Baraldi.E,Filippone.M(2007), mentioned that Northway et al(1967) described firstly that Brochopulmonary Dysplasia is a new chronic respiratory disease developed in premature infants exposed to mechanical ventilation and oxygen supplement. They also suggesting that lifelong consequences may be experienced by those babies affected with lung injuries.

Adams.J.M(2011), mentioned that “Despite important advances in perinatal care and a steady decline in mortality rates among very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (1 month), emphysematous alveoli are seen. Chronic lung damage eventually causes Pulmonary hypertension (caused by thickening of the inner-most lining of pulmonary arterioles), and results in cor pulmonale. Fibrosis, atelectasis, a cobblestone appearance due to uneven lung aeration, and pleural pseudofissures are often seen. Marked hypertrophy of peribronchiolar smooth muscle is present, (E-Medicine, 2009).
