Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) as an Adjunct to Neonatal Resuscitation

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Premature Infants, Very Low Birth Weight Baby

In brief

This study hopes to determine whether nitric oxide along with oxygen during the first 20 minutes of life in infants needing help with breathing will reduce the percentage and total exposure to oxygen during that time frame. Although the use of oxygen in management of breathing is an important part of supporting baby immediately after delivery, there is more evidence that too much exposure to oxygen may lead to potential problems for your baby later. Oxygen exposure can be harmful to premature babies developing lungs.
