Nitric oxide given via a head-box for persistent neonatal pulmonary hypertension
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 August 2008
Abstract
A neonate presenting with persistent pulmonary hypertension and severe hypoxemia was treated with nitric oxide administered into a head-box. Improvement of clinical, biochemical and echocardiographic parameters were observed during therapy, suggesting an acute decrease of pulmonary arterial pressure. It is feasible to administer nitric oxide to non-ventilated neonates provided all recommended safety precautions are observed
