Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • infants born at less than 1500 grams at birth, who remain on positive pressure support for at least 7 days after birth AND/OR on any other respiratory device such as nasal cannula with flow rates greater than 2LPM receiving supplemental oxygen of greater than 21% for at least 7 days after birth. Positive pressure for the purposes of this study is defined as nasal cannula delivering a flow of 2 LPM or higher, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), non-invasive positive pressure ventilation or non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIPPV/NIMV), as well infants who are intubated or have a tracheostomy for oxygenation and ventilation related to their lung disease, irrespective of the mode of ventilation.

Exclusion

  • infants who were previously on room air without a respiratory device who were intubated for the purposes of surgery and were not receiving respiratory support as defined above prior, those intubated for other airway issues such as tracheal stenosis, broncheo- or tracheomalacia, etc and not for the management of BPD. Additional patients to be excluded include those with suspected or proven genetic or other major congenital anomalies that may impact cardiac and lung function including cardiac and lung anomalies, as well as those at the time of enrollment who require surgeries that will impact their ability to be placed in prone positioning (eg gastroschisis, omphalocele, etc).
