Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The incidence of retrolental fibroplasia (RLF, retinopathy of prematurity) is increasing, as more premature infants of lower birth weight are surviving. Currently, about 17% of premature neonates at risk will develop this condition, although in 85% of these cases it will undergo spontaneous resolution. This paper reviews our current knowledge and management of RLF, and aims to remind us that sophisticated monitoring techniques have not eliminated the problems of hyperoxia. |
