Study summary

This is a prospective, observational, multicenter study conducted during 1 year in adult and paediatric intensive care units equipped with the EZ-KINOX™ system.

A maximum of 250 patients (newborns to adults, suffering from Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) associated with cardiac surgery or Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension in the Newborn (PPHN) receiving iNO through the integrated delivery and monitoring EZ-KINOX™ system was planned to be included.

The study is strictly non-interventional with the aim of describing current practices and therefore did not affect the patient usual management.

Read the detailed description

This study is intended to describe daily practice and therefore, there is not a standardized protocol but only patient-based and site-based questionnaires.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. iNO characteristics of administration:doses, ventilation mode,concomitant pulmonary vasodilator treatments

    Data collected by questionnaire

    Time frame: Through iNO administration, an average of 4 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Profile of patients: age, gender, disease characteristics.

    Data collected by questionnaire

    Time frame: 1 day

  2. Number and percentage of patients with adverse events

    Time frame: During iNO administration, an average of 4 days

  3. Number and percentage of patients with adverse drug reaction

    As no adverse drug reaction occured during this study, no specific data on time frame can be implemented

    Time frame: From 1h after the end of iNO administration up to 28 days after ICU discharge

  4. Investigator's opinion regarding EZ-KINOX use

    Data collected by questionnaire

    Time frame: Through iNO administration, an average of 4 days
