Question to the group. If you have a baby with evolving/established CLD who is still invasively ventilated and you are following a strategy of high TV, slow RR, and prolonged Ti, which ventilation mode would you choose? #BDP #CLD #neoTwitter #MedTwitter.

Interestingly, PDA is one of the statistically significant differences between the two groups. #NICU #BPD #CLD #PDA

Detection of pulmonary hypertension in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia using oxygen saturation data. In this study, the authors aimed to determine if they could detect which babies with BPD would develop PH from SpO2 data.

And yet: . "In summary, this meta-analysis demonstrated that GER.diagnosed by pH monitoring had no potential role in the development of BPD. However, GER requiring therapy or clinically diagnosed based on ICD-9 codes might be a risk factor for BPD. ".

“Finally, heterogeneity is a significant issue affecting the interpretation of meta-analysis results.”.

📌 Bottom line:.The AAP now recommends a selective, individualized approach—treat only symptomatic or high-risk PDAs, and avoid unnecessary interventions.

🔍 Key points:.• Not all PDAs need intervention—clinindividualized hemodynamic impact should guide decisions. • Echocardiographic findings alone are not enough. • Supportive care and watchful waiting are often safe and effective.

🩺 Why Selective Treatment Matters.Routine early PDA treatment (e.g., with NSAIDs or surgery) hasn’t consistently improved outcomes like BPD, NEC, or mortality—and may cause harm. Many PDAs close spontaneously with supportive care.
