title: Nursing care of the infant with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn.
abstract: Nursing care for PPHN can make the difference between a smoothly controlled hospital course and a disorganized and stressful one. The authors outline a method for coordinating the baby's care, the lines and monitors, ancillary services, and pharmacologic treatment while working closely with the physician and caring for the parents.
