PERSISTANT PULMONARY HYPERTENSION OF THE NEWBORN AND PULMONARY VASCULAR REMODELING

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), pulmonary oligoemia, hypoxemia, pulmonary vasodilatators, early surfactant, ductus areteriosus, foramen ovale, prostacyclin (PGI2 ).Abstract
Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) represents continued high pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) after birth resulting in extrapulmonary shunting of the blood from pulmonary to systemic circulation, leading to hypoxemia. The disorder can be idiopathic or primary or could complicate respiratory, neurologic, and cardiovascular morbidities. Perinatal asphyxia with meconium aspiration syndrome or pneumonia can result in impaired lung recruitment, suboptimal oxygenation, and pulmonary vasoconstriction.
