Inhaled iloprost as part of combination therapy for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn
Keywords:
Inhaled iloprost, persistent pulmonary hypertension, newborn
Abstract
Persistent pulmonary hypertension of thenewborn (PPHN) is rare, but life-threatening.
If not treated, PPHN may cause respiratory
failure and death in neonates. l,2,3 PPHN
often occurs in term or post-term infants with a history
of difficult labor, infection or asphyxia during birth.
These infants do not have adequate oxygen during
labor.3 Based on etiology, PPHN can be categorized
into primary PPHN, which occurs by itself without
apparent cause; or secondary PPHN, which is caused
by meconium aspiration, hyaline membrane disease,
neonatal sepsis with pneumonia, congenital heart
abnormality, or maternal drug use (non-steroidal
anti-inflammatories, methamphetamine, or selective
serotonin re uptake inhibitors) during the third
trimester of pregnancy.
