Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameters are echocardiographic signs of pulmonary hypertension in combination with plasma biomarkers (ICAM, VCAM, sP-selectin, VEGF, von Willebrand factor, thrombomodulin, activated factor VIII:C, nitrate, nitrite, ADMA, NT.pro BNP). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Microcirculatory perfusion (defined by the parameters PVD and MFI) at day 1-7 and at 2 hours after start of iNO, sildenafil and bosentan Correlation with lactate, pH, MAP, pre- and postductal saturation, HF, Hb, Ht, oxygen demand, need of ventilation Drug and metabolite concentrations of sildenafil and bosentan Population PK analysis Pharmacodynamic analysis | — |
