  • Title: High-flow nasal cannula for the treatment of life-threatening plastic bronchitis.
    Author: Vézina K, Dipchand AI, Narang I.
    Journal: Pediatr Pulmonol; 2020 Apr; 55(4):E1-E2. PubMed ID: 32068971.
    Abstract:
    Plastic bronchitis (PB) is characterized by the formation of bronchial casts. It most frequently occurs in children with congenital heart disease, particularly post-Fontan procedure. Several medical and surgical therapies have been described in the literature with variable success. To our knowledge, this is the first time that overnight use of home high-flow nasal cannula is reported as a therapy to prevent recurrence of bronchial cast production in a child with PB post-Fontan.
