Pulmonary complications, such as airway leak syndrome, are common in preterm neonates; however, bronchial rupture is a rarely seen phenomenon.
In this case, we present a preterm newborn who developed pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax. The pneumothorax persisted, despite placement of a thorax tube, requiring a thoracotomy to detect and treat the bronchial rupture.
Physicians should have a high suspicion of bronchial rupture in patients with persistent air leak syndrome, even after thorax tube placement and continuous negative pressure implementation.
在早产儿中,气道漏综合征等肺部并发症很常见;然而,支气管破裂是一种罕见的现象。
在此病例中,我们介绍了一例出现气胸和血胸的早产儿。尽管放置了胸腔引流管,但气胸仍持续存在,需要进行开胸手术以检测和治疗支气管破裂。
即使在放置胸腔引流管和持续负压实施后,对于持续存在的空气漏综合征患者,医生也应高度怀疑支气管破裂的可能性。
