Conditions studied: Infant, Premature, Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, Asthma

In brief

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how easily gas can be taken up by the lung. We are comparing infants born premature \<32 weeks gestation to infants born full term \>37 weeks. We hope to evaluate the differences between the two groups in order to learn more about premature lung growth and development.
