What are the Long-term Effects of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia?
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia is a chronic lung condition that primarily affects premature infants who have received prolonged mechanical ventilation and oxygen therapy. Long-term effects may include chronic respiratory issues, such as recurrent wheezing and susceptibility to respiratory infections. Some children may experience growth delays and developmental challenges. Long-term follow-up with a pediatric pulmonologist is often required.
