ABSTRACT

The case of an infant with congenital lobar emphysema is reported, who was treated in the Southern Children Hospital of Santiago de Cuba with history of recurrent respiratory symptoms and several previous hospitalizations. Initially he was admitted with bronchopneumonia and dyspnea, and the presence of pneumothorax was suspected, but a definitive diagnosis was obtained by radiological studies and surgical treatment was decided. In the intraoperative period he had a cardiovascular complication (extreme bradycardia), which was treated with appropriate measures (100% oxygen, direct heart massage and atropine sulfate), which allowed a satisfactory postoperative course in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
