[Bronchopulmonary dysplasia after treatment with continuous negative pressure].
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) rarely occurs in newborn infants with RDS ventilated using CNP devices. In this paper we describe a case of BPD following respiratory therapy with CNP in a preterm baby affected by hyaline membrane disease (HMD). Probably the rarity of BPD after CNP treatment is related either to less severe HMD in newborns weighing less than 1500 g, or to the low diffusion of CNP respirators in Neonatal Care Centers.
