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.

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.

This book was released on 2024-06-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ventilatory Management of Severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD): A Very Short Review Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains a significant challenge in neonatal care, with its incidence alarmingly high despite advancements in medical technology and treatment. "Ventilatory Management of Severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD): A Very Short Review" offers an insightful review and critical analysis of current strategies for managing this complex condition, tailored specifically for medical professionals. Overview: This concise guide delves into the pathophysiology of BPD, characterized by parenchymal, vascular, and airway damage. It examines both the "new" and "old" forms of BPD, highlighting how changes in disease patterns have influenced current treatment approaches. The book meticulously describes the transition from acute respiratory illness to chronic BPD, outlining the different respiratory patterns observed in preterm infants and their implications for prognosis. Physiological Principles and Respiratory Support Strategies: Medical professionals will find detailed discussions on common errors in ventilation management, such as treating BPD infants as if they are still in the acute phase of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) or attempting early extubation. The book advocates for a nuanced understanding of the multi-compartment lung model, emphasizing the need for tailored ventilation strategies that address the heterogeneous nature of BPD-affected lungs. Recommended Ventilation Strategies: The guide provides a thorough evaluation of various ventilation modes, with a focus on the combined use of volume-guaranteed synchronized intermittent mechanical ventilation (SIMV+VG) and pressure support ventilation (PSV). While these recommendations are not supported by randomized controlled trials, they are based on sound physiologic principles and aim to optimize ventilation based on regional lung mechanics. Detailed recommendations on optimal settings-frequency, tidal volume, PEEP, inspiratory to expiratory ratio, and peak inspiratory pressure-are provided. Advanced Ventilatory Techniques: A significant portion of the book is dedicated to Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV), explaining its principles, mechanisms, and the rationale for its use in severe BPD. The text highlights how APRV's high continuous positive airway pressure supports alveolar recruitment, enhances oxygenation, reduces ventilator-induced lung injury, and supports spontaneous breathing, making it a compelling option for managing the complex lung pathology seen in severe BPD. Monitoring, Weaning, and Tracheostomy Considerations: Practical guidance on monitoring clinical indicators, blood gas targets, and the use of echocardiography for managing pulmonary hypertension is provided. The book also discusses strategies for weaning, emphasizing the importance of a slow and cautious approach to ensure adequate gas exchange and support growth. Additionally, it addresses tracheostomy considerations, outlining when it may be necessary and the potential respiratory and neurodevelopmental outcomes. Conclusion: "Ventilatory Management of Severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD): A Very Short Review" is an essential resource for neonatologists, pediatric pulmonologists, and critical care specialists. While the recommendations are based on physiologic principles rather than randomized controlled trials, this book provides valuable insights and practical guidance for managing severe BPD. It underscores the importance of tailored ventilatory strategies based on a nuanced understanding of the evolving pathophysiology of BPD, making it a vital addition to any medical professional's library.

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.
