Abstract
INTRODUCTION: High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) is an alternative mode of ventilatory support for patients with severe adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) failing conventional ventilation. Reported complications include pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and subcutaneous emphysema. While necrotizing tracheobronchitis (NTB) has been widely reported in the pediatric literature with a reported incidence between 4–44%, it is rare in adults. We report a case of NTB associated with HFOV.
