Abstract
PURPOSE: Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are frequently undertaken in children with status asthmaticus and impending respiratory failure. However, the use of positive pressure for pediatric status asthmaticus is thought to be associated with the development of extrapulmonary air leaks. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) has been used as an alternative intermediary therapy in some children. The purpose of this study was to determine if the mode of positive pressure delivery per se affects the likelihood of development of an extrapulmonary air leak.
