganz catheter.
A 26 week preterm infant ventilated for hyaline membrane disease developed severe pulmonary interstitial emphysema with extensive right sided bullous formation, mediastinal shift, and subsequent left sided atelectasis. A paediatric Swan-Ganz catheter was used for selective bronchial occlusion with dramatic improvement in the infant's clinical condition and radiographic findings.
متن کاملEvaluation and treatment of emphysema in a preterm infant
Infants delivered prematurely often have respiratory distress related to surfactant deficiency or pneumonia. The current case describes a premature neonate who presented with increased work of breathing and recurrent left pneumothorax. Although chest x-ray showed left upper lobe changes consistent with pulmonary interstitial emphysema, subsequent CT scan performed due to recurrent pneumothorace...
متن کاملCauses and management of pulmonary air leak in newborns
pulmonary air leaks are usually complications of mechanical ventilation, although they can occur spontaneously. the reported incidence varies from 1% in term infants to 20% in preterm infants. the incidence has decreased in recent years. Ventilatory manoeuvres which increase mean airway pressure are associated with increased air leaks. use of higher ventilatory rates, shorter inspiratory times ...
متن کاملPulmonary interstitial emphysema.
Forty one of 210 preterm infants ventilated for respiratory distress syndrome in a three year period had radiological evidence of pulmonary interstitial emphysema. The development of this condition was significantly associated with malpositioning of the endotracheal tube in a main bronchus and the use of high peak pressure ventilation. Pulmonary interstitial emphysema was associated with a sign...
