newborn requiring selective left bronchial intubation Case report

ABSTRACT

Pulmonary interstitial emphysema [PIE] is an iatrogenic pulmonary condition of the premature infant with immature lungs. PIE occurs almost exclusively with mechanical ventilation. We report a case of preterm newborn 26 weeks gestation who developed PIE in the right lung while on advanced nasal CPAP ventilation mode and managed by selective left bronchial intubation and mechanical ventilation
