Learning objectives

After viewing this presentation, the participant will be able to:

✔ Learn the impact of ventilation strategy on alveolar formation in the context of preterm birth, as an abrupt change in environment
✔ Learn the definition of epigenetics and its impact on regulation of gene expression
✔ Learn evidence of epigenetic regulation in lung health and disease
✔ Refresh knowledge about the lung’s developmental stages and the cascade leading to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)
✔ Gain insight into how preterm birth and subsequent ventilator support lead to epigenetic changes that impact alveolar phenotype
