The use of nitric oxide in neonatal care.
Knowledge of NO and its role in the human body currently is limited. Further scientific research involving this unique molecule will expand its clinical usefulness. It is an exciting era in research,involving numerous body processes and systems. The initial work on pulmonary vascular response in newborns who have PPHN has opened the door to seemingly endless possibilities involving many aspects of health.
