The 2010 NICHD Neonatal Research Network report used new severity-based and physiologic definitions of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) to estimate that as many as 68% of very-low-birthweight infants can be diagnosed with BPD. As the definition of the condition changes, recommendations for management continue to evolve. Objectives After reading this article, readers should be able to: 1. Define BPD. 2. Describe the epidemiology and pathogenesis of the "new BPD" as opposed to the old BPD. 3. Discuss the multisystem organ outcomes associated with BPD. 4. Outline a plan of care for infants who have BPD.
Technical and behavioral skills were highly correlated during simulated neonatal resuscitations. Individual behavioral skill correlations are likely dependent on both intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
