Lung disease in preterm infants increases the risk of emphysema later in life, according to Australian researchers. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease affects almost exclusively on life, high prematurity. Advances in perinatal care and intensive medicine neonatalogicheskoy, major influence on the pattern of the disease in the last 20 years. Even today, however, still, this pathology is associated with a high morbidity and mortality, especially in the group of the youngest children, believe with a birth weight of less than 1000 grams, Dr. Daniel C. Chambers, that the disease in a third of premature infants who are diagnosed promoted lung pathology, which is maintained throughout the duration of childhood. However, the long term effects of the disease in adults is not known. To further the study of this discipline in the study 21 subjects born prematurely in Western Australia in the 1980s. These children are born supplemental oxygen therapy on the BAP was performed. If the study participants 19 years, 15 of them had a share of 71%, there were problems with the respiratory tract, including the loud breathing, coughing and shortness of breath. Only three participants in the lungs to function properly according to standard tests. Lung disease was diagnosed in 19 participants after the computed tomography, including emphysema was found in 16 children. Experts believe that, thanks to modern technology, the survival of newborns increased, but again suffer more BPD lung disease in adults. According to the scientists should be recognition of the disease in adults ask your doctor about the pathology of the airways at birth.
