title: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
abstract: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia has become the most common pulmonary sequelae in neonates receiving mechanical ventilation. The pathogenesis of BPD is multifactorial, but prematurity, positive pressure ventilation, oxygen toxicity and pulmonary edema are some of the most important factors in its development. By minimizing these factors, it is possible to reduce the incidence and severity of BPD.
