Abstract
Despite many advances in perinatology, especially in neonatology, bronchopulmonary dysplasia remains one of the most common complications among extremely premature infants (gestational age < 28 weeks). Infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia are prone to extrauterine growth retardation due to increased energy consumption of respiratory system, chronic stress, inflammation, drug use and fluid restriction. Adequate nutrition is essential for alveolus development, functional maturation of the lung, lung injury repair and prevention of infection. This review describes active nutritional strategy for extremely premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, including parenteral and enteral nutrition supplement, periodic nutritional assessment and nutrition adjustment in the event of extrauterine growth retardation. Key words: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia; Infant, extremely premature; Nutritional support
