Descriptor English: Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Descriptor Spanish: Displasia Broncopulmonar
Descriptor displasia broncopulmonar
Scope note: Enfermedad pulmonar crónica que aparece después de la OXIGENOTERAPIA o la VENTILACIÓN MECÁNICA que generalmente se da en ciertos LACTANTES PREMATUROS o en recién nacidos con síndrome de dificultad respiratoria (SÍNDROME DISNEICO RESPIRATORIO DEL RECIEN NACIDO). Histológicamente se caracteriza por anomalías en los bronquiolos, como la METAPLASIA, disminución del número de alveolos, y formación de QUISTES.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D001997
Scope note: A chronic lung disease developed after OXYGEN INHALATION THERAPY or mechanical ventilation (VENTILATION, MECHANICAL) usually occurring in certain premature infants (INFANT, PREMATURE) or newborn infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME, NEWBORN). Histologically, it is characterized by the unusual abnormalities of the bronchioles, such as METAPLASIA, decrease in alveolar number, and formation of CYSTS.
