摘要: Background. Reperfusion injury (RI) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity among lung transplant recipients. We sought to determine if prophylactic administration inhaled nitric oxide (NO) recipients at reperfusion would prevent RI. also hypothesized that NO proves ineffective in preventing RI then it may improve pulmonary hemodynamics gas exchange the subset patients who develop Methods. After informed consent, 28 consecutive, adult received 20 ppm reperfusion. was withdrawn for 15 min 6 12 hr after reperfusion, were measured. Results. Five (18%) developed Withdrawal this resulted significant rise mean artery pressure reduction oxygenation index. All five with kept on until full functional recovery allograft weaned from mechanical ventilation. None required extracorporeal membrane support; early group 20% (1/5). The remaining 23 without had uneventful postoperative course ventilation within 36 transplantation. Conclusions. Prophylactic-inhaled does not human However, NO, started improves reduces those
