Pulmonary Interstitial Emphysema (PIE) is an infrequently encountered yet consequential condition that primarily afflicts premature infants but can also manifest in adults. Infants born with low birth weight and prematurity are at a heightened risk for PIE, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and intervention. The pathological features of PIE involve lung damage stemming from alveolar and airway over-distention, compounded by air leaks. Clinicians must employ a comprehensive approach, incorporating exclusionary criteria, precise physical examination techniques, and targeted imaging to augment their index of suspicion.Given the potentially severe repercussions of PIE in neonates, healthcare professionals engaged in this activity will gain insights into various treatment modalities. Notably, the activity underscores critical contraindications to mechanical ventilation, shedding light on optimal management strategies. This activity reviews the epidemiology, diagnostic intricacies, and multifaceted management approaches, enhancing clinicians’ ability to contribute effectively to interprofessional teams.
