Does respiratory distress syndrome cause bronchopulmonary dysplasia?

Babies born with respiratory distress syndrome can develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia, but not all infants will develop the condition. Respiratory distress syndrome affects newborns with underdeveloped lungs, especially premature babies. When their lungs don’t have enough of a liquid coating (surfactant), the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs don’t open as they should. Air sacs are necessary to help oxygen enter the bloodstream and release carbon dioxide from the blood to the lungs.

Babies with respiratory distress syndrome sometimes need to use a ventilator, and long-term ventilator use causes bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
