  • Title: Partial bronchial stenosis following inadvertent right bronchial intubation in a neonate.
    Author: Hennequin Y, Pardou A, Detemmerman D, Vermeylen D, Muller F, Vandermoten G, Avni EF.
    Journal: Acta Anaesthesiol Belg; 1985 Sep; 36(3):131-6. PubMed ID: 4061014.
    Abstract:
    This case reports difficulties encountered in weaning a premature infant with bronchopulmonary dysplasia from prolonged mechanical ventilation. On chest X-ray alternating atelectasis and hyperinflation of the right lung were observed. This resulted from a short episode of misplaced endotracheal tube that produced a traumatic bronchial stenosis. Treatment by prednisolone allowed the detubation.
