  • Title: A 2-year old with no ventilator requirement but who cannot be extubated.
    Author: Little R.
    Journal: Semin Pediatr Neurol; 2008 Dec; 15(4):157-9; discussion 159. PubMed ID: 19073316.
    Abstract:
    A 2-year-old boy was intubated during treatment for pneumonia. After resolution of the infection, he had no pulmonary requirement for ventilation and could function without it while awake. When he slept, however, he would have decreasing respiratory effort, increasing hypercapnia, and episodic apnea. This report provides an example of late-onset congenital central hypoventilation syndrome.
