| Abstract |
|
Pulmonary vascular air embolism is a rare, and almost invariably fatal complication of positive
pressure ventilation of newborn infants. There have only been 53 cases described in the world
literature to date.
We have experienced a case of pulmonary vascular air embolism in a premature newborn as a
complication of mechanical ventilation during the course of respiratory distress syndrome.
The pathophysiology and clinical characteristics of pulmonary vascular air embolism is discussed
and a brief review of the related literature is presented. |
