Epidemiology of neonatal pneumothorax developed spontaneously and during respiratory supports in neonatal intensive care units

CONCLUSIONS: The most common type of pneumothorax was spontaneous in-onset. Neonates on HFV had the highest and those on nCPAPt the lowest rate of pneumothorax. Improving training of resuscitation techniques at birth and strategies of use of invasive modes of respiratory support may reduce incidences of all types of pneumothorax.PMID:38155385
