Abstract

Ophthalmic administration of phenylephrine caused decreased pulmonary compliance, tidal volume, and peak airflow values in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia but not in control infants. The alpha-adrenergic effects of phenylephrine may aggravate the bronchospastic component of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
