Intratracheal injection of nitric oxide, generated from air by pulsed electrical discharge, for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension in awake ambulatory lambs

ConclusionsContinuously delivering electrically generated NO through a Scoop catheter produces vasodilation of the pulmonary vasculature of awake lambs with pulmonary hypertension. Transtracheal NO delivery may provide a long-term treatment for patients with chronic pulmonary hypertension as an outpatient without requiring a mask or tracheal intubation.
