چکیده

BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is the most important complication of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and still has a high mortality rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of inhaled nitric oxide therapy in PH due to CDH. METHODS Hospital records of children who had undergone inhaled nitric oxide therapy for PH due to CDH between June 2009 and December 2011 were reviewed. RESULTS Twenty-nine patients had a diagnosis of CDH at the time of study, and eight of these patients underwent nitric oxide therapy because of failure of conventional ventilation techniques, which was successful in five of these patients. Patients who had a good overall outcome of nitric oxide therapy experienced rapid improvement (pretreatment, mean PaO2 = 44.8 mmHg; after the first hour of therapy, mean PaO2 = 96.8 mmHg), whereas patients with no response did not have a similar course (pretreatment, PaO2 = 37 mmHg; after the first hour, PaO2 = 54.6 mmHg). CONCLUSION Inhaled nitric oxide therapy seems to increase survival in PH due to CDH. No predictive parameters to orient patient selection could be identified; however, the early response seemed to predict the overall outcome. Good results in our series were attributed to routine use of sildenafil and dopamine, along with the nitric oxide inhalation.

Low-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...

Update 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...
