36 infants treated from Oct. 76 to Dec. 77 with pressure limited ventilation for respiratory failure in HMD had a 25% incidence of pulmonary air leak (PAL). Mortality was 80% with PAL, 20% without. PAL occurred at <48 hrs. in 8/9.PAL was common in patients who had sustained PaCO2< 40 mm Hg (mechanical over ventilation - MOV) and whose FiO2and breaths per minute were lowered rather than peak airway pressure, as PaO2improved. 5/6 of the infants with early ventilation who died without MOV were severely asphyxiated at 1 min (Apgar = 3) compared with 1/5 of the infants who died with MOV. Deaths in Non-MOV infants may be associated with adverse perinatal factors predisposing the lung to injury. |
