air embolism develops in newborns mostly secondary to idiopathic air infusion, necrotizing
enterocolitis and pulmonary air leak syndromes. A girl infant weighing 1355 g was
born at gestational of 28 weeks. She developed apnea and cardiopulmonary arrest
secondary to clinical sepsis at postnatal day 9. On radiography and
ultrasonography of the premature infant following cardiopulmonary resuscitation
for 30 minutes, air was detected in the cranial, systemic and pulmonary
vascularity. At long-term followed up of the patient with return of spontaneous
circulation with resuscitation, cortical cystic leukomalacia and necrotizing
enterocolitis developed secondary to air embolism. The patient intubated was
lost at the day 180 of her life. In this case report, we presented a preterm
infant who developed systemic air embolism due to prolonged resuscitation. </span> <br /> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Zeynep Kamil Kadın ve Çocuk Hastalıkları EAH}
