Treatment of pneumatosis cystoides coli by oxygen inhalation

A E Mackinnon et al. Arch Dis Child. 1977 Dec.

Abstract

Endotracheal intubation and intermittent positive pressure ventilation were used to overcome the difficulties of oxygen therapy for pneumatosis cystoides coli in a 9-year-old child with Down's syndrome and a congenital heart defect. As compared to previously reported cases, a shorter duration of treatment and a lower arterial oxygen tension proved successful.
