Introduction[edit | edit source]

Pathology[edit | edit source]

The development of lung bullae is heterogenis. Most commonly they are COPD-related emphysematous bullae, whilst ventilator-associated lung bullae are a rarity.

Treatment[edit | edit source]

Management options are manifold, for example, simply treating the underlying disease, ventilation strategies to prevent progression of the bullous lung disease, and surgical or bronchoscopic intervention. [1]
