[Significance of capnography in cases of pneumothorax occurring during artificial respiration]
Abstract
The author reports the case of a premature new-born presenting a respiratory distress syndrome who was ventilated through a tracheal tube and in whom an artificial pneumothorax developed. Capnography quickly provided accurate data allowing an adaptation of therapy.
