The commentary by Drs Abman and Kinsella entitled "Inhaled Nitric Oxide for Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn: The Physiology Matters!" provides one important and valid viewpoint concerning the optimal design of clinical trials in this area of neonatology. The approach that they advocate involves individualized and meticulous care of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) patients depending on their underlying disease, using whatever conventional or rescue therapy (before extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [ECMO] is needed to support the patient, while testing the efficacy of inhaled nitric oxide (I-NO).

The Relationship

To the Editor.— We read with interest Dr Gross' letter1 concerning the relationship between inborn and outborn infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension and the relevance of "classical" extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) inclusion criteria and outcome of therapy. We wholly agree with his observation that early skilled respiratory treatment of infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension to a large extent can obviate the need for ECMO, and we wish to report our experience. As has been noted, the major category of patients requiring ECMO are those with severe meconium aspiration syndrome.2

Statistical Inferences

To the Editor.— We are concerned about the statistical inferences, assumptions for comparisons, and arguments of logic implicit in the recent article on survival of infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension with ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation).1 The authors did acknowledge the difficulties of retrospective review, especially over 8 years when obstetrical and neonatal care should be improving. However, other details not reported on their patient population and classification might yield important information for this historical comparison.

Repeat Cesarean Delivery

Significant respiratory morbidity following elective cesarean delivery has been widely reported.1-4 More recently, it has been recognized that this morbidity is not always the result of inadvertent delivery of a premature neonate,5 but, instead, may be due to a predilection of these neonates for developing persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn(PPHN).6-8 Despite Heritage and Cunningham's report6 of 25% mortality in patients with persistent pulmonary hypertension following elective repeat cesarean section, the potential severity of respiratory distress associated with this method of delivery does not appear to be generally recognized. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used to treat newborns
