Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a lung condition in premature infants characterized by inflammation and scarring in the lungs. It often develops in babies born prematurely with underdeveloped lungs and respiratory distress syndrome. Treatments for BPD include oxygen therapy, surfactant replacement, ventilation support, and medications like diuretics and bronchodilators to help manage symptoms. Long-term outcomes can include issues with feeding, growth delays, and heart or lung complications.
