title: Delivery systems for inhaled nitric oxide.
abstract: From a practical standpoint, technical issues related to NO delivery are as important as therapeutic issues. The benefits can be appreciated only if a reliable delivery system is used. Further, hazards and toxicity may be more problematic with an unreliable delivery system. It is incumbent on clinicians using inhaled NO to ensure that the delivery system is safe and reliable.
