Abstract
Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is a potent and selective pulmonary vasodilator agent that improves arterial oxygenation and subsequent clinical outcomes for newborn infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Along with beneficial pharmacological properties, iNO also shows toxicological effects. Although the side effects of iNO have not been fully understood, these need to be thoroughly considered and monitored for the safe and effective clinical use of iNO. This article presents a review of the side effects of iNO and short-term and long-term clinical prognosis in newborn infants > or =34 weeks' gestation with PPHN.
Key Words: Nitric oxide; Infant newborn; Persistent fetal circulation syndrome
