title: Infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia: a developmental perspective.
abstract: Infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are medically fragile and developmentally at risk for neuromotor and sensory delays. long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes can be positively impacted by an organized and purposeful program of developmental follow-up and early intervention. Nurses play an integral role in provision and coordination of the multifaceted health care required by these medically fragile infants.
