INOmax reduces the need for ECMO

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a rescue therapy for neonates with HRF.1-3 INOmax® (nitric oxide) gas, for inhalation, reduces the need for ECMO in term and near-term neonates with HRF.4

See the data

Possible complications of ECMO3,5-9

ECMO can result in serious short- and long-term complications, such as:

  • Mechanical complications
    • Thrombosis
    • Equipment failure
  • Patient complications
    • Neurologic
    • Hemorrhagic
    • Cardiopulmonary
    • Renal
    • Metabolic
    • Infection

Actor Portrayal

It only takes a moment for something to go wrong

Since inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) has a half-life of less than 6 seconds, an abrupt disruption of iNO treatment may lead to life-threatening rebound effects, such as rebound pulmonary hypertension. Signs and symptoms include4,10-12:

  • Hypoxemia
  • Systemic hypotension
  • Bradycardia
  • Decreased cardiac output

It is important to avoid abrupt discontinuation of iNO due to the possible rebound effects. To wean, down-titrate in several steps, pausing several hours at each step to monitor for hypoxemia.4

Our team is prepared for the unexpected

If you need product outside of a routinely scheduled order, we can arrange an emergency delivery.*

  • Regional Service Centers across the country facilitate an emergency equipment response

*Emergency deliveries are most often made within 4 to 6 hours, but may take up to 24 hours, depending on hospital location and/or circumstances.

INDICATION

INOmax is indicated to improve oxygenation and reduce the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in term and near-term (>34 weeks gestation) neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension in conjunction with ventilatory support and other appropriate agents.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

  • INOmax® (nitric oxide) gas, for inhalation, is contraindicated in the treatment of neonates dependent on right-to-left shunting of blood.
  • Abrupt discontinuation of INOmax may lead to increasing pulmonary artery pressure and worsening oxygenation.
  • Methemoglobinemia and NO2 levels are dose dependent. Nitric oxide donor compounds may have an additive effect with INOmax on the risk of developing methemoglobinemia. Nitrogen dioxide may cause airway inflammation and damage to lung tissues.
  • In patients with pre-existing left ventricular dysfunction, INOmax may increase pulmonary capillary wedge pressure leading to pulmonary edema.
  • Monitor for PaO2, inspired NO2, and methemoglobin during INOmax administration.
  • INOmax must be administered using a calibrated FDA-cleared Nitric Oxide Delivery System.
