Mok, Q; Yates, R; Tasker, R C
- Abstract
The management of 32 consecutive term infants referred with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn were reviewed. Despite indices suggesting severe cardiorespiratory failure with a median alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient of 591 torr (inter-quartile range 432-618) and oxygenation index of 31 (18-44), all but one patient responded to conventional treatment with inhaled nitric oxide and high frequency oscillatory ventilation.
