Chest tube perforation of the lung in premature infants: radiographic recognition. 1983

J L Strife, and P Smith, and J S Dunbar, and J M Steven

Newborn infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome have an increased incidence of pulmonary interstitial emphysema, pneumomediastinum, and pneumothorax. A chest tube inserted for treatment of a pneumothorax may inadvertently perforate the lung. Recognition of chest tube perforation can be suggested by the occurrence of: (1) persistent or repeated pneumothoraces despite the presence of a chest tube and (2) atelectasis and/or infiltrate near the end of the chest tube.

D012121 Respiration, Artificial Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).

D006819 Hyaline Membrane Disease A respiratory distress syndrome in newborn infants, usually premature infants with insufficient PULMONARY SURFACTANTS. The disease is characterized by the formation of a HYALINE-like membrane lining the terminal respiratory airspaces (PULMONARY ALVEOLI) and subsequent collapse of the lung (PULMONARY ATELECTASIS).

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D055370 Lung Injury Damage to any compartment of the lung caused by physical, chemical, or biological agents which characteristically elicit inflammatory reaction. These inflammatory reactions can either be acute and dominated by NEUTROPHILS, or chronic and dominated by LYMPHOCYTES and MACROPHAGES.
