Early Inhaled Nitric Oxide Therapy in Premature Newborns with Respiratory Failure

Abstract

Among premature newborns with respiratory failure, low-dose inhaled nitric oxide did not reduce the overall incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, except among infants with a birth weight of at least 1000 g, but it did reduce the overall risk of brain injury.
