    Author: Filippi L, Serafini L, Gozzini E, Poggi C, Moroni M, Fiorini P.
    Journal: Minerva Pediatr; 2011 Jun; 63(3):233-5. PubMed ID: 21654603.
    Abstract:
    Neonatal pulmonary hypertension refractory to high frequency ventilation (HFOV) and inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is an occasional occurrence. We report a full-term neonate with severe pulmonary hypertension unresponsive to the treatment with HFOV and iNO, later associated with prostacyclin, who rapidly improved after the addition of vecuronium, a neuromuscular blocker.
