Associated with better oxygenation in this cohort; leaves open whether nitric oxide prevents dysfunction in randomized trials.
Does inhaled nitric oxide prevent lung oxygenating dysfunction in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing myocardial revascularization with extracorporeal circulation?
Intraoperative inhaled nitric oxide at 10 ppm significantly preserves arterial oxygenation and reduces intrapulmonary shunting in patients undergoing myocardial revascularization with extracorporeal circulation.
Ia et al. (2011) studied this question.
