Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to to study the role of oral Sildenafil in Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of Newborn (PPHN) secondary to Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS) in newborns and to study risk factors of MAS developing into PPHN.


Clinical Trial Description

Design: Randomized control trial Setting: Neonatal intensive care unit in a tertiary care hospital Patients: Patients diagnosed with MAS with PPHN according to clinical criteria. 97 patients with MAS were enrolled in the study over a period of 8 months, out of which 40 patients with PPHN were randomized into two groups. Intervention: Group A received Sildenafil through a feeding tube (1 mg/kg/dose q6h) for 8 doses. Group B received a placebo. Outcome measures: Improvement in oxygen saturation (SpO2), oxygenation index (OI), duration of hospitalization and mechanical ventilation and mortality. ;
