    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Pediatric Pulmonology
    • Respiratory Health

    Background:

    • Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a frequent complication in extremely premature infants.
    • It is characterized by prolonged ventilator or oxygen dependence and specific radiographic findings.
    • The incidence of BPD remains a significant concern in neonatal intensive care units.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the etiologic factors contributing to the development of BPD in tiny infants.
    • To detail therapeutic interventions currently employed for managing BPD.
    • To present the authors' experience with BPD management in a large metropolitan hospital.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of clinical data from infants diagnosed with BPD.
    • Analysis of patient records to identify risk factors and outcomes.
    • Literature review of established and emerging treatment strategies for BPD.

    Main Results:

    • The study details the common etiologic factors observed in their patient population.
    • Specific therapeutic interventions and their observed effects are discussed.
    • The authors share their clinical experience and insights into managing BPD.

    Conclusions:

    • Bronchopulmonary dysplasia presents complex challenges in neonatal care.
    • Understanding etiologic factors is crucial for prevention and early intervention.
    • Effective management requires a multifaceted approach tailored to individual infant needs.
