Nombres alternativos

DBP

Definición:

Es un trastorno pulmonar crónico que afecta a bebés recién nacidos que han estado con un respirador al nacer.

Causas, incidencia y factores de riesgo:

La displasia broncopulmonar (DBP) se presenta en niños pequeños gravemente enfermos que han recibido altos niveles de oxígeno durante largos períodos de tiempo o que han estado con un ventilador durante el tratamiento para el síndrome de dificultad respiratoria. Es más común en bebés prematuros cuyos pulmones no estaban completamente desarrollados al nacer.

Los factores de riesgo son, entre otros:

  • Prematuridad
  • Infección respiratoria
  • Cardiopatía congénita
  • Otra enfermedad grave del recién nacido que requiera tratamiento con oxígeno o con ventilador.

El riesgo de la displasia broncopulmonar grave ha disminuido en los últimos años.
