Noninvasive treatment of bronchomalacia, successful ventilation of a severely ill infant.

AbstractUNLABELLED:
Noninvasive treatment of bronchomalacia. Successful ventilation of a severely ill infant.
AIM:
To describe an effective treatment of a boy with bronchomalacia by noninvasive mechanical ventilation support.
METHODS:
We describe a case of a severely ill patient with bronchomalacia from the time he was born and until the age of five. Bi-level positive airway pressure given through a specially adapted full face mask was used to treat his respiratory condition.
RESULT:
Our patient responded well to the noninvasive treatment of bronchomalacia.
CONCLUSION:
We found that noninvasive mechanical ventilation support is a low risk and highly effective treatment of infants and children with respiratory distress caused by bronchomalacia.
