Summary
This study hopes to determine whether nitric oxide along with oxygen during the first 20
minutes of life in infants needing help with breathing will reduce the percentage and total
exposure to oxygen during that time frame. Although the use of oxygen in management of
breathing is an important part of supporting baby immediately after delivery, there is more
evidence that too much exposure to oxygen may lead to potential problems for your baby later.
Oxygen exposure can be harmful to premature babies developing lungs.
