He as very mild PPHN and they are trying Viagra. They can't justify NO because his PPHN was too mild. Though, I have seen it work on a baby via nasal cannula. He is on all the diuretics. The last time they tried to wean those he ended up with loads of fluid in his chest.
I just have a question for you more seasoned nurses out there. I have only been a NICU nurse for 4 years so I am experiencing new things every day. I have been taking care of a previous 25 weeker with severe BPD. He has been in the NICU for 8 months now. It seems everytime we try to wean him from meds or support some catastrophe happens. Recently it was weaning his O's to low flow. He ended up with a CO2 in the 80s. Now we are back on CPAP for 8 hours and Vapotherm for 16. Talk has come up from other nurses that I should prepare myself that he may never go home. Have you seen infants get this far and not survive. Neurologically he is actually very appropriate.
