Premature babies need oxygen and breathing support for weeks after birth. Their lungs gradually improve as they grow, but if a premature baby still needs additional support by the time they are the equivalent of 36 weeks of gestation we call this Chronic Lung Disease of Prematurity. The medical term for this is Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia or BPD.

The lungs become the primary organs of respiration. The lung blood vessels respond to the increase in the oxygen content of the blood by dilating. This encourages blood to flow to the lungs. The increased oxygen content of the blood encourages the heart ducts to close and so. the pattern of neonatal circulation is. established.

CLD can develop gradually after a few days of age because of the initial lung problems that preterm babies are often born with. The process of ventilation and infection together can lead to damage to the lungs.

One way to treat pleural effusion is to remove the fluid using a special needle. If the fluid builds up again, a special tube (called a pleuro–amniotic shunt) can be inserted. A needle is inserted through the woman’s abdomen into the womb, through the baby’s chest into the pleural cavity. A flexible, shaped tube is moved down the needle.

This may be due to a tiny tear to an outer edge of the lung, often at a weakened area where the tissue has formed a small ballooning (called a bleb). This means that there is an air leak from an existing lung disease. The lung tissues are weakened by disease, making it more likely to tear and allow air to escape.
