This book was released on 2016-01-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) as a chronic lung disease affecting preterm infants has been recognized for more than 45 years. However, little progress has been made in the prevention and treatment of the disease. BPD continues to be a major morbidity affecting preterm infants. Studies in pre-adolescent children demonstrate that the abnormal lung function from BPD persists well into childhood. Infants with BPD also have an increased risk for adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. Thus BPD imposes a significant burden of adverse health outcomes in preterm infants. The major risk factors for BPD are prematurity, mechanical ventilation, exposure to noxious insults such as oxygen, infections. New research data both in basic science and clinical studies have shed light on the pathogenesis, and possible new treatment or management strategies for the future. In the proposed issue of the Clinics in Perinatology, we would like to comprehensively cover BPD both from a basic science and clinical perspective. Our attempt is to balance new information along with classic topics. The proposed authors for the issue are recognized experts in the topic area/s. We hope that the issue will be of interest to a broad array of readership.

Download or read book Respiratory Support Strategies in the Prevention and Treatment of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia written by Huayan Zhang and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-07-26 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infant chronic lung disease (CLD), or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), one of the most common complications of prematurity, carries consequences of high mortality and morbidity. Lengthy hospitalizations, frequent readmissions, chronic cardiopulmonary impairment, poor growth, and long-term neurodevelopmental impairment are common in these patients. As a result, it is a disease with high social-economic impact, both to the health care system and society. Over the past few decades, advances in neonatal intensive care have led to improved survival of extremely premature infants world-wide, especially in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). This increased survival has also led to a larger number of infants with extremely immature lungs that are prone to abnormal lung development and lung injury. Consequently, the incidence of BPD has not decreased. Although respiratory support is a mainstay therapy for premature infants with acute or chronic respiratory insufficiency, there is currently a lack of strong evidence-based respiratory support strategies both in the prevention of BPD and treatment of infants with established BPD. Over the years, there has been a series of advancements in the respiratory management of premature infants, including but not limited to: less invasive methods of pulmonary surfactant delivery, multiple modalities of non-invasive respiratory support, neonatal-specific ventilators with better synchronization and monitoring capabilities, use of permissive hypercapnia to minimize the level of ventilation support, and international agreement on the oxygen saturation target. However, there have been controversies in the safety and efficacy of some of these treatments, and much more needs to be learned in how to best apply some of these therapies, especially in infants with evolving BPD and established BPD, as well as in resource-limited settings. This Research Topic will focus on respiratory support strategies in the prevention and treatment of BPD. We welcome both experimental and clinical research articles exploring the impacts of respiratory support on pulmonary mechanics, lung injury, lung growth and overall health in premature infants both during their early postnatal days and after they are diagnosed with BPD. This article collection will explore, but is not limited to, the following thematic areas: 1. Delivery room respiratory management in the prevention of BPD 2. Use of non-invasive respiratory support in premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), evolving BPD or established BPD 3. Mechanical ventilation strategies in intubated premature infants with RDS, evolving BPD or established BPD 4. Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) use in the prevention or treatment of BPD 5. Cardio-pulmonary interaction during respiratory support in preterm infants 6. Effects of different respiratory support modalities on pulmonary mechanics, lung injury and BPD-associated pulmonary hypertension 7. Impact of respiratory support on the growth and development of premature infants 8. Nursing care of premature infants on invasive or non-invasive respiratory support 9. Tracheostomy and long-term ventilation for infants with BPD 10. Post-discharge respiratory support management and respiratory follow up for infants with BPD 11. Impact of infection (bacterial or viral: including but not limited to gram negative oranisms, RSV, influenza, COVID-19, and others) on respiratory function in infants with BPD 12. Adjunctive therapies in addition to respiratory support in BPD prevention or in the treatment of BPD 13. Utility of bedside imaging (e.g. lung ultrasound, bronchoscopy, electric impedance tomography, etc.) in the selection and adjustment of respiratory support 14. Respiratory support-related quality improvement in the prevention or management of BPD 15. Family and staff education to care for premature infants with respiratory support.
Download or read book Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Past Current and Future Pathophysiologic Concepts and Their Contribution to Understanding Lung Disease written by Anne Hilgendorff and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2022-12-29 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying neonatal Chronic Lung Disease in the preterm infant, also known as Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, has led to pathophysiologic concepts which enable a more profound understanding of the disease and generate treatment strategies allowing for the improvement of structural and functional pulmonary outcome. Here, both clinical studies as well as animal models have cross-fertilized each other, translating the definition of clinical needs and the identification of important variables from bench to bedside and back. Elaborate animal models have been designed and refined following different aims reaching from the understanding of relevant pathways as well as the investigation of clinically meaningful treatment strategies. By the use of large study cohorts, significant relationships between risk factors and their confounders could be identified, impacting both research aims and clinical routine. First, following current topics in the field the research topic will enrich the knowledge and discussion concerning different pathophysiologic concepts by addressing the most important topics either by review articles or the publication of new and relevant original data. The invitation of outstanding researchers will provide a body of excellent data with respect to the endothelial, epithelial and mesenchymal cell compartment, the role of stem cells and the extracellular matrix. Furthermore, articles on long-term effects as well as the understanding of injury through hyperoxia and ventilation/stretch as well as infection and inflammation will cover the current concepts of injury imposed on the developing lung with relevance to the disease. With this overview, the current research topics in the field of BPD will be comprehensively covered. Second, in an area of expert`s opinion added to every chapter, we will follow our strong belief that our understanding of BPD pathophysiology can in the same time profit from input of other areas in lung research as well as enrich current concepts from research fields addressing further developmental as well as adult lung diseases. In order to better understand important aspects of BPD research as well as to question current concepts from a new perspective, the opening of different fields of lung research towards each other will be the second key focus of each article. In short, every chapter will i) focus on pathophysiologic models of the past, present and future that evolved to better understand BPD by the use of original data or as a review (Expert Review/Article) and ii) enlighten relevant parallels to other lung diseases by pointing out contributions where the field of BPD can contribute to the understanding of other pediatric and adult lung diseases or would benefit from the integration of concepts known in related fields of research (Expert Opinion).

Download or read book Preterm Birth written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-05-23 with total page 791 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing prevalence of preterm birth in the United States is a complex public health problem that requires multifaceted solutions. Preterm birth is a cluster of problems with a set of overlapping factors of influence. Its causes may include individual-level behavioral and psychosocial factors, sociodemographic and neighborhood characteristics, environmental exposure, medical conditions, infertility treatments, and biological factors. Many of these factors co-occur, particularly in those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged or who are members of racial and ethnic minority groups. While advances in perinatal and neonatal care have improved survival for preterm infants, those infants who do survive have a greater risk than infants born at term for developmental disabilities, health problems, and poor growth. The birth of a preterm infant can also bring considerable emotional and economic costs to families and have implications for public-sector services, such as health insurance, educational, and other social support systems. Preterm Birth assesses the problem with respect to both its causes and outcomes. This book addresses the need for research involving clinical, basic, behavioral, and social science disciplines. By defining and addressing the health and economic consequences of premature birth, this book will be of particular interest to health care professionals, public health officials, policy makers, professional associations and clinical, basic, behavioral, and social science researchers.
