1000-1250g Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO)
Participants weighing between 1000 and 1250 grams received a low concentration of iNO until they were 30 weeks corrected gestational age or for 14 days if they were born at 29 weeks or more. iNO was initiated at 10ppm to yield a minimum of 5ppm to the posterior pharynx.

Measure
Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO)
n=59 Participants
Participants will receive a low concentration of iNO until they are 30 weeks corrected gestational age or for 14 days if they were born at 29 weeks or more. Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) will be delivered using the iNOVent device to provide 10 ppm proximally (yielding approximately 5 ppm to the posterior pharynx).
Placebo (Nitrogen)
n=65 Participants
Participants will receive Placebo until they are 30 weeks corrected gestational age or for 14 days if they were born at 29 weeks or more. Placebo will be delivered using the iNOVent device to provide 10 ppm proximally (yielding approximately 5 ppm to the posterior pharynx).
