Treatment Of Hypertension

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are effective at lowering blood pressure in the neonate and the child. However, these drugs, when used for the treatment of hypertension in the premature infant, must be used with caution to avoid the complications that are well documented in the literature. All of the infants described in the article by Perlman and Volpe had extreme hypotension and oligunia. A group of nine infants with renal failure complicating captopril therapy were recently reported from the same institution.
