Neonatal resuscitation
Inhaled nitrogen monoxide (iNO) therapy is an important treatment modality in neonatal resuscitation, particularly for pulmonary hypertension. iNO helps to dilate the blood vessels of the lungs by reducing vascular resistance and improving oxygen uptake. This is particularly useful in neonates with severe respiratory problems as it rapidly improves oxygen delivery to the body, reduces the risk of hypoxia and increases the likelihood of survival. iNO therapy can be vital when other therapies are ineffective or have limited effect.
