High-Yield Explanation
Ironchounimonary dvspiasia (EPD) BPD is a result of lung injury in infants requiring mechanical ventilation and supplemental oxygen. Most of the children with BPD are premature and have hyaline membrane disease. But, BPD can also occur in full term newborns with meconium aspiration or persistent pulmonary hypertension.
