Chronic Lung Disease
Chronic Lung Disease in children, also known as Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), is a long-term respiratory problem often found in premature infants. BPD occurs when a newborn’s lungs are injured, leading to inflammation and scarring of lung tissue. This damage can make it difficult for a baby to breathe, often requiring oxygen therapy.

Symptoms of Chronic Lung Disease:
- Rapid breathing or grunting

- Wheezing
- Chest retractions
- Tiring during and after feeding
Causes of Chronic Lung Disease:
- Use of high concentrations of oxygen, which can damage lung cells
- Prematurity, as the lungs, especially the air sacs, are not fully developed
- Low levels of surfactant, a substance that helps keep the tiny air sacs in the lungs open
