Abstract
We retrospectively assessed atelectasis in 297 postextubation radiographs from 220 babies who underwent ventilation over a 2-year period. All 95 babies in the first year received peri-extubation chest physiotherapy; none of the 125 babies in the second year received chest physiotherapy. There was no difference in the incidence of postextubation atelectasis between the two groups.Mesh:
