Chronic lung disease (CLD) of prematurity may be caused by a number of insults during mechanical ventilation, including barotrauma and hyperoxia. To evaluate bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) in infants with CLD of prematurity, we measured changes in transcutaneous oxygen tensions (tcPO2) during m
