- Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants is associated with impaired alveolar growth, inflammation and airway hyperreactivity. In animal models of BPD, inhaled nitric oxide (NO) improves alveolar growth and inhibits airway smooth muscle proliferation. This study was designed to assess the effect of inhaled NO on resistance and compliance in ventilated preterm infants with evolving BPD.
