In the current work we report the cause and physiopathology of pneumothorax produced due to the high pressures used during mechanical ventilation in newborns with Pulmonary Disease for Congenital Immaturity or Hyaline Membrane Disease caused by deficit of endogenous surfactant. We also propose several actions for the pre-and postnatal periods that used systematically would contribute to diminish the incidence of this entity and, at the end, to reduce morbidity and mortality due to this serious complication typical of this life period.Downloads
