Chronic Pulmonary Insufficiency of Prematurity
Keyword(s):
In the January 1975 issue of Pediatrics, Krauss et al.1 described "the pathophysiology and clinical course of a group of small premature infants, generally under 1,200 gm at birth, who develop a syndrome of delayed respiratory insufficiency." This syndrome, which they termed "chronic pulmonary insufficiency of prematurity" (CPIP) occurred after the first four to seven days of life, following an initial period of general well-being; was characterized by a 50% to 70% loss of lung volume, marked hypoxemia, and hypercapnia; and could be distinguished from respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), Wilson-Mikity syndrome, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and pneumonia.
