AB  - Classic  bronchopulmonary  dysplasia  (BPD)  is  a  neonatal  form  of  chronic  pulmonary  disorder  that  follows  a  primary  course  of  respiratory  failure  (eg,  respiratory  distress  syndrome  [RDS],  meconium  aspiration  syndrome)  in  the  first  days  of  life.  It  is  sometimes  referred  to  as  chronic  lung  disease  (CLD)  of  prematurity.  A  “new”  form  of  BPD  has  been  described  in  extremely  low  birthweight  infants.  This  occurs  in  infants  who  initially  had  none  or  modest  initial  ventilatory  and  oxygen  needs.  BPD  is  defined  as  persistent  oxygen  dependency  up  to  28  days  of  life.  The  severity  of  BPD-related  pulmonary  dysfunction  in  early  childhood  is  more  accurately  predicted  by  an  oxygen  dependence  at  36  weeks'  postmenstrual  age  (PMA)  in  infants  <32  weeks'  gestational  age  (GA)  and  at  56  days  of  age  in  infants  with  older  GA.  BPD  is  thus  classified  at  this  later  postnatal  age  according  to  the  type  of  respiratory  support  required  to  maintain  a  normal  arterial  oxygen  saturation  (89%).
