Background Most infants and children admitted to the pediatricintensive care unit (PICU) have respiratory distress and pulmonarydisease as underlying conditions. Mechanical ventilation may beused to limit morbidity and mortality in children with respiratoryfailure.Objective To assess a correlation between chest x-ray findingsand outcomes of patients with mechanical ventilation.Methods This retrospective study was held in Dr. KariadiHospital, Semarang, Indonesia. Data was collected from themedical records of children admitted to the PICU from Januaryto December 2010, who suffered from respiratory distress andused mechanical ventilation. We compared chest x-ray findings tothe outcomes of patients. Radiological expertise was provided byradiologists on duty at the time. Chi-square and logistic regressiontests were used for statistical analysis.Results There were 63 subjects in our study, consisting of 28 malesand 35 females. Patient outcomes were defined as survived or died,43 subjects ( 68%) and 20 subjects (3 2%), respectively. Chest x-rayfindings revealed the following conditions: bronchopneumonia48% (P=0.298; 95%CI 0.22 to 1.88), pleural effusion 43%(P=0.280; 95%CI 0.539 to 4.837) , pulmonary edema 6%(P=0.622; 95%CI 0.14 to 14.62) and atelectasis 3% (P=0.538;95%CI 0.03 to 7 .62). None of the chest x-ray findings significantlycorrelated to patient outcomes.Conclusion Chest x-ray findings do not correlate to patientoutcomes in pediatric subjects with mechanical ventilation inthe PICU of Dr. Kariadi Hospital, Semarang, Indonesia.

Abstract Background Re-expansion pulmonary edema is an uncommon complication following drainage of a pneumothorax or pleural effusion. While pneumothorax is noted to complicate COVID-19 patients, no case of COVID-19 developing re-expansion pulmonary edema has been reported. Case representation A man in his early 40 s without a smoking history and underlying pulmonary diseases suddenly complained of left chest pain with dyspnea 1 day after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Chest X-ray revealed pneumothorax in the left lung field, and a chest tube was inserted into the intrathoracic space without negative pressure 9 h after the onset of chest pain, resulting in the disappearance of respiratory symptoms; however, 2 h thereafter, dyspnea recurred with lower oxygenation status. Chest X-ray revealed improvement of collapse but extensive infiltration in the expanded lung. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with re-expansion pulmonary edema, and his dyspnea and oxygenation status gradually improved without any intervention, such as steroid administration. Abnormal lung images also gradually improved within several days. Conclusions This case highlights the rare presentation of re-expansion pulmonary edema following pneumothorax drainage in a patient with COVID-19, which recovered without requiring treatment for viral pneumonia. Differentiating re-expansion pulmonary edema from viral pneumonia is crucial to prevent unnecessary medication for COVID-19 pneumonia and pneumothorax.

Three Bronx, New York hospitals have admitted 49 cases of heroin intoxication (overdose) in adolescents during a period of three and a half years. The patients were aged 14 to 17 years, male in 42 cases, and addicted in only two cases. Patients presented with miosis, respiratory depression, obdundation, and, in 33 cases, thoracic rales, or rhonchi. Chest x-ray revealed infiltrates in 34 cases and blood gas analysis showed hypoxia and acidosis in 14 cases. Their course was complicated by pulmonary edema in 28 cases, pneumonia in 16, aspiration in 9, and permanent cerebral damage in 2 cases. Three cases were fatal. Therapy of choice is immediate institution of an airway and ventilation with oxygen. Naloxone (Narcan), a new narcotic antagonist should be administered intravenously, 0.01 mg/kg, with additional doses as clinically indicated.

OBJECTIVE: To report the case of an eight-year-old girl, without preexisting cardiac or renal disease, who developed acute pulmonary edema and severe respiratory distress after balanced electrolyte with polyethylene glycol (BE-PEG) intestinal lavage. CASE SUMMARY: During the nasogastric infusion of a one-liter dose of BE-PEG (OCL, Abbott), the patient experienced abdominal discomfort, gagging, vomiting, and coughing. After the nasogastric infusion, the patient again had emesis, developed tachypnea, intercostal retractions, and acute respiratory distress. She received oxygen and subsequently required intubation and ventilatory support. Physical examination revealed pulmonary congestion bilaterally but no signs of cardiac failure or sepsis. Chest X-ray revealed bilateral pulmonary edema. Ventilatory support was continued for 36 hours and the patient was extubated after two days. DISCUSSION: Enteral BE-PEG may have caused acute pulmonary edema secondary to aspiration or systemic fluid overload. Although the exact cause remains unknown, the close temporal onset of pulmonary edema after BE-PEG administration in an otherwise healthy child suggests a causal relationship. CONCLUSIONS: This case should alert clinicians to the potential for significant morbidity with BE-PEG solutions, particularly if used in outpatient settings. Patients who receive BE-PEG should be closely observed and monitored for potential aspiration, excessive infusion rates, and gastrointestinal symptoms to optimize efficacy and reduce morbidity.

A 12-year-old boy was referred with acute asymmetric pulmonary edema (APE) four-hour after scorpion sting to Emergency department. On admission, the main clinical manifestations were: dyspnea, tachypnea, and tachycardia. Chest x-ray revealed APE predominantly on the right hemithorax. The patient was treated with oxygen, intravenous frusemide and digoxin and discharged on the sixth hospital day in a good condition. This case report emphasizes the occurrence of asymmetric pulmonary edema after severe scorpion envenomation within few hours immediately after the sting.
