The effects of 0.1 mg, 0.25 mg, 0.50 mg, and 1.0 mg of nebulized furosemide per kilogram of body weight on pulmonary functions were studied in eight preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia who were supported by mechanical ventilation. Doses of 1 mg/kg significantly improved lung compliance (51% at 2 hours after nebulization), pulmonary resistance (28% at 1 hour), and tidal volume (43% at 1 hour), starting as early as 30 minutes after the dose; the effect lasted for at least 4 hours in many of the infants and was not associated with diuresis or renal side effects.
