Some studies have reported beneficial effects from long, tapering 42-day course of dexamethasone. Short term regimens have also shown beneficial effects on ventilator dependent infants with CLD. Although steroid therapy has been successful in infants with established CLD, more recently, dexamethasone therapy is being initiated in infants with RDS considered to be at risk for developing CLD. Some of the initial studies reported higher rates of infection, but more recent prospective data have not shown an increased incidence of sepsis in patients treated with steroids. Presently, early steroid therapy appears to be beneficial to minimize lung injury in infants treated with surfactant Dr. K C Chaudhuri Foundation, 1996 Dexamethasone nationallicence Steroids nationallicence Chronic lung disease nationallicence Low birth weight infants nationallicence Sardesai Smeeta Department of Pediatrics, University of Southern California School of Medicine, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. aut Durand Manuel Department of Pediatrics, University of Southern California School of Medicine, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. aut The Indian Journal of Pediatrics Springer India 63/1(1996-01-01), 61-64 0019-5456 63:1<61 1996 63 12098 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02823868 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02823868 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Sardesai Smeeta Department of Pediatrics, University of Southern California School of Medicine, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Durand Manuel Department of Pediatrics, University of Southern California School of Medicine, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- The Indian Journal of Pediatrics Springer India 63/1(1996-01-01), 61-64 0019-5456 63:1<61 1996 63 12098 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
