Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) treated with inhaled nitric oxide: preliminary hearing outcomes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hearing of 28 children, born with a diagnosis of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) and treated with inhaled nitric oxide, was followed. The latest test for the children varied from 5 to 30 months. Of this group, three children had mild conductive hearing losses; no child had a significant sensorineural hearing loss.

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn refractory to inhaled nitric oxide-treated with milrinone: a case report.
Current therapy of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) consists of optimal ventilation, hemodynamic support and selective vasodilatation with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO). We present herein a case of PPHN non-responsive to iNO but treated successfully with a combination of iNO and intravenous milrinone, a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor. This case suggests that the drug may be...
متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of a Neonate with Idiopathic Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension with Inhaled Nitric Oxide via Nasal Cannula without Mechanical Ventilation
We report a case study of a term neonate presenting with oxygen desaturation without respiratory distress or acidosis, despite receiving 100% oxygen through a nasal cannula. Echocardiogram showed evidence of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). She was successfully treated with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) via nasal cannula without requiring mechanical ventilation. In a term n...
متن کاملLow-dose inhaled nitric oxide in term and near-term infants with hypoxic respiratory failure: a Malaysian experience.
Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) improves oxygenation in term and near-term infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) and decreases the need for treatment with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This mode of treatment is currently being introduced in Malaysia. We report our preliminary experience using low dose inhaled nitric oxide (20 parts per million) in three n...
متن کاملUpdate on PPHN: mechanisms and treatment.
Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a syndrome of failed circulatory adaptation at birth, seen in about 2/1000 live born infants. While it is mostly seen in term and near-term infants, it can be recognized in some premature infants with respiratory distress or bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Most commonly, PPHN is secondary to delayed or impaired relaxation of the pulmonary v...
متن کاملHigh prevalence of minor neurologic deficits in a long-term neurodevelopmental follow-up of children with severe persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn: a cohort study
BACKGROUND Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a severe condition that determines a profound brain hypoxia. Inhaled nitric oxide was approved for the treatment of PPHN since the end of the 1990s. The debate upon the long term outcome of these children is still open. Our aim was to investigate the incidence of minor long-term neurodevelopmental problems in a cohort of chil...
