AB Bronchopulmonary  dysplasia  (BPD)  is  an  iatrogenic,  chronic  lung  disorder  of  infancy  that  results  in  persistent  respiratory  symptoms,  medical  fragility,  and  in  most  cases,  the  long-term  need  for  supplemental  oxygen.  With  continuing  advances  in  the  care  of  critically  ill  neonates,  the  nomenclature  of  BPD  is  evolving,  as  is  its  incidence  and  pathogenesis.  Today,  BPD  is  often  referred  to  as  chronic  lung  disease  of  infancy  (CLDI).1  Both  BPD  and  CLDI  are  chronic  pulmonary  disorders  that  result  from  an  acute  and  often  critical  respiratory  illness  in  a  newborn  infant,  and  there  is  considerable  overlap  in  their  pathogenesis,  risk  factors,  and  manifestations.  Thus,  the  two  terms  are  generally  considered  to  be  interchangeable.
