    Introduction: Pulmonary graphics monitoring of lung during mechanical ventilation have shown a reliable data among many ventilated newborn infants. Exposure of the newborn infants and NICU staff to frequent radiation from X-ray chest carries great risk. Aim of work: The aim of this study is to correlate the chest X-ray changes to the pressure –volume loop findings. Subjects and methods: Fifty five ventilated newborn infants due to pulmonary disorders as well as fifteen newborn infants due to non-pulmonary causes were included in this study. They all subjected to medical evaluation and care according to the routine of our unit. The findings from X-ray were collected as well as the pressure volume loop monitoring data at the same time. The data were collected and analyzed using SPPS. Results: There was correlation be.. View More»
