N2 - Following a Glenn shunt, an infant required mechanical ventilation (IPPV) for pneumonia, a phrenic nerve palsy and chylothoraces. In order to improve her deteriorating clinical condition, we used continuous negative extrathoracic pressure (CNEP) to minimise the deleterious effects of IPPV on pulmonary blood flow. She was successfully weaned from IPPV and supported with CNEP.
