Treatment for PPHN aims to improve oxygenation and reduce pulmonary vascular resistance. Common interventions include:
- Oxygen Therapy to ensure adequate oxygen levels. - Mechanical Ventilation to support breathing. - Inhaled Nitric Oxide which acts as a pulmonary vasodilator. - Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for severe cases where conventional treatment fails. - Medications such as sildenafil or milrinone to help relax the pulmonary arteries.
