A Randomized Trial of Inhaled Nitric Oxide to Prevent Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury after Lung Transplantation
Abstract
Inhalation of nitric oxide (NO) has been advocated as a method to prevent ischemia-reperfusion injury after lung transplantation. We enrolled 84 patients into a concealed, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the effect of inhaled NO (20 ppm NO or nitrogen) initiated 10 minutes after reperfusion on outcomes after lung transplantation.
