AB  - Bronchopulmonary  dysplasia  (BPD)—sometimes  called  chronic  lung  disease  of  infancy—is  a  disorder  of  lung  injury  and  repair  in  infants  who  developed  respiratory  failure  after  birth  and  is  characterized  by  persistent  respiratory  signs  and  symptoms.  The  pathogenesis  of  BPD  is  related  to  prematurity  and  the  treatment  of  the  accompanying  early  respiratory  failure;  the  treatment  interacts  with  the  immature  developing  lung,  causing  further  injury  and  delayed  repair.  The  injurious  effects  of  treatment  include  barotrauma  from  positive-pressure  ventilation  and  oxygen  toxicity.  However,  other  therapies  developed  in  the  past  40  years  have  led  to  a  different  clinical,  histological,  and  radiographic  presentation  and  have  redefined  the  condition.  For  a  more  detailed  discussion  of  the  pathogenesis,  risk  factors  and  prevention  of  BPD  see  Chapter  59.
