Nitric oxide to protect brain and kidneys in babies during heart surgery
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether giving nitric oxide during heart-lung bypass surgery can help protect a baby’s brain and kidneys. If you qualify, the study team will check outcomes after surgery to see if benefits happen compared with usual care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is a newborn or infant under 1 year old.
- Your child has congenital heart disease and is scheduled for corrective surgery that uses cardiopulmonary bypass.
- Your child did NOT already need inhaled nitric oxide right before surgery.
- The surgery is planned, not an emergency.
- Your child does not have serious kidney disease before this surgery.
- Your child is able to complete the study’s brain/delirium assessments (English is not required if translation is available).

This Phase 3 study tests whether not giving nitric oxide during heart-lung bypass in newborns helps reduce the risk of acute kidney injury. It focuses on newborns having heart surgery for congenital heart disease.
This trial tests whether giving nitric oxide gas during heart surgery can help patients recover faster and need less breathing and circulation support afterward. It is for people having planned heart or aortic surgery with a heart-lung machine for the first time.
This trial tests whether inhaled nitric oxide gas can help full-term newborns who have severe breathing problems and high blood pressure in their lungs. It aims to improve oxygen levels and reduce the need for more intensive support.
This trial tests a portable device that delivers nitric oxide gas to help newborns with severe breathing problems and high blood pressure in the lungs. It aims to see if this treatment improves oxygen levels and supports recovery.
This study tests whether breathing in a gas called nitric oxide during and after heart surgery can help prevent kidney damage. The treatment is given through a mask or tube to support kidney function.
This trial tests whether giving a gas called inhaled nitric oxide helps newborns with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia breathe better and improve lung blood pressure. It's a type of treatment often used to help with lung problems in babies.
