Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyMulticenter randomized controlled trial of inhaled nitric oxide for pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome.
To test the hypothesis that inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) would lead to improved oxygenation and a decrease in duration of mechanical ventilation in pediatric patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. ⋯ The use of iNO was associated with a significantly reduced duration of mechanical ventilation and significantly greater rate of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-free survival.
