ABSTRACT
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is fraught with high infant mortality rates. However, the intervention strategy for severe PH is unclear. This case report discusses the utility of long-term high-dose inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) administration and that of oxygen therapy for the prevention of PH deterioration. A male infant weighing 864 g was delivered at a gestational age of 24 weeks and three days. The patient who had severe BPD was diagnosed with PH at a corrected gestational age (CGA) of 43 weeks. Although oxygen was administered to prevent PH, the patient still developed severe PH. Despite long-term high-dose (iNO) administration, the patient could not survive. The abovementioned treatment may exacerbate PH, and oxygen administration is less effective for the prevention of PH deterioration with BPD.
