Abstract: Pulmonary hypertension in neonates is a life-threatening condition that significantly contributes to neonatal morbidity and mortality, particularly in preterm newborns or those with underlying conditions. This study reviews the combination therapy of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) and nitric oxide (NO) through the analysis of four clinical cases from Barranquilla, Colombia. The findings highlight the potential of this synergistic approach in improving oxygenation and reducing pulmonary arterial pressure. The review underscores the importance of early, multidisciplinary intervention in enhancing clinical outcomes for affected neonates.
