  • Title: Management of tension pneumatocele with high-frequency oscillatory ventilation.
    Author: Shen HN, Lu FL, Wu HD, Yu CJ, Yang PC.
    Journal: Chest; 2002 Jan; 121(1):284-6. PubMed ID: 11796465.
    Abstract:
    We report the successful application of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation in a patient with tension pneumatocele (TP). The proposed check-valve mechanism for the development of pneumatoceles predicts that positive-pressure ventilation could lead to distension of these airspaces and formation of TPs. Therefore, high-frequency ventilation could be more applicable in conditions, such as massive air leak due to bronchopleural fistula, that are difficult to manage by conventional ventilator modes.
