Abstract:
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)is the most common chronic lung disease in preterm infants.Despite significant progress in the understanding of its etiology,mechanisms,prevention,and treatment,the prognosis remains poor.BPD not only has a high mortality rate but also causes persistent respiratory,neurological,and cardiovascular impairments in survivors.The author's team has successfully prevented the occurrence of BPD by managing neonatal lung diseases under lung ultrasound monitoring for nearly 7 years,opening up a new approach in BPD prevention.This article provides a brief overview of the approach,aiming to facilitate further research and provide more scientifically sound management strategies to prevent or minimize the occurrence of BPD.
