Birth Injury: Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of The Newborn (PPHN)

Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN)

THE SIMPLE FACTSTM...Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a serious, often fatal condition that affects newborn babies. PPHN limits the amount of blood flowing to an infant's lungs and the amount of oxygen entering the bloodstream.

PPHN may result from a problem during delivery or another condition (e.g., possibly SSRI’s like Paxil) that affects the lungs or oxygen supply to the baby in the womb or during childbirth. PPHN occurs in approximately one or two in 1,000 babies, typically in term or near-term deliveries. Symptoms usually appear within 12 hours after birth.

Quite frankly, the simple factsTM about the drug Paxil and the possible birth injury - Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of Newborn (PPHN) - that may be caused from taking SSRI drugs like Paxil are unacceptable.
