Breakthrough Research, Exceptional Outcomes
Nationwide Children’s is an international leader in care and research for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and is home to the nation’s only dedicated unit for BPD. Our cutting-edge research has led to the use of aggressive ventilator settings that are shown to increase survival rate and improve long term outcomes. For patients with BPD, that translates to life-saving care for the most fragile babies.
