Introduction:

bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a chronic disease that affects the premature newborn, which has required mechanical ventilation and oxygen supplementation because of its prematurity. Dysplasia is associated with multiple factors, among which are respiratory care measures.

Objective:

describe the relationship of bronchopulmonary dysplasia with parameters of respiratory care in premature infants under 32 weeks of gestational age in a neonatal unit in Bogotá during 2017.

Materials and methods:

Cross-sectional analytical observational study, developed using data extracted from a secondary registry database for preterm infants treated in a neonatal care unit in the city of Bogotá.

Results:

a 30% prevalence of dysplasia was found in this group and significant relationships (p <0.05) between the presentation of dysplasia and the administration of exogenous pulmonary surfactant and caffeine citrate (as protective factors), mechanical ventilation, non-invasive ventilation

Conclusions:

international guidelines and consensus direct their recommendations towards a more conservative management of respiratory care parameters for the premature newborn. MÉD.UIS.2021;34(2): 41-7.
