Predictors of outcome of prematurely born infants with pulmonary interstitial emphysema
Acta Pediatrica Jun 13, 2018
Williams E, et al. - From 2010 to 2016, infants who developed pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE) were identified in order to determine how oxygenation, ventilation efficiency and tidal volume requirements changed with the development of PIE, as well as whether in affected patients a composite gas exchange index predicted death or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Despite increased tidal volumes, development of PIE was associated with poorer oxygenation and ventilation efficiency. The findings from the present study suggested that the oxygenation index (OI) at PIE-worst predicted death or BPD.
