| Abstract |
|
We observed 42 cases of neonates, who were diagnosed as having Hyaline membrane disease and
had been received mechanical ventilation in neonatal intensive care unit of Presbyterian medical
center from July 1984 to July 1988.
In order to observe the factors associated with pneumothorax, we devide these cases in two groups.
First group was consists of infants with pneumothorax, second group was consists of infants without
pneumothorax.
And followings were obtained:
1) The incidence of pneumothorax in Hyaline membrane disease was 11.5%.
2) The survival rate in Hyaline membrane disease infants receiving mechanical ventilation was
61% and there was no difference in survival rate between two groups.
3) Gestational age, birth weight, sex, perinatal events, mode of ventilation, start of ventilation
therapy, ventilation setting and severity of lung disease were not related to development of pneumoth-
orax, but pulmonary interstitial emphysema was a good indicator of pneumothorax. |
| Key Words:
Hyaline membrane disease, pneumothorax, pulmonary interstitial emphysema. |
