Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Medicine - Department of Pediatrics Summary: Background: Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a cardiopulmonary disorder characterized by elevated pulmonary vascular resistance with resultant shunting of pulmonary blood to the systemic circulation. Diagnosis of PPHN is usually made by echocardiography. Management of the disease includes treatment of underlying causes, sedation, and analgesia, maintenance of adequate blood pressure, and ventilator and pharmacologic measures to increase pulmonary vasodilatation, and normalize blood pH. Other treatment options include (ECMO) and inhaled nitric oxide (iNO). Aim of work: The main aim is to evaluate the different inotropes and pulmonary vasodilators in managing PPHN in term and near term neonates. Patients and methods: A final number of 41 neonates presented with PPHN, fulfilling inclusion criteria, in the period from February 2018 till the end of July 2018 to the (NICU) of Cairo university children Hospital. They were categorized according to the main drug used (milrinone, sildenafil or dobutamine) into three groups and compared to each other regarding improvement in oxygen saturation, oxygenation index (OI) and echocardiographic parameters
