In group A, newborns received oral Sildenafil solution through feeding tube which was prepared by crushing a 50 mg tablet of sildenafil in distilled water to make a concentration of 5 mg/ml. The protocol for dosing was (1) first dose of 1 mg/kg/dose within 30 minutes admission or within 12 hours of delivery (whichever earlier), (2) Dosing every six hours for a maximum of 8 doses.
In group B, newborns received placebo. The protocol for dosing was (1) first dose of 1 mg/kg/dose within 30 minutes admission or within 12 hours of delivery (whichever earlier), (2) Dosing every six hours for a maximum of 8 doses.
Patients were randomized into two groups. Placebo was prepared with distilled water. In group A, newborns received oral Sildenafil solution through feeding tube which was prepared by crushing a 50 mg tablet of sildenafil in distilled water to make a concentration of 5 mg/ml. In group B, newborns received placebo. The protocol for dosing was (1) first dose of 1 mg/kg/dose within 30 minutes admission or within 12 hours of delivery (whichever earlier), (2) Dosing every six hours for a maximum of 8 doses, (3) Dose was doubled if the oxygenation index (OI) or SpO2 did not improve (If OI continued to be \<10% of previous value and SpO2 was not increasing \>5 of previous value) and blood pressure remained stable
