[Recent findings on the subject of bronchopulmonary dysplasia].
The improved techniques of medical care and reanimation of newborns have caused a relevant increase in the survival of those with a very low weight at their birth. Pathologies related both to the tissue immaturity of the patients treated and to the exceptionally strong technic of reanimation have increased: the bronchopulmonary dysplasia described by Northway and Coll. in 1967 is one of them. This work aims at examining the latest acquisitions of the syndrome, which in its early stages is still indistinguished from serious cases of HMD. The most efficient treatments applied are explained and prevention is stressed as the best therapy. The A. concludes that the reanimation therapy and the respiratory assistance should be carefully monitorized and there should be a close relationship between the neonatologist and the anaesthesiologist.
