Las recomendaciones incluidas en este documento señalan las actuales indicaciones del tratamiento con óxido nítrico inhalado en el recién nacido, diferenciando claramente las apoyadas en evidencia científica de las que todavía no lo están, como su uso en prematuros o cardiopatías congénitas.

The recommendations in this document highlight current indications for inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) treatment in the newborn by clearly differentiating between those that are supported by scientific evidence and those for which evidence is still lacking. However, the use of this treatment in preterm infants and in those with congenital heart disease has not yet been scientifically approved. We discuss the methodology, dosage and adverse effects of iNO administration, as well as the reasons for its ineffectiveness.
