One‐sided high‐frequency oscillating ventilation in the treatment of neonatal unilateral pulmonary emphysema

Abstract

We describe a preterm infant (31 weeks' gestation) with unilateral pulmonary emphysema. Bronchoscopy showed no bronchial obstruction. After 20 days of right‐sided high‐frequency oscillating ventilation, the emphysema in the left lung had completely resolved and the patient could be extubated.
