Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is an acquired, developmental chronic lung disease that is a consequence of premature birth. In the most severe form of the disease, infants may require prolonged periods of positive pressure ventilation. BPD is a heterogeneous disease with lung mechanics that differ from those in respiratory distress syndrome; strategies to manage the respiratory support in infants with severe BPD should take this into consideration. When caring for these infants, practitioners need to shift from the acute care ventilation strategies that use frequent blood gases and support adjustments designed to minimize exposure to positive pressure. Infants with severe BPD benefit from a chronic care model that uses less frequent ventilator adjustments and provides the level of positive support that will achieve the longer-term goal of ongoing lung growth and repair.Keywords
