if infant is exposed to too much oxygen is can suppress what and lead to lack of vascular development and vasoconstriction

Q

when does the second stage of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) occur because there is proliferation of new vessels at the vascular and avascular area of the retina

A

32-34 weeks

Q

if blood flow and oxygenation is re-established ROP will

A

regress

if blood flow and oxygenation are not re-established, vessels that grow are abnormal, prone to hemorrhage, and swelling which can lead to
