How is Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN) Treated?
PPHN occurs when a newborn's circulatory system fails to adapt to breathing outside the womb, leading to high blood pressure in the lungs. Treatment options include inhaled nitric oxide therapy, which helps dilate blood vessels in the lungs, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for severe cases.
