Careful fluid management is central to treating bronchopulmonary dysplasia because excess fluid can leak into the lungs, causing pulmonary edema, worsening gas exchange, and increasing the work of breathing in these already fragile lungs. By balancing fluids—monitoring daily weights, urine output, and electrolytes—and adjusting intake to losses, clinicians help reduce interstitial and alveolar edema, which can improve lung mechanics and oxygenation. Diuretic therapy may be used in some cases to help remove excess fluid, but it’s not a routine approach for every patient and requires close monitoring. The other options aren’t appropriate as universal treatments: high-dose steroids for all carries significant risks and isn’t used universally; routine antibiotics for everyone aren’t indicated without infection; and doing nothing misses a key factor in the disease’s progression.
