The purpose of this article is to review innovations in cardiopulmonary care of the high-risk, low-birth-weight infant. Recommendations are based on physiologic principles and a review of the research literature. The major problem experienced by the low-birth-weight neonate is respiratory distress syndrome (RDS); traditional treatment is discussed. Strategies for prevention, including antenatal corticosteroid administration and surfactant replacement, are described. Alternative methods of ventilatory support, including high-frequency ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, are detailed. Finally, treatment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and recommendations for prevention are delineated.
