What is nitric oxide? Nitric oxide is a gas that is inhaled. It works by relaxing smooth muscle to widen (dilate) blood vessels, especially in the lungs. Nitric oxide is used together with a breathing machine (ventilator) to treat respiratory failure in premature babies. Your baby will receive this medication in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or similar hospital setting.
Since the use of nitrous oxide was not based on random assignment, multivariate analyses were performed to assess the effect of nitrous oxide on outcomes after adjusting for a standard set of covariates, determined by IHAST Coordinating Center to be important covariates to include in all post-hoc analyses of neurological and neuropsychological outcomes of the IHAST trial.
