Specialties & Conditions Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Program
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Program
The Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) Program at Lurie Children's is dedicated to the care, investigation and outcomes of infants with chronic respiratory failure. BPD is the most common complication of prematurity, severely affecting 20% of infants born under 1kg. Often, these babies require a significant amount of support, including ventilation and feeding assistance, and may have cardiac consequences from their lung disease.
