Chronic lung disease in preterm infants
Abstract
The increasing significance of chronic lung disease (CLD) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a result of the increased survival of extremely small and preterm infants and a more aggressive management policy for respiratory failure. Many survive with persistent pulmonary dysfunction, the aetiology of which remains poorly understood. CLD consists of several descriptive categories which have a number of clinical features in common.
