A preterm infant developed bilateral tension pneumothoraces and extensive vascular air embolism 6 h after being commenced on nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Neonatal clinicians should be aware that catastrophic vascular air embolism could occur in infants receiving nasal CPAP, a modality of respiratory support conventionally considered non-invasive and 'safe'.
一名早产儿在开始接受经鼻持续气道正压通气(CPAP)治疗6小时后出现双侧张力性气胸和广泛的血管空气栓塞。新生儿临床医生应意识到,接受经鼻CPAP治疗的婴儿可能会发生灾难性的血管空气栓塞,而经鼻CPAP是一种传统上被认为是非侵入性且“安全”的呼吸支持方式。
