Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a breathing disorder where an infant's lungs become irritated and do not develop normally. It occurs most often in low-weight infants born more than two months early. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is also known as: Chronic lung disease of premature babies. No available medical treatment can immediately cure bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Treatment is focused on supporting the breathing and oxygen needs of infants with BPD and to help them grow and thrive. This strong anti-inflammation medicine has some serious short-term and long-term side effects.
