@entity120 of the newborn is defined as the failure of the normal circulatory transition that occurs after birth. It is a syndrome characterized by marked @entity120 that causes @entity519 and right-to-left extra-pulmonary shunting of blood. In the treatment of @entity120 of the newborn, the goal is to increase @entity26 flow to the baby's organs to prevent serious health problems.

We performed a retrospective, descriptive and transversal study to investigate the prevalence and treatment of @entity4837 @entity1 with @entity120 who were admitted at the Hospital del Ni  o @entity310 from 2004 to 2008. Data, collected from hospital charts, included demographic, clinical course and use of medication. A total of 38 @entity1 were included (prevalence of 5.7%). The average age of @entity1 was 8.4 +/- 1.4 days. The mortality rate was 42.1%. Data were collected and 45 different drugs were given to the pediatric @entity1 . The median number of drugs/inpatient was 8.3 (1-18). The therapeutic class most prescribed was anti-infective (29.9% of all the prescriptions), followed by cardiovascular and renal drugs (26.4% of all the prescriptions) and gastrointestinal agents (14.6% of all the prescriptions). @entity5616 was the drug most commonly used, followed by @entity869 and @entity1363 . We found a high mortality rate and as in many studies, the therapeutic class most used were anti-infectives.
