The proposed check-valve mechanism for the development of pneumatoceles predicts that positive-pressure ventilation could lead to distension of these airspaces and formation of TPs. Therefore, high-frequency ventilation could be more applicable in conditions, such as massive air leak due to bronchopleural fistula, that are difficult to manage by conventional ventilator modes.[SDGs]SDG3arterial gas; article; bronchopleural fistula; case report; clinical feature; controlled study; disease association; female; high frequency ventilation; human; image analysis; pneumatocele; pneumonia; pneumothorax; positive end expiratory pressure; preschool child; priority journal; thorax radiography; treatment outcomejournal article10.1378/chest.121.1.284117964652-s2.0-0036157564
