Shin Won Yoon, Chul Lee, Jeong Nyun Kim, Ran Namgung, Dong Gwan Han, Myung Joon Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(3):318-326.   Published online March 15, 1997
Purpose : Pulmonary interstitial emphysema(PIE) is a common and serious complication of mechanical ventilation in infants with hyaline membrane disease. This abnormal collection of gases has two basic roentgenographic features; linear and cyst-like radiolucencies. High positive inspiratory pressure was found to be the most significant parameter associated with development of fatal pulmonary interstitial emphysema. Without prompt conservative management such as lowering peak inspiratory...

Measurement of blood pressure in neonate is an important diagnostic procedure. But measurement of blood pressure were not performed routinely because of difficulty in measuring blood pressure and variable normal range according to measuring apparatus. Recently some accurate and convinient apparatuses of measuring blood pressure have been introduced in neonatal care, so normal blood pressure values of neonate are needed. In this study, we establish...
