Abstract
This article presents current data on the features of sleep-related breathing disorders in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and pulmonary hypertension. The data on BPD-associated pulmonary hypertension, morphological changes in lung tissue, possible complications and clinical outcomes in this pathology were summarized. The basic data on intermittent hypoxic episodes, apnea and periodic breathing and their influence on the development and maintenance of pulmonary hypertension were reviewed. The methods were described that allow to accurately differentiate the character of sleep-related breathing disorders for the purpose of timely diagnosis and correction of therapy. The feasibility of using polysomnography and cardiorespiratory sleep monitoring as diagnostic methods for this category of patients was substantiated. Key words: BPD-associated pulmonary hypertension, breathing disorder, preterm infants
