Abstract

Objective To explore the clinical features and prevention measures of neonatal pneumonia complicated with pneumothorax.Methods Clinical data of 26 neonatal pneumonia patients complicated with pneumothorax were retrospectively analyzed.Results In 26 cases of neonatal pneumonia complicated with pneumothorax,16 cases(61.4%) were aspiration pneumonia,10 cases(38.5%) were infectious pneumonia.2 cases of not obvious mild cyanosis and dyspnea were given conservative treatment,24 cases were shortness of breath cyanosis,groan,face pale,difficulty in breathing,restlessness,irritability.Breath sounds were reduced or disappear,sound shift,cyanosis to oxygen can not be sustained remission.Blood oxygen saturation were lower grade.One side or both sides of the chest profile were apparent uplift with thoracic puncture exhaust or thoracic closed drainage.24 cases(92.5%) suffered from pneumothorax were cured.2 cases (7.7%) gave up the treatment,including 1 case died and 1 case loss prevention.Conclusion Pneumonia of newborn pneumothorax is secondary to inhalation of most inappropriate,infection,airway pressure,suction.Once found,timely treatment is important.Mild cyanosis can spontaneous remission,cyanosis having oxygen can not be sustained remission.The prognosis of it by thoracic puncture exhaust or closed thoracic drainage is good.Actively control influence during pregnancy,birth and postpartum.Preventing meconium inhalation can reduce the occurrence of neonatal pneumonia complicated with pneumothorax.
