Arms Assigned Interventions
1: Experimental
Inhaled nitric oxide
Drug: inhaled nitric oxide
The amount of gas will be carefully controlled and adjusted to the level that best improves the function of subject's lungs. The subject will remain on the selected treatment until he/she reaches 33 weeks of gestation or no longer needs supplemental oxygen, whichever comes first.
2: Placebo Comparator Drug: oxygen
The amount of gas will be carefully controlled and adjusted to the level that best improves the function of the subject's lungs. The subject will remain on the selected treatment until he/she reaches 33 weeks of gestation or no longer needs supplemental oxygen, whichever comes first.
