Mises en Garde et Précautions
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Rebound: Abrupt discontinuation of Noxivent™ may lead to worsening oxygenation and increasing pulmonary artery pressure ( 5.1 ). Methemoglobinemia: Methemoglobin increases with the dose of nitric oxide; following discontinuation or reduction of nitric oxide, methemoglobin levels return to baseline over a period of hours ( 5.2 ). Elevated NO 2 Levels: Monitor NO 2 levels ( 5.3 ). Heart Failure: In patients with pre-existing left ventricular dysfunction, Noxivent™ may increase pulmonary capillary wedge pressure leading to pulmonary edema ( 5.4 ).
Contre-indications
CONTRAINDICATIONS Neonates dependent on right-to-left shunting of blood ( 4 ).
Frequently Asked Questions
INDICATIONS AND USAGE Noxivent™ is a vasodilator indicated to improve oxygenation and reduce the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in term and near-term (>34 weeks gestation) neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension in conjunction with ventilatory support and other appropriate agents.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommended dose is 20 ppm, maintained for up to 14 days or until the underlying oxygen desaturation has resolved ( 2.1 ). Doses greater than 20 ppm are not recommended ( 2.1 , 5.2 ) Administration: • Avoid abrupt discontinuation ( 2.2 , 5.1 ).
