Most effective in patients with severe persistent pulmonary hypertension who have minimal underlying parenchymal lung disease (idiopathic persistent pulmonary hypertension).

Least effective in neonates with pulmonary hypoplasia (e.g., congenital diaphragmatic hernia).

Has been used with good results (i.e., decreased the incidence of severe intraventricular hemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia) in premature neonates (<34 weeks’ gestation) who were undergoing mechanical ventilation for respiratory distress syndrome.
