CPAP mask management of varicella-induced respiratory failure

N Sadovnikoff et al. Chest. 1993 Jun.

Abstract

Pneumonia is a complication of primary varicella infection that occurs most commonly in adults and may lead to life-threatening respiratory failure. We report a case of varicella pneumonia with impending respiratory failure in which endotracheal intubation was averted by the use of CPAP mask ventilation with a favorable outcome.
