Outcomes of infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia in the pediatric intensive care unit

Pediatrics International May 14, 2021

Choi YH, An HY, Kim YS, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective cohort study to examine the characteristics and overall all outcomes of ventilator-dependent severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (sBPD) patients who were transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) beyond 40 weeks‘ postmenstrual age (PMA), and to identify predictors of successful extubation in this population. From January 1, 2014, to September 30, 2018, 14 preterm infants with sBPD who were transferred to the PICU beyond 40 weeks’ PMA due to weaning failure were included. Age at referral and large airway obstruction were significantly linked to a reduction in successful extubation. Some of the prolonged ventilator‐dependent infants, even those beyond term age, could be successfully extubated if a timely and individualized multidisciplinary approach was used.
