137 BRONCHOPULMONARY DYSPLASIA
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | PATHO 1
STUDY GUIDE & PRACTICE TEST 2026/2027
bronchopulmonary dysplasia
what would contribute to development of the "new" bronchopulmonary dysplasia a very preterm baby?
interruption of the canalicular stage of lung development
what new bronchopulmonary dysplasia measures would show a mild case of the condition?
breathing room air upon discharge, needed supplemental oxygen for 28 days
what new bronchopulmonary dysplasia measures would indicate a severe case of the condition?
needs greater or equal to 30% oxygen upon discharge, needs nasal CPAP at discharge, needed
supplemental oxygen for 28 days
what can rise an infant’s likelihood of acquiring bronchopulmonary dysplasia?
bacterial sepsis
what ventilator parameters have been connected to the growth of bronchopulmonary dysplasia?
Tidal volume less than 5
During mechanical ventilation What alterations resolve when stress fractures of the capillary
endothelium and basement membranes change?
fluid leakage into alveolar spaces
what can elevate an infants likelihood of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia?
patent ductus arteriosus
What methods with mechanical ventilation have been used to assist in preventing the growth of
bronchopulmonary dysplasia?
keep the Paco2 above 55 mm Hg, low tidal volumes, high ventilator respiratory rate
what vital nutrient preserves the epithelial cells of the tracheobronchial tree?
vitamin A
