A CASE OF CONGENITAL LOBAR EMPHYSEMA: CHALLENGES IN DIAGNOSIS AND IN ANAESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE) is a rare clinical entity presenting as acute respiratory distress in infants. Its diagnosis is difficult as clinically and radio logically it mimics pneumonia or pneumothorax. Its early recognition and management with thoracotomy is lifesaving. Inhalation induction is preferred and spontaneous ventilation should be maintained until either the chest is opened or one lung ventilation of the contralateral lung is achieved. In this case report, we describe the challenges faced in the anaesthetic management of this condition.
