BRONCHOPULMONARY DYPLASIA IN INFANTS

Course overview

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in infants is a progressive and serious lung condition that involves the distal airways initially, but can damage any part of the lung. It is the most common chronic condition affecting preterm infants born earlier than 36 weeks’ gestation. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of BPD in infants, including signs, symptoms, treatment, and complications, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
