  • Title: Adult respiratory distress syndrome in a child with acute epiglottitis.
    Author: Musewe NN, Frewen TC, Cunningham D.
    Journal: Crit Care Med; 1986 Jan; 14(1):74-5. PubMed ID: 3940759.
    Abstract:
    Intubation of a 23-month-old child suffering epiglottitis was complicated by pulmonary edema progressing to the adult respiratory distress syndrome. Increased pulmonary shunt and pulmonary hypertension required high levels of positive end-expiratory pressure and prolonged mechanical ventilation to correct hypoxemia. A possible role for a cuffed endotracheal tube in epiglottitis is discussed.
