Abstract
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN) is more common in low and middle income countries (LMICs) due to high incidence of sepsis, perinatal asphyxia and meconium aspiration syndrome. Presence of hypoxic respiratory faillure and greater than 5% difference in preductal and post ductal saturation increases clinical sucipision for PPHN. The availability of Inhaled nitric oxide and extracorporaeal membrane oxygenation is limited but pulmonary vasodilators such as sildenafil are readily available in most LMICs
