Early complications include:

  • patent ductus arteriosus with congestive heart failure
  • pneumothorax
  • pulmonary interstitial emphysema
  • lobar collapse
  • cerebroventricular haemorrhage

Late complications are principally the result of oxygen toxicity and barotrauma leading to chronic lung disease, ie bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
