| Description | During 1998-1999 inhaled nitric oxide (NO) was tested in 23 ARDS patients (13 in Pilsen centre, 10 in Brno centre) with the mean age of 48 years (range 20 - 74 years). Oxygenation index (01 = paO2/FiO2) before the NO test (10 - 20 ppm for 30 minutes) was 100 46 mmHg and 11 patients (48%) responded to inhaled NO with a significant 01 increase. We conclude that ARDS patients may profit from inhaled NO in the early phase of the disease before critical hypoxemia develops. |
