At Well Baby Hospital in Guntur, we are dedicated to providing advanced and effective treatments for newborns with critical health conditions. One such innovative treatment is Inhaled Nitric Oxide (INO) therapy, which plays a vital role in managing severe respiratory and cardiovascular issues in newborns.
What is Inhaled Nitric Oxide (INO) Therapy?
Inhaled Nitric Oxide (INO) therapy involves administering nitric oxide gas to newborns through a ventilator or breathing tube. Nitric oxide is a potent vasodilator, meaning it helps relax and widen blood vessels. This therapy is particularly beneficial for newborns suffering from persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) and other severe respiratory conditions, as it helps improve oxygenation and reduce the strain on the heart and lungs.
Benefits of INO Therapy
- Improved Oxygenation: INO therapy enhances oxygen delivery to the bloodstream by relaxing the blood vessels in the lungs, allowing for better oxygen uptake.
- Reduced Pulmonary Hypertension: By lowering pulmonary blood pressure, INO therapy alleviates the symptoms of PPHN, making it easier for the heart to pump blood through the lungs.
- Non-Invasive and Targeted: This therapy is non-invasive and directly targets the lungs, minimizing potential side effects compared to systemic medications.
Our INO Therapy Process
