Negative-pressure pulmonary edema is an unusual complication mainly associated with general anesthesia. It is caused by excessive negative intrathoracic pressure following a deep inspiration against an acute airway obstruction. The resultant decreased intrathoracic pressure amplifies venous return
Five critically ill neonates underwent tube mediastinostomy in the neonatal intensive care nursery for tension pneumomediastinum. All of the neonates showed immediate clinical improvement, with a decrease in peak airway pressure and elevation of arterial oxygen pressure levels. There were no
BACKGROUND
The non-malignant, acquired tracheoesophageal fistulas (TEF), resulting from tracheal intubation are usually iatrogenic lesions. Tracheal lesions resulting from intubation may occur and pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax or subcutaneous emphysema may develop due to the stream of
We report a case of subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema in a 39-year-old woman with late-onset Pompe disease who was undergoing non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV). Although the patient had a history of pneumothorax, she did not present with pneumothorax at the time of admission.
A 24-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to moderate asthmatic attacks. Dyspnea and hypoxemia progressed gradually despite medication. A chest roentgenogram revealed left unilateraly hyperlucency with pneumomediastiumn and subcutaneous emphysema. Swyer-James syndrome was diagnosed.
To report the development of a tension pneumomediastinum during mechanical ventilation of a young Irish Wolfhound with aspiration pneumonia.A 9-month-old intact female Irish Wolfhound was presented for clinical signs consistent with aspiration pneumonia. A 35-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of severe coughing and right-sided chest pain. She had worked on a farm for 13 years. For the preceding 2 years, she noticed a productive cough, a mild fever, and dyspnea after working in a barn for longer than 6 hours. Chest radiological
OBJECTIVE
The real incidence of pneumomediastinum (PNM) in adult patients with severe acute asthma exacerbation continues to be unknown. The current study aims to investigate the occurrence of PNM in an adult population of patients presenting a severe asthma attack and to evaluate the risk factors
An 86-year-old female with a history of right rotator cuff injury was admitted for arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia. There were no remarkable immediate postoperative complications. However, while recovering in the general ward, she developed dyspnea with hypoxia. She was
A 30-year-old pregnant woman experienced mild dyspnea in April 2009. She complained of mild myalgia and was subsequently admitted to our hospital in June 2009 because of worsening dyspnea. Physical examination revealed fine crackles in the lower lung field, but no eruptions externally. Laboratory
Human bocavirus (HBoV), that was first identified in 2005 and classified in Parvoviridae family, is a small, non-enveloped, single-stranded DNA virus, responsible for upper and lower respiratory tract infections, especially in young children. Although HBoV generally causes self-limited
Heated, humidified, high-flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) oxygen therapy allows optimal humidification of inspired gas at high flows and creates a distending pressure similar to nasal continuous positive airway pressure [1]. It has been safely used in adults with moderate hypoxemia with few Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) occurs rarely in children. The diagnosis is based on physical examination and chest radiography. Conservative therapy usually leads to recovery. However, SPM in association with severe hypoxia, tachycardia, metabolic acidosis, and high ventilation pressures
Case Report. A 37 years old patient at 40 weeks gestation presented with acute severe hypoxia with a seizure followed by fetal bradycardia. Caesarean section was performed under GA and she was intubated and ventilated. History revealed longstanding right pleural endometriosis with multiple
