  • Title: [Pneumopericardium in newborns during artificial ventilation (author's transl)].
    Author: Schuhfried G.
    Journal: Padiatr Padol; 1979; 14(2):135-42. PubMed ID: 460917.
    Abstract:
    During a period of 4 years 5 cases of pneumopericardium were observed among 571 artificially ventilated early- and newborn babies. 4 patients died as result of cardiac tamponade, 3 of them before the pericardiocentesis could be performed. 1 infant survived by puncture of the pericardial cavity. Frequency, pathological mechanism, and diagnosis of the pneumopericardium including quick terapeutical measurements under which pericardiocentesis could be life saving, are discussed.
