What Does BPD Stand For?
BPD stands for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung condition commonly seen in premature infants, characterized by inflammation and scarring in the lungs. It results from injury to the lungs caused by mechanical ventilation and oxygen therapy. BPD can lead to impaired lung function and may require ongoing medical management to support respiratory health and promote optimal growth and development. Early detection and intervention are critical for improving outcomes in affected infants.
