ABSTRACT

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a chronic lung disease unique to premature infants, which has a great impact on the survival and long-term quality of life of preterm infants.At present, there are no specific prevention and treatment methods for BPD.The clinical treatment is mainly comprehensive.Glucocorticoids are the most widely used in clinical practice.The drugs mainly include dexamethasone, hydrocortisone and budenonide.The route of administration includes intravenous administration, aerosol inhalation, intratracheal infusion combined with pulmonary surfactants, but its efficacy and possible adverse reactions need to be weighed.This article reviews the different results by different administration routes and dose of glucocorticoids.
