What is Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN)?
Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN) is a serious medical condition affecting newborns, characterized by high blood pressure in the lungs' arteries. This condition hinders the normal transition from fetal to neonatal circulation, leading to inadequate oxygenation of the blood. It can be life-threatening and requires prompt medical attention.
