Material/Methods: Out of 30 PPHN newborns treated with iNO, 22 survived and 8 died. Arterial blood gases, saturation, ventilator settings and echocardiography were obtained at least every 12 hours up to 24hrs after iNO weaning.Results: Survivals did not differ from fatal cases in respect to gestational age and Apgar scores, but had higher birth weight (3094±940 vs. 2075±1018 g; p
