Add to ORKGPleurodesis with fibrin glue has been used to treat bronchopleural fistulas and persistent air leaks in adults and neonates. We report successful use of fibrin glue in an extremely premature infant to seal a pneumothorax that had persisted for more than one week despite high-frequency ventilation. Key words: Fibrin glue, Pneumothorax, Low birthweight. Pulmonary air leaks in neonates receiving mechanical ventilation usually respond to chest tube drainage and high-frequency ventilation. Some patients with large bronchopleural fistulas may not respond with this conventional treatment. Fibrin glue is a plasma product which consists of mainly fibrinogen and thrombin. This material is used in cardiac, thoracic and maxillofacial surgery(1,2). The ...
