University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City The nutritional needs of the child with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) vary significantly from those of a healthy child. To address the many special aspects of the nutritional care of the child with BPD, a nutrition management protocol was established at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. This protocol discusses caloric requirements; selection of enteral feedings; electrolyte, vitamin, and mineral supplements; growth, oral feeding advancement, and monitoring of nutritional status. Although many of the guidelines are supported by research, some are based on clinical practice. Many questions remain to be answered about the optimal nutrition therapy for these infants. One goal of this protocol is to stimulate discussion and research that will lead to a better understanding of the nutritional requirements of the BPD population.
