Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a chronic lung disease that affects premature babies and contributes to their morbidity and mortality. Improved survival of very immature infants has led to increased numbers of infants with this disorder. This increase puts a heavy burden on health resources since these infants need frequent re-admission to hospital in ...

Respiratory outcomes and atopy in school-age children who were preterm at birth, with and without bronchopulmonary dysplasia [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To assess pulmonary function and the prevalence of atopy in school-age children who were very low birth weight as infants and to compare those who had bronchopulmonary dysplasia to those who did not.

Initial respiratory management in preterm infants and bronchopulmonary dysplasia [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Ventilator injury has been implicated in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Avoiding invasive ventilation could reduce lung injury, and early respiratory management may affect pulmonary outcomes.

Fluid and electrolyte balance during the first week of life and risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in the preterm neonate [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Early fluid and electrolyte imbalances may be associated with an increased risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. OBJECTIVE: We sought to establish an association between fluid and electrolyte balance in the first week of life and the risk of ...

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia [PDF]
In the absence of effective interventions to prevent preterm births, improved survival of infants who are born at the biological limits of viability has relied on advances in perinatal care over the past 50 years. Except for extremely preterm infants with suboptimal perinatal care or major antenatal events that cause severe respiratory failure at birth,

Simultaneous intratracheal administration of surfactant and budesonide in the prevention of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants [PDF]
Background: Premature birth is an important issue in developing and developed countries. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of budesonide and surfactant in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome and the prevention of ...
