Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) - The NoNO Trial - a Multi-center, De-implementation, Stepped-wedge, Cluster-randomized Trial Within an Established Collaborative
The purpose of this study is to determine if de-implementation of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) in the post-natal resuscitation/stabilization phase affects the composite outcome of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) use and/or mortality, as well as ECLS use, mortality, and/or oxygenation in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) newborns and to establish the cost-effectiveness of de-implementing iNO as a therapy in the postnatal resuscitation/stabilization phase of CDH management, which will be assessed as the incremental health system costs (savings) per prevented ECLS use and/or death.
• Postnatal, live born neonates with CDH
• a. Presence of associated or additional anomalies is acceptable for inclusion
• Bochdalek hernia location (right or left)
• Diagnosed prior to 1 month of life
• Born within or transferred to (within 1 week of life) a CDHSG member center participating in the trial
