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

Summary

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.

Interventions

• Drug
  Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) use

  The center will use iNO per their usual protocol in the initial resuscitation period (defined as birth through stabilization and CDH repair). No center will alter any component of their standard clinical practice guideline or protocol governing CDH care.

• Other
  De-implementation of Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) use

  The center will stop using iNO in the initial resuscitation period (defined as birth through stabilization and CDH repair).
