[Gas exchange and hemodynamic effects of nitric oxide inhalation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome].
To analyze the effects on gas exchange and hemodynamics of nitric oxide inhalation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. ⋯ Low doses of inhaled nitric oxide induce a selective pulmonary vasodilatation and significant improvement of oxygenation in the majority of acute respiratory distress syndrome patients, although those with a hyperkinetic hemodynamic status are less likely to improve the oxygenation. These effects are maintained for at least 5 days. We did not observe rebound effects.
