The combination of inhaled nitric oxide and pulmonary artery balloon inflation improves oxygenation during whole-lung lavage.
We present a case in which the use of inhaled nitric oxide associated with temporary partial unilateral pulmonary artery occlusion further improved oxygenation during whole-lung lavage. This is the first case in the literature describing the simultaneous use of these two modalities.
