title: Nitric oxide in critical care medicine.
abstract: Few areas of medicine have failed to be affected by the discovery of nitric oxide and the unravelling of its many physiological and pathophysiological roles. Possibly no other area of medicine has this discovery had so many potential therapeutic applications as in the field of critical care medicine. But will this widespread interest in nitric oxide result in the promised revolution in clinical care?
