[Bronchopulmonary dysplasia in newborns]].

Published data on the modern state-of-art of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in newborns were analyzed as a complication of prolonged artificial pulmonary ventilation (APV). Agents that can affect an underformed lung in an immature newborn and which can trigger a chronic pathology yet on the 1st month life are under discussion. Modern concepts related with the development of bronchopulmonary dysphasia in newborns after a prolonged APV as well as the key issues of treatment and prevention of the mentioned disease are in the focus of attention.
