Inhaled Nitric Oxide Use in Pediatric Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To characterize contemporary use of inhaled nitric oxide in pediatric acute respiratory failure and to assess relationships between clinical variables and outcomes. We sought to study the relationship of inhaled nitric oxide response to patient characteristics including right ventricular dysfunction and clinician responsiveness to improved oxygenation. We hypothesize that prompt clinician responsiveness to minimize hyperoxia would be associated with improved outcomes.

Design

An observational cohort study.

Setting

Eight sites of the Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network.

Patients

One hundred fifty-one patients who received inhaled nitric oxide for a primary respiratory indication.

Measurements and main results

Clinical data wer
