Abstract:
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a respiratory disorder that is frequently associated with premature infants.Prevention from its occurrence is perceived to be more valuable than its treatment due to the current lack of effective management.This article elaborated recent development in preventing premature birth and lung injuries caused by mechanical ventilation,oxygen toxicity,infection and inflammation,which played a central role in the development of BPD.
