This narrative review examines the factors associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature infants. It focuses on high-risk factors for developing this lung condition and major nursing interventions used to care for these vulnerable babies. The authors gathered information from existing reports to understand the current landscape of care and risk. No specific study size or follow-up period was reported in this review. Safety concerns were not detailed because the review did not analyze specific adverse events or discontinuations from a single trial. Because this is a narrative review rather than a new experiment, it summarizes what is already known rather than testing a new treatment. Readers should understand that this type of article provides a broad overview of the topic. It helps clinicians and families see the big picture of nursing care and risk factors. However, because it is not a new study, it does not prove that one specific action causes a specific result. The information is useful for general understanding but should be combined with other evidence when making care decisions.

What this means for you:
