- Abstract:
- We report on a now 9-month-old infant with severe tracheobronchomalacia associated with campomelic dysplasia. The diagnosis of tracheobronchomalacia was suggested in the neonatal period by typical changes of the tidal breathing flow-volume loop and was confirmed by tracheobronchoscopy. Tidal breathing flow-volume loop analysis also allowed to titrate the optimal, continuous positive airway pressure for the respiratory management of the patient. Since bedside pulmonary function testing is noninvasive and rapid, it may reduce the need for frequent bronchoscopic evaluations in the management of patients with tracheobronchomalacia.
