The effect of tolazoline was assessed in 29 hypoxic neonates. Tolazoline was given in a bolus starting at 1 mg/kg and repeated or infused for 5-134 hours. A "good clinical response," defined as a rise in PaO2 of more than 20 mm Hg, was obtained in 23 (79%), 20 of this group were weaned from the respirator, and three died. Six infants did not respond initially and four died. Failure to respond to tolazoline or to be weaned from the ventilator was usually associated with severe additional pathology. Urine output (greater than 1 ml/kg/h) was adequate in most neonates during therapy. In those with preexisting oliguria (less than 1 ml/kg/h), output improved during therapy. Blood pressure monitoring showed a fall in blood pressure in 19 patients during tolazoline administration, but true hypotension only occurred in four; in seven there was no fall and in three there was a rise in blood pressure. Echocardiography was performed prior to therapy in 19 patients and repeated in 12 patients after 24 h. Additional "tracking" was performed at 10 min, 1 h, and 4 h in seven patients. Prior to therapy, right ventricular dysfunction was demonstrated by abnormal right ventricular systolic time intervals (RVSTIs) in 17 of the patients tested. A rapid improvement was evident during therapy especially with "tracking." Left ventricular dysfunction, assessed by left ventricular systolic time intervals (LVSTIs), ejection fraction (EF), shortening fraction (SF), and velocity of circumferential fiber shortening (VCF), was also evident prior to therapy and improved, though more gradually than the RVSTIs.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
