Non-Invasive Administration of Inhaled Nitric Oxide and Its Hemodynamic Effects in Patients With Acute Right Ventricular Dysfunction

This study shows the use of inhaled nitric oxide (NO) via noninvasive means (nasal prongs or high flow nasal cannulae) is an effective method for reduction of PV resistance. With right ventricular dysfunction becoming an increasingly recognised event after cardiac surgery, this allows for application of NO without the need for intubation.
