Özet

Background/Purpose: Pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary hypoplasia account for the high mortality rate associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). In animal models of CDH, postnatal nitric oxide (NO) inhalation resulted in significantly better survival rates and antenatal glucocorticoid administration in improved lung compliance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the combined effect of prenatal glucocorticoid administration and postnatal NO inhalation on the survival rate of newborn rats with nitrofen-induced CDH.
