[Clinical analysis of nosocomial infection and risk factors of extremely premature infants].
To investigate the incidence of nosocomial infections of extremely premature infants and to explore the risk factors and strategies for infection control. ⋯ Extremely preterm infants were at higher risk of nosocomial infection. It is important to identify the high risk factors for nosocomial infections in extremely premature infants. To shorten time for mechanical ventilation, central venous catheterization and hospitalization days would be conducive to reducing the morbidity of nosocomial infection.

Case Reports[Non-invasive mechanical ventilation in a child with central hypoventilation syndrome: one year follow-up].
To investigate clinical features and therapeutic methods of late-onset central hypoventilation syndrome. ⋯ The late-onset congenital central hypoventilation syndrome in this case had onset of symptoms at 2 years of age, he had normal breathing while he was awake but had oxygen desaturation and CO2 retention during sleep, therefore, respiratory support is required in severe cases. Mechanical ventilation via tracheotomy and non-invasive ventilation via mask are the major choice.

Case Reports[Clinical analysis of 4 children with negative pressure pulmonary edema].
To analyze the clinical characteristics of negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE). ⋯ NPPE is a life-threatening emergency, which is manifested by rapid onset of respiratory distress rapidly (usually in several minutes, but might be hours later) after relief of the airway obstruction, with findings of pulmonary edema in chest radiograph. The symptoms resolve rapidly by oxygen therapy timely with or without mechanical ventilation. In children with airway obstruction, NPPE should be considered.
