Selective bronchial intubation for pulmonary emphysema.

A N Campbell, Y Zarfin, M Perlman

    Archives of Disease in Childhood
    |September 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Unilateral pulmonary interstitial emphysema in neonates can cause serious complications. Contralateral bronchial intubation for five days effectively treated this condition, saving lives.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Pediatric Pulmonology
    • Critical Care

    Background:

    • Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a common neonatal respiratory failure.
    • Pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE) is a rare but severe complication of neonatal respiratory support.
    • Unilateral PIE can lead to life-threatening complications such as mediastinal shift and atelectasis.

    Observation:

    • Two neonates presented with respiratory distress syndrome.
    • Both neonates developed unilateral pulmonary interstitial emphysema.
    • The condition resulted in significant mediastinal shift and compressive atelectasis.

    Findings:

    • Unilateral pulmonary interstitial emphysema was diagnosed in two neonates.
    • The severity of PIE caused mediastinal shift and atelectasis.
    • Treatment involved contralateral bronchial intubation for five days.

    Implications:

    • Contralateral bronchial intubation is a potentially life-saving intervention for unilateral PIE in neonates.
    • This approach can reverse mediastinal shift and improve lung function.
    • Early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial for managing this severe neonatal respiratory complication.
