The purpose of this report is to describe a syndrome of delayed respiratory distress occurring in premature infants, usually under 1250 gms. at birth. Unlike hyaline membrane disease (HMD), this syndrome occurs after 5-10 days of life in a previously healthy infant; unlike HMD it persists for 2-4 weeks. Chronic pulmonary insufficiency of prematurity (CPIP) carries a 10-20% mortality. The infants are frequently apneic and require supplemental oxygen, but lack the characteristic radiologic findings of HMD, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, Wilson-Mikity syndrome, or oxygen toxicity. Compared to healthy infants under 1250 gm. at birth (nl) infants with CPIP demonstrate the following abnormalities:Recovery is usually complete in 60 days. An awareness of CPIP can eliminate a false sense of security, often communicated to anxious parents, during the 5-10 day period before the onset of CPIP. The physiologic similarity between CPIP and HMD suggests lack of surfactant as the etiology of CPIP.
