title: Inhaled nitric oxide in preterm infants with prolonged preterm rupture of the membranes: a case series.
abstract: The available evidence does not support the routine use of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) in the care of premature infants. We present a case series of 22 preterm infants born after prolonged preterm premature rupture of membranes and oligohydramnios with respiratory failure. Oxygenation index decreased significantly after commencement of iNO.
