Chronic lung disease in preterm infants

V Y Yu. Zhonghua Min Guo Xiao Er Ke Yi Xue Hui Za Zhi. 1993 Sep-Oct.

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.
