We describe an original ventilation method designed to optimize lung recruitment and gas exchanges during surgery in a newborn with congenital esophageal atresia and ectopic esophageal implantation of the left mainstem bronchus. This strategy ensured constant adaptation of the mechanical ventilatory regimen to the surgical procedure-linked constraints.

Comparison of 3D UTE free-breathing lung MRI with hyperpolarized Xe MRI in pediatric cystic fibrosis.
Magn Reson Med
February 2025
Translational Medicine Program, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare a new MRI technique (3D UTE PREFUL) for measuring lung ventilation to existing methods (Xe-MRI and 2D multi-slice PREFUL MRI) in children with cystic fibrosis.
- Twelve pediatric CF patients underwent various MRI scans to create regional ventilation maps, and multiple statistical methods were used to compare the ventilation defect percentages (VDP) derived from these scans.
- Results indicated that the 3D UTE PREFUL MRI correlated well with the other methods in measuring global lung VDP, suggesting it could be a more sensitive and accessible option for assessing lung ventilation in pediatric CF patients.
Noninvasive Respiratory Support Effects on Sighs in Preterm Infants by Electrical Impedance Tomography.
Indian J Pediatr
July 2023
Clinic of Children's Diseases, Institute of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Vilnius University, Santariškių G. 7, 08406, Vilnius, Lithuania.
Objective: To evaluate differences regarding sigh frequency between noninvasive respiratory support types and to assess regional ventilation distribution, delta Z, and end-expiratory lung impedance differences before and after sighs.
Methods: Very low-birth-weight infants with gestational ages less than 32 wk were included in the study. Participants were split into two groups: those receiving continuous positive airway pressure and infants receiving high-flow nasal cannula therapy.
Effect of Bronchial Thermoplasty on Air Trapping Assessed by Xenon Ventilation Computed Tomography.
Intern Med
July 2021
Division of Respiratory Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Japan.
Objective Bronchial thermoplasty (BT) is a bronchoscopic procedure for patients with severe asthma. Although it has been suggested that BT works by reducing airway smooth muscle, the detailed mechanism underlying its effects is still unknown. Methods We performed xenon ventilation computed tomography (Xe-CT) before each BT procedure and six weeks after the third treatment to assess the improvement in lung ventilation at each separate lung region.

Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio. Mr Branson is affiliated with the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio and is Editor-in-Chief of Respiratory Care.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased demand for mechanical ventilators and concerns of a ventilator shortage. Several groups have advocated for 1 ventilator to ventilate 2 or more patients in the event of such a shortage. However, differences in patient lung mechanics could make sharing a ventilator detrimental to both patients.

Selective bronchial intubation (SBI) to ventilate a single lung (one-lung ventilation, OLV) or to apply separate lung ventilation (independent-lung ventilation, ILV) can be frequently required under general anesthesia in pediatrics, mainly in video assisted thoracoscopy surgery, in the postoperative care of cardio-thoracic surgery, and for the treatment of lung pathologies with unilateral prevalence in intensive care. In children over 6-8 years of age SBI, OLV and ILV can be performed using marketed double-lumen tubes (DLTs). In neonates, infants and younger children the application of ILV is limited due to the lack of DLTs.
