Session

Description: Infants born preterm with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) may have prolonged hospitalization and ongoing needs for respiratory support after discharge. Unfortunately, BPD also is associated with increased risk for cerebral palsy, developmental delays and autism during the first years and cognitive impairments later in childhood. Supporting development and family wellness for these patients during prolonged hospitalizations and after discharge may be complicated by ongoing health concerns and readmissions.

The purpose of this session will be to share different management strategies used to support infants with BPD and their families. Some hospitals have developed BPD programs that manage infants during inpatient hospitalizations for up to one year or more, hoping to avoid tracheostomy and minimizing the burden of care for families after discharge. In other situations, infants are discharged home with tracheostomy or supplemental oxygen. Different strategies may be needed for developmental support and ongoing bonding of parents and infants. In this session, we will share practices and outcomes from both of these types of care.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe different models of in-hospital and post-discharge developmental care for premature infants with severe BPD requiring prolonged hospitalization.
  • Discuss the impact of prolonged needs for respiratory support on developmental outcomes of premature infants with BPD, and parental bonding/attachment.
  • Discuss nutrition management (inpatient and post discharge) of the premature infant with BPD.
