NON-INVASIVE MANAGEMENT OF SEVERE SUBCUTANEOUS EMPHYSEMA IN A PEDIATRIC ASTHMA EXACERBATION: A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW

Non-invasive management of severe subcutaneous emphysema in a pediatric asthma exacerbation: a case report and review

Abstract Background Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) 6.5 Inch and subcutaneous emphysema (SE) are rare, severe, and potentially life-threatening complications associated with asthma exacerbation.Most of these conditions are benign and self-limiting.However, the overlapping symptoms between asthma exacerbation and pneumomediastinum (PM) may delay
