| Popis: | At birth this baby girl was found to have left pneumohydrothorax and marked pulmonary hypoplasia that was treated with mechanical ventilation. After continued deterioration, she received high-frequency oscillatory ventilation. Her intraarterial pressure wave form dampened, and surgical exploration revealed air, but no blood, in the carotid artery. |
