| Abstract: | Pulmonary interstitial emphysema is a well-documented complication of positive-pressure ventilation. However, the occurrence of large sub-pleural air cysts is a less well-known, extreme manifestation of this entity. We present here an infant who developed this complication of pulmonary barotrauma during cardiopulmonary resuscitative efforts. Received: 14 January 1998 Accepted: 4 June 1998 |
