Popis: 50 premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) were treated in the Perinatal Center of the University of Heidelberg from January 1990 to December 1992. Gestational age was 24-31 weeks and birthweight was 500 to 1430 grams. 27 infants received dexamethasone only and 14 were initially given dexamethasone followed by beclomethasone inhalation. Nine infants without assisted ventilation were only treated with inhaled beclomethasone. Infants with fluid intake > 150 ml/kg/d and 150 ml/kg/d. Our data show that dexamethasone and inhaled beclomethasone improved the clinical course of BPD in premature infants. Fluid intake had no influence on clinical outcome. Based on our results, we suggest guidelines for the treatment of BPD.
