Management of postoperative pulmonary hypertension by inhaled nitric oxide in a newborn with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
[congenital diaphragmatic hernia]
Postero-
lateral
congenital
diaphragmatic
hernia
(
CDH
)
is
a
life
threatening
anomaly
characterized
by
diaphragmatic
defect
and
intrathoracic
herniation
of
abdominal
viscera
.
In
patients
with
CDH
,
the
lungs
are
hypoplastic
and
persistent
pulmonary
hypertension
develops
in
most
cases
.
Although
,
inhaled
nitric
oxide
(
iNO
)
results
in
a
reduction
in
pulmonary
hypertension
with
improvement
in
oxygenation
,
its
benefit
in
the
patients
with
CDH
remains
controversial
.
In
this
report
,
the
authors
present
successful
management
of
postoperative
pulmonary
hypertension
by
iNO
in
a
newborn
with
CDH
.
