  • Title: Pulmonary complications following endotracheal intubation for anesthesia in breech extraction.
    Author: Evron S, Beyth Y, Samueloff A, Eimerl D, Schenker JG.
    Journal: Intensive Care Med; 1985; 11(4):223-5. PubMed ID: 3900168.
    Abstract:
    A 28-year-old, healthy pregnant patient developed bilateral pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum, pneumoretroperitoneum and pneumoperitoneum following endotracheal intubation and manual ventilation during general anesthesia for breech extraction. It is likely that positive-pressure ventilation was the cause for this very rare combination of complications. Early recognition and treatment may prevent such a catastrophe.
