Neonatal resuscitation

Pulmonary haemodynamic disturbances in newborn babies are a serious problem that can arise from a variety of causes, such as congenital heart defects, respiratory distress syndrome or sepsis. These disorders can lead to inadequate oxygen supply to the body, resulting in hypoxia and organ damage. In neonatal resuscitation, rapid detection of pulmonary haemodynamic disorders is essential, as early diagnosis allows timely intervention and improved treatment outcomes. Prevention includes appropriate antenatal care, prompt and adequate respiratory and cardiac support after birth, and continuous monitoring of the neonate's condition and prompt intervention when signs of disturbance are observed.

Inhaled nitrogen monoxide (iNO) therapy

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.
