Abstract
One of the most common respiratory pathologies in infants born prematurely is bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Pulmonary hypertension is considered a formidable and difficult to diagnose complication of BPD. Maintaining the proper level of oxygen saturation is an integral part of nursing such patients. To diagnose respiratory pauses and episodes of desaturation during sleep, children undergo cardiorespiratory monitoring (KRM) aimed at recording episodes of apnea and hypopnea. The article discusses a clinical case of cardiorespiratory monitoring during sleep in a hospital and outpatient setting to monitor additional oxygen therapy in a premature baby suffering from bronchopulmonary dysplasia and BPD-associated pulmonary hypertension.
