Premature infants with sBPD are at a high risk of acute decompensation and subsequent cardiopulmonary arrest. A comprehensive determination of the complex phenotypes that contribute to the clinical presentation will help clinicians decipher the phase of care, identify cardiopulmonary compromise earlier and guide targeted therapeutic intervention during acute episodes of deterioration. The approach to resuscitation of premature infants with sBPD undergoing an acute decompensation differs from general neonatal and pediatric resuscitation practices. This review summarizes the phenotypes of sBPD, the phases of care, the common triggers of acute exacerbations, and the principles of resuscitation of a deteriorating infant with sBPD.
