Abstract
Children (2) with severe bronchial collapse secondary to bronchomalacia improved dramatically after institution of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Treatment was discontinued after 14 wk without reappearance of symptoms. Repeated bronchoscopy revealed a diminution in the bronchial collapsibility. CPAP should be given if generalized bronchomalacia is present to tide the children over a bad period while the bronchus is becoming more stable.Keywords
