Nitric oxide: delivery, measurement, and clinical application.
The biologic and therapeutic roles of NO are rapidly being elucidated. Before inhalational NO administration is commonplace, there is a clear need for consensus regarding safe and accurate delivery and measurement systems. The potential for NO usage appears large and potentially life-saving; yet multicenter trials need to carefully evaluate efficacy and safety.
