Lung herniation after positive pressure ventilation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lung herniation is a rare condition which has only been mainly published as case reports in the literature. Although its description has been around since 1845, not much is still known about it. More often seen after trauma or as a surgical complication post thoracic surgery, it's management usually depends on its etiology and varies between individuals. We report a case of lung herniation after positive pressure ventilation from a previous thoracotomy site. To our knowledge, this is the first report where the lung herniation was precipitated by mechanical ventilation.

Early Effectiveness of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation on Right Ventricular Function in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Subjects with Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure
Introduction: Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) has become an integral tool in the management of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study was performed to evaluate the early effects of NIPPV on pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), serum N-terminal pro BNP (NT-proBNP), and ventilatory parameters in the COPD patients with...

Case Reports:Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) allows the delivery of positive pressure mechanical ventilation to the lungs without endotracheal intubation. NPPV is used for the management of both acute and chronic respiratory failure. The few complications of NPPV complications include aspiration of gastric content, epistaxis, conjunctivitis, and contact dermatitis. We present a...
متن کاملRole of continuous positive airway pressure to the non-ventilated lung during one-lung ventilation with low tidal volumes
INTRODUCTION In multiple study populations large tidal volumes (8 - 12 ml/kg) have deleterious effects on lung function in multiple study populations. The accepted approach to hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation is the application of continuous positive airway pressure to the non-ventilated lung first, followed by application of positive end-expiratory pressure to the ventilated lung. To our ...

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), also known as chronic lung disease (CLD), is the most common serious morbidity associated with premature birth, particularly among those infants who have respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and receive mechanical ventilation after birth. BPD is characterized by lung inflammation and scarring, which are thought to be the effects of excessive (or inadequate) vent...

Background Non-invasive ventilation is increased used in preterm infants. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (nIPPV) versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) after less invasive surfactant administration (LISA). Materials and Methods In this clinical trial, eighty ...
