Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Symptoms and Management

DEFINITION
Is injury to the lungs due to high concentration oxygen therapy and the use of a ventilator. This disease is more common in premature babies.

CAUSE
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia in infants who received ventilator and high concentration oxygen therapy in the long term. High concentration oxygen therapy is actually intended to treat respiratory distress syndrome in newborns. Lung injury can be caused by increased pressure in the lungs due to a mechanical ventilator or oxygen poisoning caused by exposure to high concentrations of oxygen and long term.

SYMPTOMS
  • Rapid breathing.
  • Bluish skin color.
  • Shortness of breath.
MANAGEMENT
Ventilator is usually necessary to put pressure on the lungs to inflate the lung tissue and provide supplemental oxygen. If the baby is able to adjust, then the pressure and oxygen concentration will be reduced gradually. Baby could have died.

In infants who survived, respiratory problems will disappear slowly. However, in the first years, the baby has a higher risk of pneumonia. Prevention To prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia, respiratory aids should be released as soon as possible or use shortened.
