Official Title: Early Combined Use of Inhaled Nitric Oxide and Oral Sildenafil on the Outcome of Pulmonary Hypertension in New Born Infants

Brief Summary: This study hopes to evaluate the effectiveness of early combined use of Sildenafil and nitric oxide (iNO) in newborns with Persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) and or hypoxemic respiratory failure and assess whether this would improve oxygenation, improve time on mechanical ventilation for these babies and also prevent rebound hypoxic episodes.
