Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) use
De-implementation of Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) use
The center will use iNO per their usual protocol in the initial resuscitation period (defined as birth through stabilization and CDH repair). No center will alter any component of their standard clinical practice guideline or protocol governing CDH care.
The center will stop using iNO in the initial resuscitation period (defined as birth through stabilization and CDH repair).
