Does initial oxygenation response to inhaled nitric oxide predict improved outcome in congenital diaphragmatic hernia?
Inhaled nitric oxide therapy seems to increase survival in PH due to CDH. No predictive parameters to orient patient selection could be identified; however, the early response seemed to predict the overall outcome. Good results in our series were attributed to routine use of sildenafil and dopamine, along with the nitric oxide inhalation.
Energy requirements for a commonly run distance in recreational endurance training differ significantly but not relevantly between slow and fast speeds. However, increasing total running distance might lead to larger differences.
