Filter by:To identify biochemical, clinical, or genetic biomarkers that may predict responsiveness to iNO in neonates with PPHN/HRF. The primary outcome will be identification of any biomarker(s) associated with response to iNO therapy. We will evaluate related biomarkers at various time-points during disease progression and in response to therapy, including single nucleotide polymorphisms in the cyclic adenosine monophosphate/cyclic guanosine monophosphate-Phosphodiesterase (PDE) pathway, indicators of metabolic dysregulation and inflammation, as well as biochemical markers of heart strain. We will perform targeted neonatal echocardiograms to evaluate severity of PPHN and heart function both as an added clinical biomarker and to follow disease progression.
Clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of salbutamol for the treatment of neonates with a gestational age between 32 and 42 weeks with transient tachypnoea of the newborn (TTN).
The aim of this pilot randomized controlled blinded study is to evaluate the feasibility of using nebulized magnesium sulfate in the treatment of PPHN.
Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn (TTN) is one of the common causes of neonatal respiratory distress as a result of delayed clearance of fetal lung fluid. Neonates with TTN usually require noninvasive respiratory support (e.g. nasal cannula, nasal CPAP) and may need supplemental oxygen therapy to maintain normal oxygen saturation levels. There have also been reports of "malignant TTN," in which affected children develop persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN).
Sildenafil is efficacious in newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension and its use will reduce the need for inhaled nitric oxide.
