Complex Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) Program

Infant on nasal cannula
The Complex Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) Program at Children’s National Hospital specializes in caring for infants and children with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia. BPD is a disease that affects infants born prematurely, leading to disruption of pulmonary development and subsequent lung injury. Babies with BPD often require oxygen or ventilator support. In addition to poor lung function, BPD is also associated with poor growth, delayed neurodevelopment and challenges managing typical respiratory illnesses of childhood.
