Many patients with acute asthma are treated with intermittent positive-pressure breathing (I.P.P.B.) devices. The development of pneumothorax in two fatal cases and its association with I.P.P.B suggests that this complication may be an important hazard in the treatment of acute asthma.
许多急性哮喘患者接受间歇性正压通气(I.P.P.B.)设备治疗。两例致命病例中气胸的发生及其与I.P.P.B.的关联表明,这种并发症可能是急性哮喘治疗中的一个重要危险因素。
