Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialInhaled nitric oxide in term infants with hypoxemic respiratory failure.
To determine whether inhaled nitric oxide (NO) administered during conventional mechanical ventilation could produce improvements in oxygenation and reduce the incidence of meeting extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) criteria in infants with hypoxemia. ⋯ Although inhaled NO produced a transient improvement in oxygenation in some infants, it did not reduce the incidence of meeting ECMO criteria in this population.
