Effects of inhaled nitric oxide in COVID-19-induced ARDS - Is it worthwhile?
Changes in pulmonary hemodynamics and ventilation/perfusion were proposed as hallmarks of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) may overcome these issues and improve arterial oxygenation. ⋯ Overall, iNO could provide immediate help and delay respiratory deterioration in COVID-19-induced moderate to severe ARDS.
