[Noninvasive ventilation of a 4-year-old boy with severe central late onset hypoventilation syndrome].

BACKGROUND: In the literature we found only five reports about noninvasive ventilation in cases with central hypoventilation syndrome. PATIENT AND METHOD: We report about a 4-year-old boy with severe late onset hypoventilation syndrome. During an interval of 3 months with nasal mask ventilation during sleep he showed an excellent cognitive and statomotoric development. After this time, he needed a noninvasive ventilation with a negative pressure system. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: In our opinion, noninvasive nasal mask ventilation is a modern method in the treatment of patients with central hypoventilation syndrome. Tracheotomy is only necessary during the first year of life.

[Noninvasive nocturnal nasal mask ventilation (NIPPV) in childhood and adolescence. Dresden experiences with 11 patients].

BACKGROUND: There are only small experiences with mechanical ventilation via nasal mask in childhood. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eleven patients using NIPPV (9 patients aged 4 to 18 years and 2 patients with cystic fibrosis aged 20 and 25 years). RESULTS: NIPPV was effective in all 11 patients. Seven patients needed supplemental oxygen. Theophyllin, Almitrin and Salbutamol could support the nasal ventilation in special conditions. CONCLUSION: Intermittent ventilation via nasal mask is a noninvasive and effective treatment of chronic respiratory failure in childhood. Monitoring with continuous pulse-oximetry is necessary.

[Experiences with the use of the double crown system. 2. The overlay prosthesis].

The results obtained by the authors permit the conclusion that cover dentures within the telescoping system cannot be considered profitable owing to loosening of the abutment teeth, irreparable injuries to the marginal periodontium and relatively considerable repair requirements. The injuries observed are so aggravating that the aesthetically pleasant designing of these prostheses, their relatively low laboratory fees and the possible saving of metal do not justify their use.
