Background Most infants and children admitted to the pediatricintensive care unit (PICU) have respiratory distress and pulmonarydisease as underlying conditions. Mechanical ventilation may beused to limit morbidity and mortality in children with respiratoryfailure.Objective To assess a correlation between chest x-ray findingsand outcomes of patients with mechanical ventilation.Methods This retrospective study was held in Dr. KariadiHospital, Semarang, Indonesia. Data was collected from themedical records of children admitted to the PICU from Januaryto December 2010, who suffered from respiratory distress andused mechanical ventilation. We compared chest x-ray findings tothe outcomes of patients. Radiological expertise was provided byradiologists on duty at the time. Chi-square and logistic regressiontests were used for statistical analysis.Results There were 63 subjects in our study, consisting of 28 malesand 35 females. Patient outcomes were defined as survived or died,43 subjects ( 68%) and 20 subjects (3 2%), respectively. Chest x-rayfindings revealed the following conditions: bronchopneumonia48% (P=0.298; 95%CI 0.22 to 1.88), pleural effusion 43%(P=0.280; 95%CI 0.539 to 4.837) , pulmonary edema 6%(P=0.622; 95%CI 0.14 to 14.62) and atelectasis 3% (P=0.538;95%CI 0.03 to 7 .62). None of the chest x-ray findings significantlycorrelated to patient outcomes.Conclusion Chest x-ray findings do not correlate to patientoutcomes in pediatric subjects with mechanical ventilation inthe PICU of Dr. Kariadi Hospital, Semarang, Indonesia.

Acute respiratory distress can be life threatening if proper management is delayed. The cause of respiratory distress needs to be diagnosed quickly in order to administer appropriate and timely treatment. However, it is sometimes difficult to tease out various conditions that can present as acute respiratory distress. We present such a unique case of acute respiratory distress in a patient with anemia. We show how the ability to differentiate between cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema can help in diagnosis and appropriate timely management of acute respiratory distress.

Adult respiratory distress syndrome, presenting as rapid respiratory decompensation in the setting of preeclampsia at 36 weeks of gestation, was managed by early hemodynamic monitoring with pulmonary artery catheterization. With confirmation of the diagnosis of preeclampsia the patient was delivered promptly; improvement of her respiratory failure was observed within 48 hours. Consideration of adult respiratory distress syndrome in the setting of preeclampsia is discussed, with emphasis on early confirmation of the diagnosis and determination of the precise mechanisms of pulmonary edema.
